Is it possible to automatically create one of the IDs with specific information?

j'ai aussi d'autres questions es que c'est possible de faire des faire une liste a cocher de façon que si l'utilisateur coche plusieur case que cela fasse une croix dans la colonne cible
if the user ticks one or more boxes, the crosses are automatically placed in the target column.
Thank you for your help. Attached is the file I started.

there is a data entry tool with the entities and their id so that you can create custom ids from that and a data entry tool for the sensitie indexes

@Raj , these are analytic apps. If you download and open with Alteryx or drag them onto the canvas, you can see it.

 

@TFrankD237 I'm not sure I understand your question, but I think you're on the right track. You will need to make the output go to a data source that can be used for the future input. The way the workflow is now, it updates a browse tool and shows it on screen, but on the next run, you are using the same text input so it will not have the changes/additions. Because you will likely be updating and reading the same source, you will need to use a block until done or control containers to prevent the file from being written to and read at the same time.

I'm sorry, but I don't quite understand what you mean.
for the backup I'm going to make the output file my input file so that I can modify the other products I've entered
but i like to create ID automatically from the information in entity
I am a beginner if you can show me an example

I understand these are analytical apps, but due to the latest version used, I was unable to open them. Thank you for your input

@TFrankD237 I didn't understand what you were looking for here. You would just need to add more action tools and user input. I added to this for the creation with the same type of input already being used, but you could use radio buttons, etc. instead. You would need these to feed into the other two options, but it can feed from that same action tool. (You won't need to ask separately for each option.

I would like this x to be set automatically?

and how do I create an automatic id?

If you want the 'x' there automatically, just add it to the input template you have with the 'x" already set or default the action tool to be 'x' so that it needs changed by the user if it is not to be 'x'.

 

An automatic ID would depend on your criteria. If you want the system to generate a sequential number (i.e. A1, A2, A3...) then you could set a recordID to be concatenated with the letter and automatically add when creating new items. You would want to remove the action from the user though on the creation so they can't create random IDs. You would need to use a recordID tool then a formula tool.
