Hi @NiranjanK1 

If you want to enter values by user as a free text you can use "Text Box" with Multiline option (or not, then you have to split values with coma or other delimiter)

 

In attached example I am using Multiline option to provide as many values as I need and "Filter" data unis Join (it can be design in different way with filter tool as well).

I hope that this is what you expected :)

However if you need to provide data (by user) from a file then you should use "File Brows" tool or "Folder Brows" tool to take all files from a specific location (Dynamic input). 

 

Thank,

Sebastian

Hi, so in total it gives 10 values to be updated right? Did you consider to use 10 Text boxes? 

This values are predefined? so you can select them from the drop down list? 

And finally, do you have an example of data and how this input should impact on the workflow? (formula, filters?)

@Sebastian_Chaieb2 Thanks for your reply, Here i have a issue, I have to give options to users to take different input details for 24 criteria's 

1. when user selected 1st radio button - I have to take input from user for 1st criteria - Text interface input tool

2. when user selected 2nd radio button - i have to take different input details from user for 2nd criteria - same text input interface tool

 

when changing the criteria i cannot disable/enable interface tools based on 24 criteria, now how can i fix the issue to take different details.

 

Kindly suggest me

I guess everything is possible, the UI interface you can design to display TextBox only for selected Radio Button so it means when user switch to other option, then other text box will be taken into account.

Now the question is how this manually provided value should impact into the workflow?

Different process depending on user selection? Filter on different filters? like Criteria 1 means filter by Region, Criteria 2 - Filter by ID, Criteria 3 - By name, and so on...? Unfortunately I do non see the input structure and workflow design so it is hard to suggest solution.

 

Thanks,

Sebastian

@Sebastian_Chaieb2 thank you for the details,

 

criteria1- I have to take only 5 text input details from user.

criteria2 - I have to take 10 text input details from user.

 

Here I have to build logic based on criteria I have give option to enter only required details. 

I have built the logic but I’m not able disable/enable interface tools based on criteria selection. You mentioned that it is possible kindly suggest me.

If you want to design Radio button with nested text Boxes you have to open "Interface Designer" view and move text box up or down to nest it below Radio button :

This will allow you to disable all Text boxes that belongs to other criteria. In example, Criteria 1 will have nested 5 Test Boxes while Criteria 2 will contains 10 Text boxes (in below example only 2). And those Text boxes will be visible (enabled) when desired Radio Button (Criteria) is selected

Another part is to take that values and use in workflow but again it is hard to advice when I do not see how your workflows looks like and how it should impact the data (filter, formula, joins, etc)

@Sebastian_Chaieb2 kindly help me with same data how we can do enable and disable. Based on criteria selection. If selection is working I will apply logic in my workflow. Kindly help me with same workflow I will try to follow same procedure to build for 24 criteria’s. Thanks in advance
