How to capture App values/Wizard values?

Hi All,

 

Is it possible to capture user selection values from the app interface and write it to a file. Information which file selected and which field is tagged, etc.. When we test the app from Interface designer and run the debug workflow, these things will be auto populated in a comment tool (attached the screen shot).

 

Please help!

Well you can write the information the user has selected using tools like "Field info" and appen it to an excel or csv file, depending on your workflow there are many ways.

 

Would recommend you to check that tool.

Hi,

 

It looks like your File Browse is a tool named File Browse (306).  If you set up a Text Input tool with the following text in the cell:

%Question.File Browse (306)%

It should be replaced automatically at runtime with the appropriate value.  You can then output this to any location you want.

 

The other advantage to this is that if the process is run as a workflow instead of an app, these values will automatically populate as NULL values, so you can easily filter them out or ignore them.
