Please describe how this data are (will be) used in the workflow, which part of workflow or which tool will be updated (by Text Box + Action tools) as this is crucial for development.

In example, You are selecting Criteria 1 (5 values provided by user), of course Criteria 2, 3, 4... will be ignored, but how it will be ignored it depends on how Text inputs should impact to your solution. It can by by disabling/enabling containers. So if you select Criteria 1 it means workflow inside container "1" will be enabled and all other containers will be closed (disabled). This is what you want to achieve?

@Sebastian_Chaieb2 Thanks a lot for your detailed reply kindly check my below comments

You are selecting Criteria 1 (5 values provided by user), of course Criteria 2, 3, 4... will be ignored--> Yes, we will give option to enter only 5 text input valu(text1,text2 and text3)

but how it will be ignored it depends on how Text inputs should impact to your solution-->Based on criteria we only required limited text inputs(text1,text2,text3,text4 and text5)

It can by by disabling/enabling containers-->Yes, for criteria1 container i have to enable, other containers i need to disable.

So if you select Criteria 1 it means workflow inside container "1" will be enabled and all other containers will be closed (disabled)-->Exactly correct

This is what you want to achieve? Yes that is what i need to build

Hi @NiranjanK1 

I'm attaching workflow (App) with ready solution for two criteria. Let me explain how it works:

 

The first top GREEN container contains "Radio button" responsible for CRITERIA 1 selection , 5 nested "Text boxes" and "Condition" tool that will enable only Green container with workflow (and execute when running as app).

So, using "Radio button" and "Condition" tool will enable/disable containers. How it works? Only one Radio button can be selected at the same time, in example if you select Criteria 1 (Green) , Criteria 2 (BLUE) will be deselected (value FALSE) and this value through Condition tool will Disable Blue container with different workflow logic. 

Replicating (copy and past) you cand design many containers but only one will be always active in the APP (in workflow when you run it you have to manually disable enable for testing).

It that solution works, please tag this message as SOLVED.

Thanks,

Sebastian

@Sebastian_Chaieb2 Amazing it is working as expected now i can build same logic for many criteria's,

I have build same logic without Condition tool, I got "Disabled containers may not contain interface tools" this error

kindly help me to understand why i got this error what is the use of Condition tool

You can close above thread with same answer 

Many Many Thanks @Sebastian_Chaieb2

Take a look into my solution, All interface tools (radio button, Text boxes, conditions and actions) are it top containers and this containers are always enabled (I put them to container and colored to visualize which text boxes and selections impacting on which part of workflow). So if there are any values it is fine, as it will goes to lower containers to Standard tools and those below containers should be enabled\disabled depending on selection made. 

Check that in lower containers you will not find any Interface tools.

kindly help me to understand why i got this error what is the use of Condition tool --> Radio Button will give you two values only, TRUE when is selected and 'FALSE' when is deselected. Condition tool is expecting those two values (or statement that will give you TRUE or FALSE). Than you have two anchors out from Condition T and F. Simply here you can decide what to do when Radio button is selected (VALUE = TRUE). In our case T is connected with Action and Action with Container below saying Enable container. Second anchor from Condition F is connected with second Action and this second action with the same container but this time Action is set up to "Disable". 

In simple words, selecting radio button means disable or enable container

Hope that explanation is clear and sufficient :) 

Best regards,

Sebastian
