How to schedule analytics apps with questions in galllery

Question

Hi all experts,

I have a quick question - how can i schedule analytics apps in the gallery with questions prompt up for users to fill in?

When i click "Run" then the Questions will appear, however when i try to schedule the same workflow; questions will not appear.

Thanks

Hi,

This is a feature that is not currently supported in Alteryx.

If you wish to see this implemented, you can register your interest in this post in our ideas section.

Agree this would be useful.  Any of the other ETL tools that have a scheduler - if there are parameters, they are allowed to be entered whether running on demand or by schedule.  And if you're scheduling, you're setting the questions/parameters once, then every time it runs, uses those entries.  Great for parameterization across environments, etc.

We are trying to accomplish the same thing.  The app we have accesses one of our databases with a long-ish running query, and wanted to see if we could schedule it so the output would be ready when we got into work.  Pre-filling a scheduled app would save the time of having to wait for the query to run.
