How to trigger a user selection for files when creating an automated workflow?

[#1]

I'm attempting a fully automated analysis workflow and have been successful except for one step. When I'm recording and select a file from a file folder to analyze, the workflow records to pull that exact file each time. How do I change the JSL code to prompt the user to select a file manually within the analysis workflow? Or are there other solutions to this I am not thinking of? 

Kindly, 

TK

One way is to change the Open ("directory/to/use/file to open.jmp") section to just say Open (). In the picture below, this means deleting the highlighted text. This will force JMP to ask for a file.

Thank you!

Hi there, 

following up - how to adjust then subsequent steps that reference the "Data Table" that was named base off of the naming of the original opened file? Thanks!

Hi @CurseOfCheetah8 ,

Have the first appearance of the data table in the workflow referred to with a name ie (Data Table("Tablet Production") becomes => dt = Data Table("Tablet Production")). Then where that table is referred to, just delete the full name and change it to the name you've given it 

(i.e. Data Table("Tablet Production")<<clear rows becomes ==> dt<<clear rows)

Thanks,

Ben
