How to get the more filter and input file dynamic.

Hello Team,

 

I have a requirement wherein the same logic built-in is used for different department and different countries as well.

 

What I am doing now.

1. Opening the workflow.

2. Configuring input file data source for all the tool.

3. changing the filter tool in multiple places in WF (based on countries).

4. running the workflow for output.

 

NOTE --> Same changes I am doing it for respective countries which is very hectic as I have more than 50+ countries to be taken care of.

 

What I want now.

 

1. All the input file configuration would be dynamic.

2. All the filter for respective countries should be dynamic.

3. Based on the countries (given in filter tool), output file generated by WF should be dynamic based on Country/Country code value so that business would find that output file unique for respective countries WF runs.

 

 

Thanks

AJAY

Look at making  a file browse and action to turn it into an app/macro, and for the filters, use text input/drop-down (if it is pre defined/you can make a chained app if it is more dynamic)

As I am quite new to this tool, would be great if you can send me a dummy WF with the technique you suggested so that it would be easy for me to move forward.

 

will wait for your response, Thanks in advance.
