POP-up Window

Are there any night owls out there that can help me with an issue?  I have a workflow that is due tomorrow. :-)  I am looking for a pop-up window that would ask questions and then populate the answers in a field. I think it may be the Text Box in the interface tools, but I don't know how to get it to ask multiple questions.  For example,

 

1. What is your date of birth?

2. Household Income?

3. Do you own your own home?

 

After the user puts in that information the workflow will run and the output will be

 

DOB      Income            Own

50          250,000.00       Yes

Checking first, that you realise to have an interface, the workflow needs to be an app, right?

 

That is indeed the text box that will provide that functionality and you will need one per question. That will then update either an expression in a formula tool or a Text Input or similar. Use the interface designer to put the questions in the correct order. 

 

There is an interactive lesson on inputting freeform text in the Analytic App training.

Thank you.  I was playing with it but I am still missing something.  It is not populating the fields.  I am going to keep looking at the video.  It was very helpful.  Thank you.

If you would like to see analytical app at work, click on View>Interface Designer
Then in the configuration window click on the cogwheel, fill in the data and click on Open Debug and then click on Run, now you could see what is happening with the data.

In that workflow, you are updating a Select Tool. You will need to either update the Text Input (Green book tool) with the data coming from the Text Boxes or update a formula tool that replaces those fields with the correct data.

 

Something like this:
