Work around with Text Box Tool.

Can someone here talk about Text Box Tool in Alteryx please?

Let me explain my scenario. Let's say my workflow has a render tool which generates an output excel. The name of the excel is dynamic.

Whatever name user types in the Text Box Tool  while running in the gallery, that name will get added up to the final output excel.

If I write Krishna in the Text Box, output file name would be 'Krishna Output Report.xlsx'. Fortunately it's working. But I need to stop the workflow execution if user don't give any value to the text box. If possible give a warning message "please give a value to proceed", More like text field validation in HTML.

Is this possible?

 

Thanks,

Krishna

@KrishnaChithrathil Have you tried adding a Default Text?

Thanks for the reply @trsali.

But unfortunately we cannot go with that.
