Add Analytic App to Macro

[JennyRuns24]

Hello,

My macro is designed to transfer files from one folder to another. Is there a way for me to add an analytical application to this so that anyone can open and run it? Or any other option that would allow this? Thank you

Hey @JennyRuns24,

you can't make a Makro into an app, as there can't be any user Input for a macro. You can make a regular app and include the Macro in the Workflow of the app. 

But having an app instead of a macro won't change who is able to use your workflow.

Hi @JennyRuns24 

What do you mean when you say anyone open and run it?

You want to build an app interface, so they can select the source and the destination path?

Hello, 

I was wondering if anyone could run this macro without having Alteryx. Is that a possibility?

[JennyRuns24]

Hello,

Thank you for your reply. I wasn't looking to convert it, but to allow someone to run this without having Alteryx.

@JennyRuns24, do you have the product Alteryx Server?

If you have, yes you can. Without it, the user will need to have Alteryx installed.

Yes, I do have Alteryx Server. Do you know where I can find an example of the set-up?

Yes, I do have Alteryx Server. Do you know where I can find an example of something like this? Thanks again!

@JennyRuns24 take a look at the attached workflow, it is a analytic app that provides a interface so the user can select the source and the destination of files to move.

When you upload a app to Alteryx Gallery and share it with some user (with the required role), the user can execute the app through the Gallery interface.

If the provided answer helped you to solve the problem/was correct, please accept it as a solution :)

Thanks.
