Scheduling and triggers

Fires the instant the reload finishes.

Schedule a report with a visual cron builder, trigger it when a Qlik task reload succeeds or fails, or chain it after another report. One report can have several triggers.

Available inQlik SensePower BI

A report can run on a time schedule, when data reloads, or after another report finishes. You can combine triggers on one report, so a daily schedule and a reload trigger can live side by side.

Time schedules

The visual cron builder covers hourly, daily, weekly and monthly schedules, with an Advanced mode for any cron expression. The panel shows the next run times in plain language before you save.

On a Qlik task reload

Tie a report to a Qlik Sense task and choose whether it fires when the task succeeds, fails or finishes. Numbers go out as soon as they are ready, not at a fixed time that hopes the reload is done.

After another report

Report chaining runs one report after another completes, for example a finance pack that should only go out after the sales pack.

Safe by default

  • Missed runs are skipped. If the server was offline at 07:00, nobody gets Monday’s report on Tuesday afternoon.
  • Debug mode sends to debug recipients only while you test.
  • On Power BI, a schedule only activates once the report and its connection are validated, and an overlap policy decides what happens if a run is still going.

FAQ

Scheduling and triggers, answered.

Something else? Ask us directly. A product specialist, not a bot, answers within one business day.

What happens if the server was down at the scheduled time?

KPImailer skips missed runs instead of sending them late with stale data. The next scheduled run goes out as normal.

Can a report wait for the data reload?

Yes. On Qlik Sense, a report can fire when a Qlik task reload succeeds, fails or finishes, so recipients always get the freshest numbers.

Which time zone do schedules use?

Schedules run in the time zone you configure. On Power BI you pick the time zone per schedule.
