Chose which input file to run based on App selection

vrbravo

Hi,

 

I have the following workflow and i would like to choose in app which input to run based on selection. Can this be done ?

 

I know that we can provide / set parameters in analytical app but not sure of input file itself can be picked based on user selection

 

 

Primary file1 

 

Primary file2

 

Primary file3

 

 

Secondary file 

 

I want to choose in analytical app whichever "Primary file" to join with secondary file and produce an output. How would i be able to achieve this ?

 

TIA for the assistance.

Hello @vrbravo ,

 

You could use the tree map interface tool for the selection. This helps you decide which file to use.

 

Another solution would be using the file browse tool.

 

There are many ways also using file parameters to ensure the correct file is selected or at least a file with the correct name or date specifications depending on your needs.

 

If you have something in mind I may be able to perform it 🙂

 

Regards
