What are the two methods for connecting multiple files to a single input data tool?

The correct approach for connecting multiple files to a single input data tool is through the use of wildcards and the Dynamic Input Tool.

Wildcards allow users to specify a pattern for file names, making it possible to include multiple files that fit this pattern when inputting data. For example, if you have several CSV files named "data1.csv," "data2.csv," and so on, using a wildcard such as "data*.csv" enables the tool to recognize and include all these files in a single operation without having to manually specify each one.

The Dynamic Input Tool enhances this process by allowing you to read multiple files dynamically. It is particularly useful for handling files that may have a similar structure but different data content. By using this tool, you can configure it to read in the selected files based on a specified wildcard pattern, facilitating the management and analysis of large sets of data efficiently.

The other options do not correctly describe the effective combination needed for this purpose. The methods mentioned in those choices either do not support the input of multiple files directly or refer to tools that do not have the same flexibility as wildcards and the Dynamic Input Tool.
