Looping Analytic App UI

Delbert

Hi, I am working on a workflow that will process expenses based on the user's selection from the List Box tool using the Analytic App. 

 
The issue that I'm struggling with is that Alteryx does not allow me to loop the Analytic App for teachers to correct expenses spent for multiple classes.

For example, for Class A, I would like to select 2 adjustments, "Meals Expenses" and "Travelling Expenses". For Class B, I would like to select 3 adjustments:  "Meals Expenses", "Travelling Expenses" and "Admin Fees". However, the workflow does not allow me to return to the UI to do so. 
 
Therefore, I would like to ask if there is a solution to loop the Analytic App in order for users to select the adjustments for each Class.

Hi @Delbert 

 

The runtime config of all UI tools is determined only once at the start of the workflow. There's currently is no way to have a dynamic or looping app. 

 

There's a couple of workarounds you can use.

1. If the class list is fixed, you can create a set of UI tools for each class.  You can the put each class's UI tools on separate tabs in the UI

2. use a different input scheme.  Have the users fill out a excel spreadsheet with one tab per class and use this as the input as opposed to an Alteryx UI

Hi @Delbert 

 

If you are looking for self looping Analytics App UI(i,e self chaining the app) that is possible.

 

In the interface designer browse and set the same app to On success - Run another app this will run the app repeatedly until you close. My main app is text app and i am chaining itself
