How to manipulate reporting tools to create a named index

Hello! 

 

I am writing a ton of sheets to one render tool on multiple tabs in a single output using layout/union and it's working great. However, I am then trying to extract all of my tab names from my single union tool and create an index with text inputs, but I can't figure out how to loop this back into my single render tool. I figured I have two options:

 

1. See if you super smart folks can help me figure out how to loop the data back into my single render tool

2. Just use a second render tool but still write to my same file (not sure if this is an option though)

 

I created a dummy workflow which is incomplete - I have two tabs of data flowing to a single render tool and then I'm trying to extract the tab names to create the index and loop back into the render tool, but I have only gotten so far as to extract the tab names.

 

Any help is so greatly appreciated!

Hello @kelseyfalls 

 

I don't know if this is what you mean. You were missing on the layout tool to select the layout mode to be on "each group of records".
