Hi,

 

I am asking from a user to select 5 input files with interface designer.

 

Now the condition is that,

The user can select either 4 or 5 or 1 or 2 it is totally dependent on the user.

 

But I am facing an error.

 

if i skip any of the file from the interface designer then it is throwing an error.

 

Please suggest me some workflow or some solution so that I can complete my task.

 

Thanks It will be a great help

Hi @vijaylnyadav 

 

If you connect your file browse tools to text input tools and union them together, filtering out nulls, you can pass the result to a dynamic input tool or a input data batch macro.

 

This means that if any of the File browse tools are not used by the user, they'll just be ignored.

 

Please let me know if you need any more help.

hi @DavidP 

Suppose the user inputs only in the first file browse and other are left as empty and then it clicks finish then it should validate and doesn't throw an error.

 

but I am getting an error

is there any option where i can customize the name of the header 

i.e. Analytics Designer x64 Analytic App

 

so that i can keep the name of my project.

Hi @vijaylnyadav 

 

With my example, as long as at least 1 of the file browse tools are populated by the user, it will work. You still have to add a dynamic input tool or a batch macro at the end to load the files from the list produced.

 

Let me know if you need help with that.

 

I don't know that you can change the App header.

@DavidP  but I am getting an error that FILE MUST BE SPECIFIED.

 

Does I am missing some setting ?

Hi @vijaylnyadav,

 

Can you attach your workflow, or a simplified replica of it?
