Replace, ReplaceFirst, ReplaceChar and Regex_Replace in the cloud all have a limitation where arguments must be constants. Any attempt to use a column returns an error. This would a nice enhancement to have parity with Desktop. The below functions currently error out in cloud but work in desktop.

 

Replace(Column1,Column2, Column3)

Regex_Replace(Column1,Column2,Column3)

Could doesn't like that Column2 and Column3 are references to fields. It only works if you hardcode a string like "text". Desktop doesn't have this limitation.

Hi all,

When using the Sharepoint connector, using the Sites.Read.All permission on Service Principal does violate customer corporate security measures. The customer is requesting to implement certificate-based authentication for SharePoint Files. See ticket 00683632 for more information.

Thanks

Currently in Alteryx Cloud we cannot create groups of users.

Having groups of users means that sharing of content would be much more manageable (currently if I want to share a workflow I need to share it with users individually).

The ability to create groups of users and share content with them would be:

  • More secure
    • tagging users individually makes it more likely to mistakenly include or exclude users
  • More user-friendly
    • rather than having to remember and then tag all N users, I can create a single group and tag that 
  • More unified
    • Alteryx Server, along with every other platform I can think of lets you create and manage groups of users. In fact it is always best practice to do so.

Thanks

Hello all,

One of the great things of Alteryx Designer on-premise is that we can do a huge quantity of diverse tasks in the same canvas :

-classic data preparation

-in-database
-report

-machine learning
-spatial/geographic analysis,

-building apps and macros,
-etc, etc

And frankly, the feeling I have after testing the different cloud applications is that there are way too many silos between app, not real integration... it seems more like a patchwork than a real homogeneous platform.

Personnally, and I think it's true for any historical Alteryx user, I would have far preferred exactly the same experience that we have in Designer, being able to seamlessy going to cloud or to on-premise, etc and then, some improvements with the other module.

(And since I do love Alteryx, I must say I'm waaaay disappoited. probably as much that when I saw the first release of Qlik Sense in 2015)
Best regards,

Simon

Hello all,

Only one file format is supported by AutoML : csv. And we can't even choose the separator (not the same in the US and France).

Best regards,

Simon

Hello folks,

let's say it's my second greatest  deception so far! Alteryx on-premise is not perfect but it supports a lot of file format... and here, three file formats only, and three that are not performant or rich : xls, xlsx, csv

I won't make an idea by missing file format but the bare minimum seems at least to support the same file formats than on-premise (like yxdb, hyper, parquet,kml, etc...)

Best regards,

Simon

Hello,

On Alteryx Designer on-premise, we can set background and text color (and other settings...). It's very useful because it allows to have a color palette by functional or technical feature of the container.

And as an example of the popularity of this color feature, this post on linkedin :

Hello all,

I would like to move the Tool Configuration to the left instead of the default right (and save this configuration for me). 2 reasons for that : 
1/ same experience than Designer on-premise
2/ less distance to do with the mouse

(also, if the tool palette could be movable upside.... would be great)

Best regards,

Simon

Hello all,

On Alteryx Designer, you have a star (asterik) after the workflow name when it's not saved. Would be nice to have the same feature in Cloud, that's an easy, standard way to get the information.

Hello,

I love standards and ctrl+S is a pretty common on for the last four decades. Can we expect it to work also on Alteryx Designer Cloud please ? Even if it's in the browser, it seems possible since the guys at Dataiku managed to do it.

Hello,

Correct me if I'm wrong but we can't export or import a workflow. That sounds a very easy and very useful function, especially when you develop something and want to share with others users.

Use a linked datasets created by GCP Analytic Hub as data source in DataPrep. Detailed informations in link below:

Can I use linked dataset (created by Analytic Hub in GCP) to build flows in DataPrep? (trifacta.com)

As of now the once a user deletes the flow, the flow will not be visible to anyone, except in the database. But the flow is soft deleted in the database. So can enable the option for admins to see all the deleted flows and recover those flows if required, so that in case some one deletes the flow by mistake then admins can retrieve it by recover option. This has to be an option by check box, where they can recover those flows all at once if it is a folder. This option can also be given to folder recovery where they can recover all the flows in the folder.

I want to create a dynamic output file name in both the Trifacta UI and New Designer Cloud UI. I know that I can create a timestamp or a parameter, but it seems like the parameterization in Trifacta is static. Instead of having to manually override the parameter every run, I am wanting to grab the desired filename from a field in the dataset. This is a functionality commonly used in Desktop Designer, so I'm hoping for it to be added to the Cloud soon!

Currently there is support for parameterizing variables in custom SQL dataset in Dataprep. However it requires that the tables using this feature have the same table structure. This request is to allow this same functionality but with tables that have different table structures.

Example:

Table A

dev.animals.dogs

name | height | weight


Table B

dev.animals.cats

name| isFriendly


Would like to use a query where we have 1 custom SQL dataset where we just say

SELECT * FROM dev.animals.[typeOfAnimal]

typeOfAnimal being the parameterized variable with a default of dogs.

Hi team,

We would need a page where a user can handle all the email notifications they are receiving from all the flows (success and failure).

Thank you

We would strongly like the ability to be able to edit datasets, created with custom SQL that have been shared with us. We think of Trifacta in part as a shared development space so if 1 users needs to make an update to a dataset but wasn't originally the owner - this slows down our workflow considerably.

Create a connector to Mavenlink.

If a flow is shared between multiple editors and someone make changes in it, there should be a way we can see all the changes made to that flow by different users, like creating a trigger that will notify the users about the changes made in the flow by someone as soon as the recipe changes or if we can extract the information about the flow or the job. I have attached the snippet of data that can be useful to us.

Right now there is no place where team members can collectively create flows and share at one place. If given the option to share the Folders among different members just like we have for flows it will be lot easier. For Example: If there is a folder with 4 different flows, and I share the folder with my team mates they can edit and created new flows over there and can see all the 4 different flows already present. But if out of 4 flows if I share 2 flows with someone, they see the folder but they don't see the flows not shared with them.
