Hello,
I am seeking a solution how to send the HTML output from the Visual Layout tool, to an external drive/folder that is dynamically assigned.
Context is , an external User Interface, API-calls the Alteryx workflow, which passes input data and the input folder location, where the HTML output is to be saved.
I have tried the Output-data and the Render tool, but I don't believe either can accept the file location dynamically.
And the Output-Data does not seem to render the html properly.
Can anyone pls advise ?
I am using Alteryx Designer 2018.4.3
Solved! Go to Solution.
Hi @paullimCH
I would first generate the HTML with the Render tool and save it temporary.
The next work can take this temporary file and dynamically save it in the final output folder:
Does this work for you?
Best regards
Phil
Many thanks Philipp for the quick response. And the shared links.
The following post also helped.
In the end , the trick was to use the Render Tool, 'Field to Group On: ' where I used the Field containing the reference to the dynamic folder, which I constructed using the Formula tool.
Specifically the HTML output from the Visual Layout tool , was appended with the Output (Dynamic folder) from the Formula tool, using (Append Fields tool). And connected to the Render tool, where I used the Field to Group on.
Thank you for your suggestions. It was very helpful.
Best regards
Paul
