Issue with block object (qlik app automation)

Hello everyone,

 

I have an issue regarding automation.

I created a list of values field with less than 5 values.

Each rows/values represents a loop i want to execute in the workflow automation.

THe issue is the following:

Once i created the loop in the output i now have thrtee option:

- select first qtext from **

- select all qtext from

- select one of

if i select the first two options i cannot do a loop.

 

In a previous automation, i still have this

but it is impossible just to select this output: i mean the loop/item/QText.

Because if i select "loop on first row" i won't be able to perform a loop.

I'm lost

 

Anyone could help ?

Thank you

Basically "List Values of Field" is a loop.
It will iterate over all items in the list and executes each block placed inside the loop for each item (see screenshot, in that example a report with a selection will be created for each value in the list).

So, do you want to create a loop that iterates over each item in your list (and then probably apply a setting corresponding to each item)?

-> If so, place your blocks inside the List Values of Field loop as shown in the screenshot. 
You will also find a reference on how to set this up here: How to send a bursted report using Qlik Application Automation 

 

Or do you want to make another loop for each item?

-> If that is the case, please provide more information on what the loop over for each item should be.

 

Best regards,

Philip

Hello everyone,

 

Basically in my loop parameter i can only

Either select the first low of my list of value fields or the second row.

But i would like to just select the item section so i can perform my loop for each value.

Which i struggle to do right now.

Thank you

Hello thank you for your insight !

I placed my block in a wrong way.

That's why my workflow couldn't perform the run properly.

Thank you
