APP With several result

Hello to everyone.

Right now I’m trying to build an app from a workflow that I have been working on.

This workflow has 2 containers, one that produces 2 databases and another that produces two excels files that are combine into one file.

The workflow works perfectly.

 

But when I try to transform that into an APP something happens, the output box shows all the results.

the only result that I need is the excel files with two taps, those above are the ones that, as I said before, help me to produce said file. 

I try to used report tools in order to get a "report" but because the file will grow up exponentially each month I found out that is not a solution in this case. 

 

I don´t know if what I want is even doable. But any insight is welcome. 

 

Thank You.

@neromerob, you can change what you see on completion of the app by going to the Interface Designer (Ctrl+Alt+D) and going to the settings (cog) tab. There’ll be an option to change what is shown on completion and there you can just tick the 2 excel outputs there and untick the .yxdbs.

 

Is that what you’re after?

Hi @neromerob 

 

Why not output straight to Excel files, and remove the intermediary step of outputting to yxdb files?

Hello sir.

 

Well the reason I created the app this way is because the real app is way longer that the one I show in this post, for reasons that I could figure out I lost part of the format of the name of the headers while the data grows, for example, if i had a file with 10 columns the manes appears correctly (2022_3) but if the files increases some characters beings to disappear (20223). Regardless if i use report or Excel Files as an Output 

 

So the only solution that I found was to divided the process in two containers, one in which I produce "intermediate databases" and the other where I used those databases to create the Excel Files, for now is working.
