How to run function upon clicking button

[Johnny]

Hi,

I'm new to Qlik Sense, I'm trying to simulate a user survey response submission form with a Qlik Sense dashboard. I'm letting the user fill in the requirements, and then hit a submit button to submit.

I have a python SSE running, which gets the user selections, does some manipulation and stores it in a database. Only problem is that the SSE function on Qlik is always running, which means that I'll get alot of extra submissions. So I'm trying to create a "Submit" button to circumvent this issue.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Hi Johnny,

I try to do the same thing.

Did you find a solution ?

Thanks,

Paul

I also came across this thread hoping for hints on the same functionality.  I still have not found it.

For future searches: a hack-y workaround is to use a button element to set/unset a variable, and then use each chart element's 'Calculation Condition' to only display (meaning, run the SSE function) when the variable linked to the toggle button is set.  This is not applicable to the Original Poster's use case of a survey, though.

This is shown in Nabeel's video here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7E944kz1l5s (at 3:40 into the video... see what he does in the lower-left corner, then notice how the charts go gray and say "Forecasting is paused")

This is not an ideal workaround in most cases because the user sees an ugly gray screen instead of the 'frozen' widget.
