Issue configuring the render tool

Alteryx_1505

I'm writing a workflow that is taking 3 individual pdfs files and combining them into 1 individual pdf file that will contain a Wire, Invoice and Concur sheet. The files I'm combining follow this naming convention XXXX WIRE, XXXX Invoice and XXXX Concur. The XXXX represents an individual property. I have multiple properties I need to combine. I'm having an issue configuring the render tool. For output mode I'm selecting temporary pdf. I can not select group by data or group by field. I also can't add an output file name. Am I missing a tool between the layout and render tool? 

 

Note: I've written this with the help of AI as I have only basic knowledge of AYX

@Alteryx_1505 Here is a link to the render tool settings. You don’t get the option to select file name or group by data unless you select Choose a specific output file. That will give you the options you need.

@abacon Thank you for the response. I believe part of my issue is that Choose a specific output file is greyed out and I'm unable to select it.

@Alteryx_1505 , as @abacon indicated you need to select it from the output mode
