Invalid Directory Error when Saving to Server

Ryan_Myers

I created a workflow for others to use on the our Alteryx Server.  The workflow uses a Folder browse tool that will enable users to select their own folder for the workflow to run against (on their harddrive).  Currently it is pointed at my PCs harddrive.  When i go to load the workflow to the server i am getting an Invalid Directory error.  I have taken this approach several times when using File browse tools and have never encountered this same issue.

Hi @Ryan_Myers 

 

The folder browser is not supported within the gallery.

 

See the help page:

Wow, i guess i didn't realize that.  What is a way to design a workflow that would have a similar effect of processing multiple files without using a Folder Browse tool?

Hi @Ryan_Myers 

 

I'm assuming for this, you can just use the Text Box (user inputs the path) or maybe even the file browser (WF cleans up to get only the directory)
