How to run a script when user opens an application

[alenb]

I'm trying to record usage of the app, so I wrote this script. However, it only runs if I click on a button LOAD DATA in the top right corner of my "Data load editor", and the data gets saved to the QVD.

How can make this code execute whenever the user opens the app? Bonus question - how can I also make it run when they open certain sheets within the app?

Set os_user = SubField(SubField(OSUser(), ';', 2), '=', 2);

ANALYTICS:
LOAD
App,
"OSUser",
"TimeStamp"
FROM [01_ANALYTICS.qvd]
(qvd);

Load
'ABTestApp2' as App,
$(os_user) as OSUser,
Now(2) as TimeStamp
AutoGenerate 1;

Store ANALYTICS Into "01_ANALYTICS.qvd"(qvd);

Hi alenb,

For opening with a script. Have you tried adding in a load script using the Data load editor? You can follow this article here which will explain how to do that. 

Let us know if you have any other questions.

Thanks,

David

Hi @alenb 

Perhaps the Telemetry Logging  is the way to go for you, take a look at this video as well Qlik Sense Telemetry Dashboard - Part 3: Analysis 

Hope this helps,

I think I probably wasn't very clear in my question.

It's not about opening with a script. It's about running the script when a user opens the app.

The script I posted is indeed in the "Data load editor", but it doesn't seem to run when a user opens the app, only when I explicitly click on the "Load data" button. My questions is how to force the script I wrote in "Data load editor" to run every time user opens the app.

Maybe you posted wrong link, this one is about how to open an app without the script. I want to know quite the opposite: how to force the script I wrote in "Data load editor" to run every time user opens the app.

Thanks

Hi, I'm working on a centrally managed cloud installation of Qlik Sense, so I don't have the privileges to install anything new. I have to rely on data I can capture in runtime and store into QVD's.
