Show Browse on Alteryx Server

Hi all,

I didn't find a recent topic on this, so I wanted to see if there is already a possibility to show the result of a browse tool on the Alteryx Server?

So I want to show a small overview table and then the possibility to export an excel file with the details on different tabs.

I can do the excel part, but I don't succeed in showing the overview table directly on screen.

I remember something similar when you run your flow as an app in Designer, but I'm looking for something similar on the server.

Anyone any tips and tricks?

Kind regards, Tienemientje

Hi @Tienemientje - Try Output Data tool configured to write your result into yxdb. You will then see a sample of your output on the Gallery:

Thank you @ArtApa , exactly what I wanted.

Related to this, do you perhaps know if it is possible to change the order of the output files?

What I have now is that I get my excel listed first and this db listed second. And so it doesn't show this immediately.

My end user should see this overview and then be able to select/download the excel file.

I found some old requests to add this as functionality, but I didn't manage to find out if it is already possible.

I don't know if it is still relevant and how your workflow is build in detail, but with the Block Until Done Tool may help your purpose.
