Trying to create my own Log sheet for analytic purposes.

Hey there! I want to create a log where the user has to put in their ID before running the workflow.

My challenge is that I am not able to capture the right workflow name onto it.

 

I am using "Update Value with Formula" in the Action tool for the radio button (workflow name) but I can't seem to get the name for the workflow that I have chosen.

Any suggestions?

It's going to be hard to answer this without more information and more screen grabs - we need your action tools configs and we need to know what you are trying to place the value in... Are the lower radio buttons turning on and off workflows?

Apologies!

 

Basically I am trying to replace update the information itno the Text Input tool by replacing the placeholders with the value when the ID and workflow has been chosen.

For the "Text Box" and action configuration, I am updating the cell with the USER ID input.

As for the "Radio Button", my "Action" is configured as "Update Value with Formula" as shown below. 

My formula is IF [Destination]="placeholder2" then "T&S Customer Data Validation" else "placeholder2" endif

Basically I am trying to replace placeholder2 with the selected workflow name. My issue however is that when I select other workflows, the previous workflow name still gets selected.

hmmm - so your text input should be fairly straight forward see the attached screengrabs for information... Your radio button workflow selectors seem a bit off but it's hard to describe how to fix them without more of the workflow to work on..

 I've never used [destination] like that - and honestly,  I'm not really sure how to use it. I'd use a detour or some other methodology (ie macro call) to select which workflow to run.
