Asking a User to Input Values whilst Displaying Data at the Same Time to User

Tommy_Alterax

Hi Guys,

 

I'm looking to prompt a user for data inputs - a target number - That shouldn't be to difficult via an Analytical App 

 

However, when that prompt is appearing to the user I would like to summarise some data from the workflow (some data points) and display it on the same screen which is prompting the user to input "Target Number"

 

Help

Convert Workflow to Analytic App

Go to File → Save As → Analytic App in Alteryx Designer.

Prepare Summary Data

In your workflow, calculate the summary metrics you want to show (e.g., totals, averages).
Output these values to a Text Input Tool or Message Tool via an Action Tool.


Add Interface Tools

Numeric Up Down or Text Box → for the user to enter the Target Number.
Text Box or Message Tool → to display the summary data.


Dynamic Update of Summary

Use an Action Tool to update the text in the summary box with the calculated values from your workflow.
Example: If your summary is “Current Total: [value]”, the Action Tool replaces [value] with the actual number.


Arrange in Interface Designer

Open Interface Designer (View → Interface Designer).
Place both the summary text and input field on the same page.
You can add labels, formatting, and even conditional messages.

"Output these values to a Text Input Tool or Message Tool via an Action Tool" 

 

Confused this step - How can I output data to a Text Input Tool ?
