User data entry in a table

ehaeri

Hi All,

I'm fairly new to Alteryx and have so far managed to make an app that generates a simple table based on different criteria chosen by user. My next aim is to create another app (and chain it to the first one) that takes the first apps output and asks user for 3 different values for each line item and then performs some calculations.

My first app's output table is something like this:

I then need user's inputs for three items i.e. Take Rate (%), Compensation ($) and Cap ($).

For example user must be able to Enter

- 95%, 200, 1000 for record 1

- 90%, 150, 1000 for record 2

and so on...

Could anyone out there help me with that please?

Many Thanks in advance,

Ehsan

Hi @ehaeri 

Alteryx does many things really well, but providing a complex data entry UI is not one of them.   In your specific case, there's no Grid input tool, to allow your user to enter values row by row.  You can set up a UI that will allow entry into 9 fields, but they will be in a column with no easy way to add dynamic text or values to the Input screen. 

You best option here is probably to have the 1st app output an Excel file with the blue output values and Green input column headers populated for the user to edit.  Once done the second app can accept this file as an input.
