Alteryx Gallery Event Hyperlink

Hi,

is it possible to add a hyperlink in the output message of an app?

Even better would be, if the app on alteryx server would automatically open a browser link. It works with an event in the app, using a ".bat" file. On the alteryx server this does not work.

Thank you in advance!

Best,

Jakob

Use a Browse tool instead of a Render tool and in the Interface Designer properties choose On Success - Show Results to User and select the Browse.

Or, if you are looking for a management demo, simply publish it to Alteryx Public Gallery and they can see the link without having Alteryx installed on their machine.

You can do this using the Report Text and Render tools.

If you published this app to server, the user would receive a clickable link once the workflow is finished running.

Hi,

thanks for your answer, this works how you said. But I want it to show to the management. So perfect scenario would be if I can see directly the link in the output message. With this way the output file first has to be opened... Do you if it is possible to show it in the output window?

Best,

Jakob

I just tried it and it does not display anything once the workflow has completed:

I think you're best bet is to use the Reporting tools to generate what you want displayed, then use the Render tool to output a pcxml file

Here's an example. In a macro that generates the report:

Render the output:

The output in our Gallery:

Good luck!

Where would I save the output file to - in the folder that I have the workflow or does it need to be a network location (UNC Path) the Alteryx server has access to?
