How to add the workflow name and location to the output

[aristiguieta]

Hi everyone,

Does anyone know an automatic / easy way to add the workflow name/location to the output tables?

.

Why do I ask:

.

As team members learn about all the magic I can run with alteryx, I many times I get asked to run "one-off" workflows that sometimes have required "one-off" updates.

.

The problem is that I have multiple workflows that use similar data (targeted/processed to address the one-off request) and lately I'm having trouble identifying which of the many similar workflows I need to rerun for these "one-off" updates.

.

Does anyone know an automatic / easy way to add the workflow name/location to the output tables?

Absolutely a way! 

In the formula tool, you have the option to create a field that uses one of several constants in your workflow, including Engine.WorkflowDirectory (where your file is saved) and Engine.WorkflowFileName (the name of your file). You can add a formula tool at the end of your workflow and create two fields for these two constants and then output those to your file. See attached for an example :)

Hope that helps!

Cheers,

NJ
