Update Unique Tool Via Action Tool

Question

I am creating a gallery app that will allow users to filter a large data set down to data they need and then download that data.  Because I am allowing the users to select the fields they want in the dataset they download, there will most-likely be duplicate rows.  How can I update the Unique to Select All of the fields that are passed into it from an upstream Select tool?

Hi @fimler

Here is how you can do it.

1. I am using list box on select tool mode to select fields.

2. I am using the list box selection to pass it to unique tool. In action tool for unique tool i am configuring as below.

action type is Update Field List and update is Unique Fields

Output: Case 1

Output: Case 2

Test around with this approach and let me know

Hope this helps 🙂

This is exactly how I had it configured but I had forgotten to check the “Select All” checkbox (ughhh). Thank you for your reply. It at least confirmed that I had it configured correctly.
