I usually configure my input and output directory with a constant
For example:
%my_constant_path%/specific_standard_path/file_name.csv
%my_constant_path% is the constant I assign.
For each project, I am using like 10 of this standard workflow. Each project would use a different work directory, so I will have to assign a different value to this constant for each project.
However, I don't want to configure 10 times for 10 workflows for each project. I wonder if I can assign the same value as the constant to all the workflow at once. I am researching on whether I write a script (maybe a .bat file) to assign a value to %my_constant_path% for multiple workflows all at once. These will also potentially help me with another improvement I have in mind.
I will try to avoid turning all my workflows into apps because each workflow is quite complicated and will need a lot of work to convert any workflow into an app.
Solved! Go to Solution.
As far as I know, you can't set a user constant using workflow tools.
You could use chained apps: in the first workflow, save a value to a text file. Then in the 2nd workflow read the value in.
If you want to use a drop-down, see this post:
