Chained App - Returning a list of items

ctroutman

I have created a chained app and during one of the apps I am wanting to look at unjoined items from a join tool. I won't have to use the items later but I just want to be able to show on the screen that those items did not join.

Is it possible to do this midway through a chained app? If not, how can I make sure once the app runs its displays this list of unjoined items?

Hello @ctroutman 

Based on my understanding of chained apps its not possible to output the unjoined records half way through the run time of one of the apps individually. However, it should be possible to output the records after the first app has finished running, before the subsequent app runs. In order to do this you will need to do two things. Firstly make sure the output you are wanting to see feeds into either a browse or output data tool. Secondly, in the interface designer, you will need to go to the properties tab and make sure the corresponding tool is selected, in the "On Success- show results to user" tab, as seen in the image below:

(I appreciate I have not selected the "On Success - run another analytic app" option, but the same logic still applies). 

I hope this helps answer your question.
