General Input Folder Structure

[nickgomez610]

Hello,

I am currently creating transforming a quarterly process using Alteryx and I have some questions about updating the folder links for the inputs/outputs. I will be copying and moving my set of workflows to a new folder every quarter. (Ex: Folder strucuture for Q3, Q4, etc.). 

I was wondering if there was a way for me to put a general link in the input and output tools. Furthermore, since the folder structure will be identical for each quarter it could be something like this for the inputs: …/Inputs/Inputs.xlsx.

Please let me know if this is possible and if you need any further clarification on my issue!

Thanks,

Nick

Yes, that is certainly possible using relative paths.
