Text Box tool configuration to run the flow for that Field

VictoriaBudak

Hello All! Thank you for looking into this. 

I need a user to enter an Incident Number into the interface tool (Text Box) and for the workflow to find that Incident Number in the Input File (from Column [Number]) and run the rest of the flow for that particular Incident Number (the same row). Hope this makes sense. I cannot configure the Action and Formula/Filter tool correctly. 

If someone could configure this correctly please I will be very grateful.

You haven't set up your Action tool to replace the placeholder value you have with the Text Box value!

Hi Alex, it might sounds silly, but how do I do that? I tried to use formula tool with

[Incident]=""

but it didn't work, obviously I don't know what Incident Number the user is going to input into the Text Box, but I want the flow to filter by it.

In your Action Tool configuration,

1. Select an action type: Select Update Value (default) in the drop-down
2. Value or Attribute to Update: Expand the tree and Select Operand

 

Hope this helps!

@VictoriaBudak I think the screenshot is pretty clear! @jmgross72 expanded on it pretty well too

Thank you both, it worked! I wasn't sure if my Filter tool was configured correctly, but it was. Thank you again.
