Is there a way to update workflow constants in analytic apps using an interface tool? ... View more

Additional Dynamic Select Mode for All Native (Non-Macro) Tools with Select Functionality (with or without Data Type Selection)   This is the updated version of an idea I posted a while ago (which only included Multi-Field Formula), and after the release of Alteryx Designer 2025.1, which I found to be very successful from a new tool and functionality perspective, I decided to post about it.   My proposition is to add the Dynamic Select functionality* (at least the Select via a Formula mode) to all native (non-macro) tools in all tool categories that include a Select functionality (as an alternative, where the user would be OK with not being able to also change the field types of the selected fields, such as Join and Append tools, the opposite would apply to Multi-Field Formula, where the user would be able to dynamically select which fields the Multi-Field Formula would be applied to, in addition to changing the data type), including but not limited to (to account for any new tool with a Select functionality that might be added in the future):   Preparation Category - Auto Field - Data Cleanse Pro (added in 2025.1) - Multi-Field Formula - Multi-Row Formula (for Group By option) - Rank (for Group By option) - Record ID (for Group By option) - Sample (for Group By option) - Tile (for Group By option) - Unique   Join Category - Append Fields - Find Replace - Join - Join Multiple   Transform Category - Arrange - Cross Tab - Make Columns (for Grouping Fields (Optional) option) - Running Total (for both Group By (Optional) and Create Running Total options) - Transpose (for both Key Columns and Data Columns options, the tool would generate an error if the Dynamic Select formula written for both options are selecting the same field(s), as the Transpose tool is not supposed to allow it) - Weighted Average (for Grouping Fields (Optional) option)   In-Database Category - Select In-DB   Reporting Category - Layout (for Group By and Per Column Configuration options) - Table (for Group By and Per Column Configuration options)   Machine Learning Category - Transformation (for Select Features mode only, as the other two modes with Select functionality (Clean Up Missing Values and One Hot Encoding) require Method and Missing Category Action specification)   Developer Category - Download (for And values from these fields option present in Headers and Payload tabs) - Dynamic Rename (for the Select functionality present in Formula mode)   Spatial Category - Find Nearest - Spatial Info - Spatial Match   Data Investigation Category - Pearson Correlation   Skipping Address and Demographic Analysis categories as they have tools that seem to be using a static input, therefore not requiring a Dynamic Select functionality.   Laboratory Category - JSON Build (for Grouping Fields (Optional) option) - Transpose In-DB (with a similar logic to the regular Transpose tool found in Transform category)   *The Dynamic Select functionality added tools that have more than one input anchor (such as Join and Join Multiple) could have new additional fields the users can utilize, such as: - [Origin] (can have the values "L" or "R" for Join and Append tools) - [Connection_ID] (can have the values 1, 2, 3 etc. for Join Multiple tool) - [Unknown] (can have the values "True" or "False" for the Data Columns option of the Transpose tool, or any other tools such as Join that would have the Dynamic or Unknown Columns option as a part of their Select functionality) ...

Whenever we upload a workflow in the Gallery, we have to manually unselect, one by one, all the workflow assets in order to avoid them being packaged, because we use absolute UNC paths everywhere: if an asset is packaged, there might be errors due to relative paths   It would save time to have the option to either "Select all" or "Unselect all" in the interface shown in the attachment (Capture.png) ...

Hi everyone,   Since the Home page has been replaced by the My Workspace page as the main page on the Gallery, end-users are getting confused or at least uncomfortable with this transition.   It would be amazing to change the default main page to the Public tab or even remove/deactivate the My Files tab for these users.    Removing /deactivating the My Files tab will also correct an issue generated when an Artisan is downgraded to an end-user. Currently, these users can see their workflows in the My Files tab but can't access them.     Idea based on @phottovy 's question: https://community.alteryx.com/t5/Alteryx-Server-Discussions/Change-quot-Public-quot-to-default-view-on-the-gallery/td-p/968313   ...

During a recent project, I explored the Alteryx Server Download a Workflow Package API Endpoint, which includes an optional versionId parameter. The documentation suggests that this parameter should allow users to retrieve specific, prior versions of a workflow package by supplying the appropriate version ID. However, in practice, I found that regardless of which valid prior version ID was provided, the API always returned the current published version of the workflow. This behavior presented a challenge for our automation use case, where we aimed to implement version control and retrieval solely through Alteryx Server, rather than relying on external tools like Git. After thorough testing and validation, I shared these findings with Zach Hamilton and Marty Moravec at Inspire 2025, who were able to confirm the behavior. I appreciate the continued enhancements and support the Alteryx team provides for the Server platform and its APIs. Resolving this issue would greatly benefit users who depend on robust version management and automation capabilities within Alteryx Server. Thank you for considering this feedback, and I look forward to future improvements in this area. ... View more
