Drop Down Selection

Gbergero
7 - Meteor

I am having trouble getting the drop down selection to work after reviewing training and previous community questions. 

 

I would like to have the user select an AR group and the app to display the data just for the AR Group selected.  I have attached my workflow and test data.  Currently when trying to select an AR group I am getting the column headers instead of the AR group data.

 

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hi @Gbergero ,

 

The way you have built it, the drop-down automatically identifies all the columns, to work with only one column, you can insert a cross-tab.

 

Example attached.

Thank you Fernando, I'll give that a try....I was unable to open your example.

Hi @Gbergero ,

 

You can select yes and still open the workflow.

But if you still can't, here is a print with what I've done.

I think I am getting closer, but still not getting data.

Hi @Gbergero ,

 

Unfortunately, special characters is not supported while doing a cross-tab, so we need a workaround for those.

Here it is.

Removing the special characters did not help.

Try this one.

 

Fixed action tool. Changed the filter to make the dropdown value compatible with the original. Included a browse with false anchor for troubleshooting.

Hi @Gbergero ,

 

I've shared a solution with you that is currently working.

 

Here it is again, I've adapted so you can open in your designer
