Auto Adding Input Data Tool

[eggers78]

Hello, 

Is there a way to automatically add an Input Data tool monthly? I have worked on pulling in the most recent version of a file, but we have a workflow that adds a new input tool each month and keeps the previous months' inputs. I am unsure how to do this or is it is even possible, but I would like to find a way to automate this. (Visual is attached)

Thanks!

Check out the Dynamic Input Tool in the Tool Mastery Index .  That should do the trick.  What you'll want to do is use a Directory tool to dynamically read in the files you want (might have to use a sort tool by file modified date and a sample tool to take the first X files, etc.), but once you get your list you can read them all in one at a time and union them all with that Dynamic Input Tool .

Play around with it and let us know if you run into trouble or need some guidence.
