Session parameter to identify user's first visit each day?

[#1]

I have a need to display a pop-up message the first time the user visits an application each day.    Is there a session variable (or strategy) that would help me to interrogate this?

not like session variables, but this may be useful to track?

Don't think so, However, depending on where you intend to display such a pop-up, there may be solutions imaginable.

The logs contain useful information about UserID, DocumentID and timestamps.

This can be achieved using input fields.

An input field is a way to write information back to QlikView.  It is stored in the .Shared file and is user dependent.

You could write the value to an input field and then compare the input field when the document is loaded.  If the date stored in the input field < today() then enable a text box with your "pop up message".

Forgot to mention Input fields survive reloads and work on clustered server environments.  I have found limited use for input fields but this sounds like a good use case.
