Server UI enhancement

Hello Alteryx Team,

 

I've developed a workflow and successfully uploaded it to our Alteryx Gallery. This workflow requires an Excel file as input, which the user should select interactively via a File Browse Tool.

To achieve this, I've used the following configuration:

  • An Input Data Tool is connected to a sample Excel file and reads a specific sheet (e.g., "Sheet1" or "Data").
  • A File Browse Tool allows the user to select the Excel input file.
  • An Action Tool connects the File Browse Tool to the Input Data Tool to dynamically update the Excel file path

 

Every time a user runs the workflow in the Gallery and selects an Excel file, a pop-up window appears, prompting the user to select the Excel sheet.

I do not want to have the option of selecting "<List of Sheet Names>". I only want to be able to select the Sheet itself.

 

I would suggest to add an option that allows the creator of the App to deselect the field "<List of Sheet Names>", so that the User on the Server can not see and select this field.

 

Thank you in advance for your help!

 

Best regards, Felix
