Configuring an Optional Input

Cfdiaz2103

Hey Everyone!

 

I'd like to know if it's possible to configure an Optional Input for the user if it's really needed. The thing is that this optional input would be joined, and then united, to a Mandatory Input, in order to consolidate the data. 

 

Hope you can help me out.

 

Thank you.

Hi @Cfdiaz2103 ,

 

One way of implementing optional input is by the concept of macros. Macro inputs can be made optional.

 

Within the workflow logic itself, you will then have to build logic to introduce sample rows in case the optional input was not used. This would ensure your joins work regardless of whether there was an input or not.

 

Hope this helps.

 

Best,

Jagdeesh

Hi @JagdeeshN!

 

I think it could be solved by a macro.

 

Let me try to configure it.

 

 

Thank you!
