Challenge for experts - web input applications

[awojciechowski]

Hello,

Someone in my company built special macro workflow which is not to difficult to input data about Client ID from the list box, and two information about date (start and end date).

Below is part of this workflow:

 

I need prepare in Alteryx, special Interface for user which look like similar to this one:

and in the best way this new solution in Alteryx should be create on web (is it possible to built in Alteryx web interface ??).

Now in Alteryx I can use this tool to input data, but this is solution in Alteryx but I need something in web, which will be connected with my workflow in Alteryx.

Could you give me advice how can i start build this??

@awojciechowski,

Please review this post (A video with pptx support):  https://community.alteryx.com/t5/Partner-Resources/Introduction-to-the-Alteryx-API/ta-p/56734

Essentially, you can call the application on the gallery via an API.  You can have whatever GUI you desire, what you pass are the parameters necessary to queue and execute your gallery application and return the results.

Cheers,
Mark

Hi @MarqueeCrew

Thanks for your fast answer but unfortunately i don't have access.

I see information:

That link is in the Partner section, not on the public community. The following links are public

For starters, I would advise publishing your app to your Gallery anyhow as that will be a web interface. To customise that though, you will need to use the API...

hi @KaneG

Thanks for your answer, i will spent little time to learn more about it, but for first step I need return to my post and ask you and everyone about idea how can I build in Alteryx (not in web). something which look like similar to my current App.

Current App looks that

I bolded in red circle this elements which don't exist in my Alteryx screen.

In Alteryx now I have this parameter screen (view) - have you idea how can I create something nicer / better for user and which will be include  all option which you can see in current application  (above).

My workflow which open this screen looks that:

There are a couple of aspects here.

1. You won't be able to put the controls next to each other on the Alteryx interface.
2. Nesting of the items will make it more visually appealing.
3. The organisation is done in the Interface Designer.
4. For the Radio Buttons, You can put three Radio Buttons on the canvas and then add a group box in the interface designer. Use the arrows on the side to move the Radio Buttons into the Group Box.
5. The buttons are standard in Alteryx, you can't change those.

Thanks @KaneG

I found yesterday this "Interface Designer" and I prepared better interface in Alteryx.

Good to know that "You won't be able to put the controls next to each other on the Alteryx interface."

Very important to design our interface is shortcut CTRL + ALT + D

Now my interface consist of 3 Tabs and include all needed options.
