how to change input file location for workflow uploaded to gallery

Zenani

Hi everyone

 

I have a workflow that sends out emails to supervisors whose subordinates have outstanding training, i uploaded this workflow to our alteryx gallery, my problem is that the workflow saved the input file to my local machine (C:\Users\zenani\AppData\Local\Temp\Staging\...\_externals) and is using that file whenever i run the workflow. I changed it to a location on one of our networks and selected UNC however every time i run the workflow from the gallery it uses the file in my local machine. Can anyone assist please in how i can make take the file from a specific folder as the file changes weekly but the structure is still the same

Hi @Zenani ,

first put your UNC path in the InputData and add a "*" in the name according the change of the name of the file. "*" means any characters in the name like this:

And save it to the gallery.
