Button to trigger Alert

I'm wanting to send a simple email via an alert. Rob  Wunderlich has a great recipe to achieve almost all of what I need, it can be found here: Search Recipes | Qlikview Cookbook

I want to use this as a "contact us" button, without launching the clients email client.

I need to trigger the alert on demand, I can see the batch option, but can't find any reference to how to use this feature.

Hi Rob

You just have to create a text control.

In its properties, on "Action" tab, choose : "Open URL"

In the command line, write :

mailto:info@kogent360.com

(Put your mail address instead of)

Hope this helps you.

If you want some more elaborate , you have to work with macros , they do whatever you program and works ok!

good luck!

Thanks Fernando,

I use macros to send emails from the QV client quite extensively.  I've also used the maitto command, in this case I don't want the email client to launch, just click the button and send an email.

I'm also trying to stay away from macros as I can't control the server environment.
