Using interface tools to select which workflow to run

[Jes]

I develop Alteryx workflows that will be run by my colleagues on their end. Given that we do not have Alteryx server, manual trigger is required to run workflows.

In the current state, I have multiple Alteryx workflow tabs open and trigger each work flow individually when required.

I'd like to simplify the running portion for my colleagues and would like to:

1. Create a drop down list or a radio button interface that lists the different workflows available to be run

2. Based on the user input, run a specific workflow.

To do this, I've made sure each workflow is a macro (so that the underlying tools can't be manipulated) & manually listed out the different workflows that can be run so that the user can select which one to run.

I am having a hard time connecting the user input to trigger specific workflows in question. I was thinking of putting a container around each macro (as seen below) and de-activate containers as required if the user input does not match a specific value.

Any suggestions on how I can configure the 'Update Value' tool to identify which specific workflow/container to run? 

Each workflow is independent of each other and do not need to be chained.

Hello @Jes 

Can you please include a copy of your workflow so that the Community can see what you have done so far?
This will help with reviewing your action tools and their current settings.

Thanks!

You can possible think about creating a shell 'runner' workflow to achieve this.

1. Create a Shell Workflow which uses the Crew Macro Runner tool to execute other alteryx workflows. The name of the workflow to be executed can be changed dynamically, depending on what the user has selected in a configured drop down interface element.

2. The workflows themselves are made available to the shell workflow within the same package, by making use of relative paths.

Do let me know if this helps.

Best,
