Single Value Random - How often, When

How does the random option on the single value column work?
How often is the random choice changed, what triggers the change, does each user see a different value or only if its a user specific column?

Hola!

The Random Number plugin depends on its “seed” and if it is based on time and you want to have a unique value, its value will change every 10 secs (fastest speed).

Of course, if you create your own seed to get a new value as fast as possible, you need to be sure that a variable associated to time is involved in your process.

Thanks Gvalero, but I’m referring to the single value column not the random number plugin.

Single Value Random will update when a user refreshes the app. It’s specific to each user.

Hi again!

but you could create your own random values changing every 10 secs ready to be used by any Single Value Column. Something like this:

In this case, my “Name+Time” column is the seed used by my “Random Number” column (plugin).
