Creating a chained analytic app or use of radio buttons to select which files to run?

[carl-meyer]

Okay so i have 7 different containers all asking for seperate files and outputting 7 different outputs, however I'd like it to run any possible combination of the 7, maybe just 1, or 1 and 2, or maybe all 7. However to proceed its making input all 7. Is there a way i can do a check box or something to choose the combination of the 7 I want and then only input the files I need from there? Or would I need to do a chained analytic app which help would definitely be appreciated either way. This is an example of what the 7 containers look like.

Here's my approach

1. Avoid chained app complexity when you can

2. Put separate file processes into 7 tool containers in a macro

3. In the app, have 7 checkboxes, one for each file process

4. The macro will have interface tools to disable tool containers handling unchecked processes
