Disabling multiple tool containers simultaneously

Hello all,
I have just started using Alteryx and I was wondering if there is any way to disable multiple tool containers simultaneously. 

Thank you,
Alex

Hi @akosc1  

I can't think of anything other than placing them all in a parent container and disabling that.

If you're just talking about working with them as a way to control your workflows (i.e. keeping a bunch of processes in the same workflow, just separating them out into tool containers that you enable/disable depending on what you need) then it's going to be manually.  If you're talking about doing this inside of a macro, then it's just a matter of hooking them up to an interface control or Control input.  Here's an example where both tool containers will be enabled and disabled by the same checkbox tool:

If you are storing a bunch of different process steps in separate tool containers, then wrapping that workflow in a macro would give you a way to control it just by checking checkboxes.
