Choosing between data sources

Hi

 

I want the user to be able to select the book type, A or B, using a Radio Button.
If they select A, they'll immediately see the "File Browse" option. If the user places the file and clicks Finish, a series of tools in a container will be executed.
If they select B, they'll immediately see two "File Browse" options. If the user places both files and clicks Finish, a series of other tools in a container will be executed.
How can I implement this, especially since when they click on option A, there will be a different output than option B, and I do not want the output B to appear when they chooses A?

 

Thanks.

@rawan20201 I'd download this https://community.alteryx.com/t5/Community-Gallery/Input-Switch/ta-p/1144928 . This pretty much serves your requirement. Just drill into the macro and adjust as necessary. 

All the best,

Its pretty straight forward, your question has the answer you are looking for.

Use radio buttons to control the containers respectively ,radio button will turn on the container that radio button is related to, the other one automatically will turn off because of how radio buttons work in sync.

and since the other container is off, you will not see the output of that process.

I know it's a simple task. Although I tried to implement it, the output showed results for all options. Eventually, I discovered that the solution was to change the Update container to be 'Disabled' instead of 'Enabled' in Action tool.
