Build a custom tool with mutilple screens/layers

Hi everyone,

I'm building a custom tool using python SDK for Alteryx Designer.

My idea is to have 2 screens/layers in my tool, the first screen is for users input their username and password, and the 2nd screen is for listing items that users can select.

I've created the HTML for the tool, but now I don't know how to run the tool inside a workflow.

How can the user select the item on the 2nd screen? And how can I pass the username/password into the 1st screen?

I think the Salesforce Input tool is similar to what I'm working on but I'm not sure how they create that tool.

 

Thanks for reading

This is a great guide that walks you through the beginning steps of leveraging the Python SDK: https://community.alteryx.com/t5/Data-Science/Levelling-Up-A-Beginner-s-Guide-to-the-Python-SDK-in-A...

 

And another walk through of a simple tool build: https://community.alteryx.com/t5/Data-Science/Text-Analysis-in-Alteryx-with-the-Python-SDK-Gender/ba...

 

Hopefully these help and you can model your tool off of the examples!
