App/Action Configuration to Update Input File on Server

Hello - I am relatively new to using the server and app interfaces. I have tried to create a simple workflow with an app interface to publish on the gallery to get folks more interested in the server (newly launched). However, I'm having issues with the app interface correctly working so that users can select their own input file for the workflow. Any help would be much appreciated! Packaged workflow is attacked.

@hurleyk If you select the Standard Database File Formats option in the File Browse tool, it will allow the user to select the sheet they want natively so you won't need the texts box.

 

Additionally, for the action tool that updates the workbook in the input data tool, set it to Update Input Data Tool (Default), that should do it for you.

That worked - thank you! I didn't know that format option could specify the sheet name.
