Ability to delay update of a data object based on variable/action?

[datagrrl]

I saw this question answered seven years ago, and the answer seemed to be no. Someone told me a competitor's software has this ability.

Basically we have a number of objects that are memory intensive, and a set of ten filters users would apply. I would prefer if they users could hit a button when they completed their selections to update the objects. I can accomplish this with a text box action/variable, but as far as I can tell, the objects would all say "Calculation Condition Unfulfilled" instead of the previous calculated data.

What are you exactly looking for here?

do you want the object calculations enabled only after the selections are done and hitting the apply button?

or do you want the calculations enabled after a particular time after the reload of the app?

[datagrrl]

The former. Sorry if I wasn't clear. I want to the update with the existing/saved selections when the users loads the app, and only update again when the user has completed all of their selections and hit the apply button.

PSA

Just play around with the objects and conditions.but the basic logic would be the one in the attached qvw

Thanks for this. I am attaching a qvw that kind of does what I am asking, but instead of saying "Calculation Condition unfulfilled" while make new selections I want it to leave the chart with the previous selections.

I suggest to use a listbox in alternate state and let the button transfer the selection(s) from the alternate state to the default state. The selections in the alternate state won't affect the calculations in the default state untill you press the button and transfer these to the default state. Also see attached.
