Hey everyone, I am still new to Alteryx and Alteryx Apps, so I might be doing this wrong or misunderstanding how to chain apps together.
Firstly, if an app is running in the Gallery, and two users run it at the same time, are the files that Alteryx writes unique to the user/session that is running or does the App/Workflow need to account for it by pre-pending/appending something unique or is there a way to write/pass temporary files to be accessed by the subsequent apps?
Background:
I am trying to create an app for doing Software Inventory based on input from one of our internal tools that is located in a SQL database.
The filter used to show data to users is on the disposition of the software being set as "Research Required". Therefore, User3, User4, and User7 are ones that should show data in the list boxes, but the remaining users should not.
I cleansed some input data and saved it as an XLSX. You will need to update the paths/locations that the data is saved to as these are configured to store to a network fileshare.
When you upload the first app in the chain to the Gallery, you have the ability to "manage assets" first (in the lower part of the popup window). Whatever asset you check will be sent to the Gallery with the app. What this does is tell Alteryx that they are assets for which you want each user for each run to create 'on the fly' just for them, just for that instance. So if the result of your chain is output 1, then each user will get their own temp space when the app runs and output 1 will be just for them for just that run.
