Quick navigation of large number of list box items

[bryanbumgardner]

Hello,

I'm making a macro that filters using list box selections.

Problem is, there's several thousand selections. I currently have them listed in alphabetical order but there's not really a quick way to parse through these selections faster.

Is there a better way to organize my list box items to make it faster for users to find the options they want? I thought that typing a letter or name would automatically snap the tool down the list but it does not.

thanks!

Hi @bryanbumgardner

The typing on a name value would be available through using the new html SDK kits where you can build that type of front end for your tool (if you are building a macro)

Another option with the default options would be a tree which could narrow down the amount of scrolling your end user has to do. You can find an example in the Alteryx designer under help>>sample workflows>>scripting and automation tools>>build an app>>tree interface.
