Set Variable when the app is opened

In QlikView, you can set a variable's value at the time the QVW is opened, by using the 'Set Variable' action in the 'OnOpen' trigger. 

I know that in Qlik Cloud, field selections can be set to default values when the app is opened by defining the field selections in a Default Bookmark, but how do you set a variable's default value when the Qlik Cloud app is opened? I can't find a way to set a variable's default value within the Default Bookmark config, so how else can this be done in Qlik Cloud, to provide an equivalent to QlikView's 'Set Variable' feature in the OnOpen trigger?

Hi, 

On the opening of a sheet, you can set an Action, called "Set variable value".
Using a bookmark to make an homepage with this action should do the trick

Kind regards

From Next Decision and mpc with love
