analytic app ran on server - is there a way to view a sample of records in a table ?

Hi,

I remember seeing records in a table on the server at some point or atleast a sample of records, but not sure where.

Is there a way to view  a table of records on the server of an analytic app?

Ie on the sever of a chained app, you click next and at the top of the next page you see:

col 1	col 2	col 3
data	data	data
data	data	data

That happens if you have a Sample Tool attached to your workflow and that you have a Browse Tool on the canvas + enabled on the Alteryx Interface Designer to view the Browse.

Once you run the Analytic App, you will see the sample via the Browse Tool. Is this what you are looking for?

@caltang  yes exactly! do you have a sample workflow?

[caltang]

Sure! Here you go.

So, you will notice that in the interface designer, you will need to tick "Browse":

So that after your selections, you'll see this:

Hope it helped!

@caltang  thx, but how does this look on the server? 

[caltang]

You will have to upload it to the Server to see. I do not have access to a Server at the moment.

But your interface tools that you put into your workflow will act as a GUI for your end users to interact with. So that when the task is done, you will need to configure for them to see the results on the server itself. 

Actually wait, after reading your query once again I think I misunderstood you. This is what you are looking for:

@caltang  yes this is it! trying it but unable to get it to work...  I dont know if the results can only be shown on the LAST page of an app or on any page.

Have you tried @Loic's method?

You will need 2 applications to get this going, this is known as a Chain App. Like so:

@caltang yes ive tried, i belive he is saying it can only be done on the last page of an app.

Instead of a Browse tool, use an Output Data tool and output as a .yxdb file. You can then view it on Server, even at different parts of a chained workflow - just make sure you specify this Output Data tool to show in the "Show Results to User" part of Interface Designer!
