How to select a file from drop folder

glombard
7 - Meteor

I have a report created that looks at what it is the last CSV file dropped on the folder.

 

Now the user wants a parameter like a list of values of the files dropped on the folder, select one and run the report based on the selected file.

 

Could you please help me with this request?

 

Regards,

Gilberto

Could you use the File Browse tool from the Interface Tool Palette? Gives you a dropdown of the filetypes specified from the folder specified.

Hi Philip,

 

Thank you for your quick response.

 

I tried to use the File Browse tool but it did not work.

 

Please find attached the file with the workflow. I'm able to select the file and the spreadsheet but there is not output.

 

I appreciate your help and advice on this.

 

Regards,

Gilberto

Depending on what output you want (Browse, Output Data, Render) you can have it checked in the Interface Designer (Ctrl+Alt+D). See screenshot.

This should then show it after running as an app.
