How to display the output from an output block in an app?

Hi there,

does anybody know if it is possible to display the output from an output block in Qlik Application automation in an app? I’d be grateful for ideas!

Thanks, Ingo!

Hello @Ingo ,

The output of an Output block in an automation can be displayed as a toast in an app if the app uses a button to trigger the automation. See https://community.qlik.com/t5/Official-Support-Articles/How-to-build-a-write-back-solution-with-nati...

What you probably want to do though is to create and display a variable in an app, then update this from the automation using the "Update Variable" block in the Qlik Cloud Services connector. Keep in mind that the "Save App" block would have to be used if you want to distribute this update to other sessions. Here's a video that shows how this is done: https://youtu.be/IL8Exn-6XYU?t=382
