Updating data in Browse tool every run

[Masaru_Hirose]

Hi, I'm seeing data in Browse tool with floating windows. The data is updated with every run, but the data is not updated in the Browse tool windows.

Do you have any solution to update data in the floating Browse tool?

Thank you.

What happens if you dock the Browse Tool?

And try to delete and replace the Browse Tool?

I can not replicate the issue at my end.

Thank you for your reply.

What I want to do is... 

1. Run WF (first run) and open Browse tool window.  

2. Update data in text input and run (second run).

3. After run, the data in Browse tool window is not updated.

4. Is there any solution to update data in Browse tool window after second run without re-opening Browse tool window?

Hi @Masaru_Hirose 

When you look at the results of a browse tool in a new window, Alteryx takes a snapshot of the current results and displays the snapshot.  You'll notice that the new window doesn't allow you to view metadata, only data.  Since it's a snapshot, there's no way to have the window dynamically update.

The closest you can get is to undock your results window, but then it still displays the results of of the currently selected  tool and not the results of a particular Browse tool.

Thank you @danilang for your reply.

I understood Browse tool shows a snapshot of the data and doesn't update the data dynamically.
