How to build app to allow user to select which file to bring into Workflow

Hi all,

If I have a network drive with multiple files (one per quarter), how do I build an app to allow the user to pick up only the file of the quarter they need as an Input into the workflow?  I think I have to use a combination of Directory tool, Dynamic Input, and Formula and have columns for the Begin Month, End Month, Quarter and Year so I can build apps on top of them but I can't quite figure out the sequence of the tools and how exactly to do this.  If someone can show me an example workflow, it would be greatly appreciated.  Thanks!

Hi @ELPC , You can achieve this by using file browse tool from interface tool section. Please find the below workflow to get your desired result.

OMG, that was sooo easy!  I thought it was going to be much much harder.  Thank you.
