Experts -
I've got a little app here that takes a file via the File Browse tool, does a bunch of stuff and then outputs some Excel workbooks. The workbooks are used as a data source for various MS Word mail merge files.
In any case, after successfully running the app will then show a dialogue box with all the Output Files selected for opening (with the option of deselecting to skip opening). Two questions:
1) Can I disable this box from showing up at all?
2) Alternatively, can I wire the app to somehow show a box with the option of opening the affected MS Word documents rather than the Excel files?
Thank you!
Solved! Go to Solution.
Hi @Bonediggler
In the Interface Designer tab, you have an option to disable the Output Files to show up after running the app.
Go to View > Interface Designer > Properties
"On Success - Show Results to user"
Disable all outputs.
The second question I don't think you can do that in an intuitive way, since Word documents are not a supported data source in Alteryx.
I think you could do something like chain this to a second app that would show a List Box of word documents and play with them to trigger a Run Command tool to open them or not depending on this selection.
That's something that I just came up with, there might be other ways.
Cheers,
