Serial number for each process

Does Alteryx has an option to number the icons? for instance, while i m talking with my team on a certain Formula process inside a container which has several formulas i m facing some difficulties orienting the team which one i m talking about except by mentioning its predecessor or whatever after!

Any idea or Alteryx still need to add this feature?

Do you mean like this? If you just click on a blank area of your canvas and set the 'Annotations' dropdown to 'Show w/Tool Names' that'll do it.

Already does that.

If you click on any individual tool and look in hte upper left corner of the configuration pane you will see the tool id number:

If you want someone to find that tool based on that number, they can click Edit > Find and look for the ID in the list of all tools that pops up in the find and replace tab. Clicking on it takes them to the tool.

You can also rename them in the configuration of the tool, so in the workflow messages it can be more specific. For example if you have 4 filter tools you can name each one to say what it's doing so if there's an issue you can hone in on it easier
