Select Different Data Input for Same Workflow

Skapoor1

Hi Everyone 

 

I have come across a problem where i want to use the same WF for different data inputs. Further explaining, I am using a Data Input tool(Data of one entity) but i want the user to be able to switch to different Input (Data of other entity) depending upon the user selection , such that when user decided to run the wf with data input 1 , the output is produced for data input 1(as a different data output), but when user wants to run the wf with data input 2 the output is produced with data input 2. The format for both the inputs is same but i would want the output to be produced separately.

 

Any guidance would be appreciated.

Hi @Skapoor1,

 

The user will have access to alteryx server/alteryx license?

 

If yes you can refer to this topic to find some inspiration:

It's similar to what i have been trying to achieve but My excel inputs exist as two separate files . The user has access to license.

Hi @Skapoor1,


I think this should work for you. Take this workflow:

And update the positions highlighted on the screen below. You can also name them as you wish
