Multiple Independent Flows same Interface

Henrytabares

Dear Community, 

I am working on an interface in which I want to have multiple tabs that represents independent flows. 

For example: 

Tab 1: process data analysis of File "a"

Tab 2: process data analysis of File "b"

 

I already reviewed the "chaining app" but this is not the case, I just need to have within the same interface, independent "data anlytics" tabs. 

 

Hope I was clear. 

 

Thank you!!

this is usually some combination of filebrowse/folder browse and batch macro. can you be more clear what you want for input/output options? is there a static number of files you will process?

Hello Apapthetichell, 

Thanks for your response here. 

Correct, I set up a file browse tool, the then I run a macro (flow). 

The input/output file for each Tab will have always the same structure and there's a static number of files will be processed per tab (always the same reports)

For example: 

 

Tab 1: input file A output file A'

 

Tab 2: input file B output file B'

 

Please let me know if I was clear. 

 

Thank you!

Yup - your issue isn't on creating input a/output a - it's getting it so that you can have a/b/c/d...n without n file browse tools?

 

Does a folderbrowse tool into a director tool work? then your file browse becomes a control parameter for a batch macro. you may need to have a nested macro. (macro 1 inputs filename from folder, macro 2 is process macro).

Thanks for your reply, let me try to use a director tool and nested macros...and I go back to you if this was the solution. Thank you!!!
