Stop Input if no data is present

[AustinRiggs94]

Hey All,

I am developing a workflow that will be used by multiple teams. Some of these teams might have 1 input while others might have up to 5. Currently the workflow is setup with 5 inputs that are unioned. Is there anyway to stop an input from continuing if no data is present? Trying to make this as universal and malleable as i can, thanks.

Hi @AustinRiggs94,

Is the data in the same format? You might want to create a batch macro to input the data (or even use the directory input).

The other option is to error the workflow if the input is empty.

Best,

Yalmar

There is sure an easier way to configure this.

But here comes my solution

Yes all same format, i didn't even think about creating a batch macro? I am assuming it would still work even though amount of inputs will change?

@AustinRiggs94 The directory imput could even be better, and quicker as well. Is all data in the same folder?

More than likely will be missing (if they remember to delete the other inputs within their file). Other teams will be uploading their own input (same format as everyone else, just different data). The teams input can range from 1-5 inputs.

Normally I'd advise you to use the directory input to get the paths to all files that have to be input into the workflow.

These can be input afterwards using the dynamic input tool. 

Please contact me for further information.
