Pause Writing to Output File Until Okayed

[jenniferallen]

Hello,

I have a bunch of statements I'm trying to organize into the same format and will be adding new each month. For the workflow, I have summarized the data to check two things: that all of the lookups are included and that the statement total is correct. Once those two items are verified I want it to write to the output file. However, if those items are not verified, it does not return an error per se, so I can't see how I can use the block until done tool. The only thing I can think of is to delete the connection to the output file until I can verify the data, and then reconnect. I'm hoping there's a better way, though where I can manually direct the workflow to write to the output file once I've verified everything? (also any comments on the workflow itself are welcome, I'm new and still learning some basics). Thank you!!

I would put your output data tool into a tool container, then you can enable and disable the container as you need!

I'd use a radio button to enable or disable an output container - in a chained app. App 1 would output the workflow results to approver. App 2 would have the toggle to create the output file.
