How can I automate the selection of name in a drop down list to run an Analytic App?

[mhowankau001]

I have created an Analytic App in which a person's name is manually selected from the drop down tool and this name is used to filter a database. I have some 50 names in the drop down list and I am trying to automate the process, whereby I can run the App for each name one by one automatically.

How can I do this?

Sounds like a perfect case for a batch macro. You would just need to have a list of all of your ‘person’s name’, which you then feed into the upside down question mark in order to change your control parameter. This will then run the macro for each value in that list.
