Macro's Interface Questions not appearing in App

[owenkosnen]

Hi all,

It seems I cannot find answer after browsing for quite some time so I decided to open a thread for this issue. So basically, I built a Macro with Interface questions, saved it as Macro, and insert the macro to another App workflow. When I run the App, the interface questions inside the macro is not being prompted.

I need those interface questions inside the macro. Is there any workaround for this?

Thanks in advance.

That way you are doing it won't work. The App interface tools need to be on the most outer app not only inside the macro. What you can do is to have the interface tools map directly to the macro. Does this make sense?

Hi @joshuaburkhow , Thanks for replying!

Now it makes sense why those questions are not in the App..

Great to help! Apps are so powerful and don't think most users understand how powerful they truly are! They are the pathway to fully automating a task or workflow!

Hi together,

@joshuaburkhow I am still struggling a bit on how to implement your suggestion. Do you have an example to follow? 

If it is covered in this pathway, would you be so kind and share it here? I cannot find it in my available pathways.

Thanks a lot 🙂

@MTR I too struggled with Interface tools inside a Macro that were not showing options in the Main Workflow when run as an App.  I created 2 Analytical App workflows with embedded Macros.  The 'working' version has the Interface tools in the 'main' workflow (not the macro).  The 'non working' version has the Interface tools in the macro, and shows This Analytic App requires no configuration when Main workflow is run as an App.  Please let me know if this meets your needs!
