I am developing with Qlikview on my laptop. I am trying to get Alerts to work but no matter what I do, I cant seem to generate an email. My condition is now 1=1 but it was data driven...just wasn't getting any emails so I set the condition to something that is alway true. I would expect that when I reload the data, the condition would fire throught the Reload event.
Anyway, the events i have are On Open, On Post Reload and Show Popup, delays is 0 days, trigger level= Always, and Mode = Interactive. My email address is my own. The only thought that came to mind is does QV need a smpt server? I am guessing not because there is no place to specify one. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.
I haven't poked around the mail and alert functionality for a long while but under Settings > User Preferences > Mail it's possible to set up an email server to use.
Perfect...thanks. I got the smtp server working (ie it will send a test email when I click the Test button). But sadly Alerts still dont work. I have hte same Alert I described above with a condition of
1=1
Given its true, I would think it would trigger the Alert, generate a popup and send an email to me.
