Alteryx Gallery HTML Output

Hi Everyone -

I have created a report in Alteryx that unfortunately will only be output in the correct format via HTML output. I have tried everything I can to get this formatting to work when outputting to a pdf, but to no avail. With that being said, when I upload the workflow to the gallery and attempt to run it, I get the error in the picture below. I know that the issue is related to the html output because I've tested the workflow with a pdf output being the only change and the workflow ran just fine.

Thanks in advance!

@maisonsteyer try outputting to a PCXML format in your workflow and run in the Gallery.

I've tried that and it isn't a good solution because the other options (pdf, excel, and word) are not formatted correctly and I want to limit the download option to just html. Is there a way to limit the download options to only html via the PCXML?

@maisonsteyer What methods of output in Alteryx have you explored as yet - as in have you tried this via the Render and Output tools and get the same sort of result?

I have tried pdf, excel, and html. The only output that I have had be successfully formatted is the html output.

How about this:

Use the Output Tool to create the HTML file in a folder. If this is a throwaway file, I'd create it in the temp folder.
Execute a BAT file using the Run Command tool to open the HTML file. Hopefully, it would open in the same browser.

Is the Run Command tool able to be used in the gallery? I was under the impression that tool wasn't able to be used in the gallery.

Hi all!

After working with @maisonsteyer, it appears that this is a documented defect (TGAL-2235) regarding the Render Tool outputting HTM/HTML files that have embedded image files. This is projected to be fixed in the major 2021.4 Server release.

@TimothyR My server version is now up to 2021.4.2.07064 and I am still encountering the issues stated above. The 2021.4 release notes claim that this has been fixed in that version, however, it remains unfixed.
