Analytic App - Optional Input

adam_rafael_18

Hello,

 

I am trying to build an analytic app for different entities and want to make it optional for each input. I thought the best way to go about this would be using a tool container with 2 different actions: one for the enable/disable and one for the file browse. I attached the basic concept of what I am trying to do but I am running into an issue where I am being required to select an input file - is there a way to not require it?

 

Thanks,

Adam

Yes.

 

you have to un-check the "required" box on the action tool leading into your input data tool - when the action tool is configured in update input data tool mode.

Thanks for responding - can you send a screenshot where it says required? I don't see it on my end

Here - toggle your action tool config and then un-check this box.

 

Try it now...

Thank you ! I had the action tool set to update value  instead of update input data tool which was causing the issue!
