qlikview dashboard refreshing logic in Chrome browser

[msmichael]

Hi,

I created a qvw file, and put it on access point server so other users can access the dashboard from web Browser (most of them are using Chrome).

In my dashboard there's an event triggered on document open to always select the max value in "Date" field, however, after end user opens the dashboard in browser, he/she can select other dates. One observation is that, when user selected a date in dashboard, next time he press "F5" or "Ctrl + R" to refresh the dashboard, the selection stayed in the previous selected value, and the open document trigger was not fired.  We tried press Ctrl + F5 to force reload everything, but did not work.

So I'd like to know better about the logic of refreshing dashboard in browser, when the open document will be triggered and when it will not. Also how to make dashboard always trigger document open event when users simply press "F5" to refresh the page.

Thanks,

Michael

One thing of which to be aware is the OnOpen trigger is NOT supported in the Ajax client:

About the best of which I can think would be to set a variable in the load script and use the variable to set the selection in the list box, believe that should work and that should ensure if the user selects something else that things do not revert back I think, but that may depend upon how the web browser is caching things too.  Sorry I do not have anything better for you.

Brett
