Select Workflow Input Files

Hello everyone!

 

I want to share a workflow with my colleagues on Alteryx server. The workflow uses an Excel file (saved in one of our shared folders) as an Input. I would like to enable my colleagues (using Alteryx server) to select/ adapt the Input file themselves when executing the workflow on the server.

 

Does anyone know how exactly this works and can help me please? 

 

Thanks for the help!

 

Kind regards, Kim

Hi @kim09 ,

 

You can transform your workflow into an analytic app and add a file browse connected to your input tool. That will enable the option for the Gallery users to select the file from their folders.

You can go to the category Interface > File browse (right-click) and open this example to learn how that works.
