Timer Qlikview

[efuentes29]

Hi! Everyone, i have a doubt, i want to do a live clock in my qlikview web application. i tried to use the now() function, but the clock remains frozen until i change tabs or click on the work area. any idea or suggestion? 

Thank´s!

Hi,

Did you try =now(1) in text box?

From the help text:

now( [ timer_mode] )
Returns a timestamp of the current time from the system clock. The timer_mode may have the following values:

0 Time at script run
1 Time at function call
2 Time when the document was opened

Default timer_mode is 1. The timer_mode = 1 should be used with caution, since it polls the operating system every second and hence could slow down the system.

Thanks,
Siva

Enrique, check out the following Community post, someone put together an extension for this, will require Web View/Ajax, but if you are using Ajax client, this may do what you want.
