Update Macro Output Mode

Question

Hello Alteryx community,

I am trying to build a macro that can be put into apps which will input multiple file types. The macro seen in the file input container in the photo below is iterative and I need to update the XML to change the output mode of that macro. In the output mode container a user is able to select 1 of 3 options which updates the output mode. The output of the "output mode" container is the XML for the input macro.

Is it possible to have the first container run then the second container with the updated XML from the first?

Hi @IraWatt ,

I was hoping to do this in a macro as this may be in a number of different apps built by different users. If I go with the chained app route they will then need to deploy this in all apps.

Thanks!

Hey @c_leary,

I would look at chained apps Chaining Analytic Apps - Alteryx Community. Once your first app runs you then want to run your next workflow, a chained app would achieve this.
