Create a GUI to run multiple containers

[okka]

Hello, i'm quite a newbie in Alteryx.

I have a workflow with 5 steps (each step is in a container).

The whole workflow has to run in the order step1, step2, step3, step4 and step5.

However I'd like my client to see the progress and/or being able to run step1 only first. Then clicking another button that will run step2 and so on..

Is this feasible? I was wondering if it was feasible to do this as i don't want to read and write files in each step (which would take a bit of time), but want to use the tables in memory.

Thanks!

Hi @okka,

What you are trying to do can be done with chained apps.  It will still require data to be saved locally after each step, but it can be saved in an Alteryx database, which is small.  The user can be displayed results after each app (step) and decide to run the next app (completing the next step) or cancel the run.  This is a more complex setup for a new user, but I have attached 2 workflows (one file) where the next app runs upon completion of the first.
