Embed a file through Interface Designer Link

Hi,

 

I want to embed a template file before the user runs the app on Alteryx Server. However I do not have access to the Alteryx Server machine. Is there a way to embed the file so the user clicks a link and downloads the file?

I am unable to add the file as an asset through Manage workflow assets.

@anishgrandhi I would just have 2 workflows. 1st workflow will output the template file and the second workflow will output the dataset.

 

You can also put the template file on the fileshare or a network drive where the user can access as well. Obviously, you have to give the server to the same fileshare/network drive as well.

Yep. I put a link that takes the user to SharePoint where there's template file and instructions with screenshots. 

 

Thank you.
