Hi Community,
I have a question please, I have to many times a day check stock levels in different sites to see if one site can support another's urgent demand. it may be one item or it could be many items, so I have Alteryx WF where i have the input mapped to out system back tables. but i keep having to open the table, then go into the the Visual Query Builder and replace the item i want to check, then close the tables and run the WF
My question is is there a way to enter a item # or list of items into a text box in the WF and for the WF to run on this criteria?.
So I could enter the item / Items directly into the WF without the need to keep opening / closing the back tables?
Pictures of my poor attempt to do this, and how I do it normally
Any help greatly appreciated
TIA,
Karl.

Hi @Karl_Spratt
Configure the action tool to only replace the key which you want to change
Key you might want to change
Hope this helps : )
Try the in-DB tools. There isn't much documentation for in-DB tools; you'll need to search the community forum.
You could convert the workflow to an app, with an input parameter that feeds into an in-DB tool.

Hi atcodedog05,
When I open the action box, mine doesn't look like your screen shot, I have removed the Item criteria 47664182001 from the back tables but I don't see where I can enter a new Item number in the Action box and get the WF to use this to only run the query for this item, See below.
Regards,
Karl.
Hi @Karl_Spratt
Click on plus you see the query in that give it to replace the id 47664182001
Hope this helps : )
Hi atcodedog05
When I expand that + I see this, I tried to hit the replace, the new item # 23390156 with and with ' ' and the WF is still bring back the Item # checked in the back table query.
Hi @Karl_Spratt
You need to specify same value in the below also. Its the value to be replaced so it will be 47664182001 without quotes
Hope this helps : )
Sorry Man I still can't get this to replace the old Item 47664182001 with the new Item 23390156
When I run it it still shows the old item
Sorry I can't see where it pulls item 23390156 into the WF.
