I´ve tried to understand how to specify an output by doing the interactice lesson "Specifying Inputs and Outputs" but after clicking Next in lesson,

Does anyone know either how to specify or how to see the next part of the lesson?

Hi @StefaninMalmo ,

 

Please find attached three possible solutions to this.

 

1. Uses the file browse interface tool to replace the entire file path

2. Uses the textbox interface tool to replace just the output file name

3. Changing the output tool configurations(file name/path) from data from within the workflow

 

Do let me know if this helps.

 

Best,

Well, in fact I don´t want the user of the App to select anything, but when I run the WF from server, no output is generated. When running the WF in Designer it generates output as wanted

@StefaninMalmo ,

 

In that case you can do one of the following:-

 

1. Have the output tool within a tool container.  Have it enabled while running on desktop so that you get the output. When you publish on the server, just disable that container so that no output is created.

 

2. Alternatively you can also use the interface tool to let the user choose whether they want the output or not. Depending on their choice, enable/dialable containers in real time. Please check this link:-

Hope this helps.

 

Best,

Ok, my misstake. In the first wf on the server the user should input some text, Account Name, Adress, City etc, and choose market type. Works fine. In WF 2, the user select customer group, and in WF 3 customer subgroup. Then this input get a visit frequency and a salesrep and then I want it to be sent to output in a .xlsx-file. But this I can´t get to work.
