Run Macro depending on user selection

Question

Hello,

I am new to Alteryx and it is my first time to post a question.

I have 6 different macros inside a workflow. Is it possible to let user select which macro to run? i am thinking for example to have 6 checkboxes(1 check box for each macro), if the user check 1st and 3rd macro then only 2 macros will run. I hope that i explained well my question. Thank you in advance.

Hi @mrJAS ,

Glad that this worked for you. You can try adding another checkbox which you can connect to all 6 checkboxes and that would enable all of them, but I haven't tested how that will work with the selection of the other checkboxes.

Hope that's helps.

Cheers,

Angelos

Thank you for your response and yes i am able to do what i needed with conditional routing using checkbox. Is it okay if i have a follow up question, how can i give the user the option to select all the 6 checkboxes? i am thinking to have another checkbox that says select all and if the user check it all the 6 checkboxes will be selected, is this possible to alteryx?

Hi @mrJAS

Well there is a way you can use to execute one of the macros and is using tool containers in this way you can disable/enable the container you need to execute.

In reality I just have done it with 2 containers, I guess with a little work you can use this method with more containers.

I hope it helps
