Also, please share the link of Use cases or weekly challenges.

Thank you in advance.

Say you have 2 inputs (or 200 for that matter), all linked to your desktop:
2021-06-02 07_34_49-Alteryx Designer x64 - New Workflow6_.png

And then say all the data moves to another location (like "N:\TeamData\"). You can just update that Directory above and bam - all 200 inputs will be updated at once.

Hi @anupgupta12

Constants are basically external values and is fixed for a workflow. It can be used in formula tool to get more info and use it in workflow like workflow name, path etc. Here i am using workflow filename to get workflow name.

Hope this helps 🙂
