Automatically Hit Refresh Button on Start of the App

Hello,

Into my App I have 2 buttons which shows counts from Shipped Date and Received Date fields (is not blank).

For some reason when I open the App, the count does not show up correctly.

And then I have a button called Refresh. Once I click the Refresh button, the count shows up correctly.

Is there a way, when users open the App, it automatically hits the Refresh button, rather than manually clicking it.

Please advise.

@Prem4253,

Its just a collection created.

ClearCollect(collectionName,DataSource).

One more thing, if you provided on visible of screen every time it will set the value.

I applied the logic on OnVisible property of the Screen and it appears to be working. Thanks! for your help.

Hi,

If you specifically want to click the button, you could put code in the OnVisible property of your Screen. The code to call the button would be something like:

Select(Button1);

Replace with your Button name.

The OnVisible code will run when the Screen is displayed.

This might get you what you are looking for in the short term.

In the long term you may want to use the App - OnStart property to write code to populate a Collection that you can pull your counts from.

You could also add a Timer to your Screen to automatically refresh the data after a certain interval.

@Prem4253,

There is property called Application OnStart - when you set the value in the app on start the values will set automatically whenever the app is loaded.
