Allowing user to provide input and the output filters data accodingly

[MadhuraBuchake]

Hello All,

I want to create such a workflow that will allow the user to provide an input, and after running the workflow the output should filter data as per the user input. In short, is dynamic user input possible in Alteryx?

I will be sharing this workflow with my team members and they should be able to filter the data as per their requirement instead of extracting the entire data and then filtering.

Thanks,

Madhura

Hey @MadhuraBuchake, this sounds like a perfect use case for an analytical app, whereby the workflow will filter and show an output based on whatever the user enters, based on however you allow them to interact with it through the use of interface tools.

I’d recommend checking out the following knowledge base article as well as the video guides available in the interactive lessons section of the site!

Hi @MadhuraBuchake - One more link for you: https://community.alteryx.com/t5/Interactive-Lessons/tkb-p/interactive-lessons/label-name/Creating%2...

Hi @MadhuraBuchake 

Yes it is possible in alteryx. Basically you have to create Alteryx Analytics App. There are several interface tools available in alteryx like "Text Box", "Drop Down", "Check Box" "Action" which can be used to make workflow dynamic. It would be better if you can share any sample data so that I can provide you the workflow. 

Moreover you can also go through links shared by @DataNath and @ArtApa .

Thank you all @Kurohits @ArtApa @DataNath for replying to my question. 

I created below workflow to allow the user to set start and end date using Action tools. However the logic didnt work. Can anyone help me figure out what could be wrong in this workflow?

Hi @MadhuraBuchake - You configured the action tool to replace a specific string: "2000-01-01". However, there is no such string in the tool. I believe that one action tool needs to replace "2022-06-01" and the other one needs to replace "2022-07-08". Therefore, you need to do just that.
