Filter a dimension every time App is opened

[#1]

How can I set a filter automatically ever time an app is opened?

For example I have a year field with values 2010 through 2017. When the app is opened I want 2017 selected by default.

Thanks

Please refer to this thread:

Default Selection in Qlik Sense

Hi Philip,

in Qlik Sense it is not possible, as alternative you can use extensions but not all extensions work properly in Qlik Sense,

i tried to solve this problem and i recieved a lot suggestion, but i didnt find a solution ( I know what do you mean: in Qlik View 11: you can solve this problem with Triggers:on open > Value: Year > String; 2017.and if you open and close your app, and you have always preselected value)

i hope that helps you to save your time and think about another alternative

Omar, thanks for the reply. Was looking for a solution without installing extensions.

Good to know that it can be done with the button and bookmark.

Actually nowadays you can create a bookmark with the filter you need and set is as a "Default Bookmark" 
This will trigger it every time the application is opened. 

This can be used for one or more fields; also, if you filter using an expression, the default bookmark can be dynamic.
