Copa data does not provide a native method to execute a Screen Type Specific Action automatically. For a report builder screen that requires its refresh function, use the existing screen switch function as the supported workaround: reexecute that function when the screen must refresh.
Native Automation Limitation
A screen-specific function can be assigned to a button, but the available evidence does not establish that the button itself can be triggered automatically. Do not base the design on simulated button operation unless the project environment independently confirms that capability.
Refresh Workaround
| Requirement | Available approach |
|---|---|
| Execute a Screen Type Specific Action automatically | No native functionality is identified. |
| Refresh the report builder screen | Reexecute the screen switch function. |
| Trigger the assigned button automatically | Not confirmed by the available evidence. |
Implementation and Verification
- Identify the existing screen switch function that opens the report builder screen.
- When the report requires a refresh, reexecute that screen switch function instead of attempting to start the screen-specific refresh action directly.
- Verify that the screen switch runs again and that the report content refreshes. If it does not, separate the screen-switch behavior from the report refresh behavior during diagnosis; the evidence does not define additional refresh commands or settings.
FAQ
Can Copa data run a Screen Type Specific Action automatically?
No native functionality for automatically executing screen-specific functions is identified in the available evidence.
How do I refresh a Copa data report builder screen automatically?
Reexecute the screen switch function associated with the report builder screen, then verify that the report content refreshes.
Can I automatically trigger a Copa data button?
The available evidence does not confirm automatic button triggering. Use reexecution of the screen switch function as the documented workaround for this case.
