Product Updates
We’re making it easier than ever to extend your existing on-premise solutions to the cloud with the launch of Cloud Execution for Desktop. The new feature allows Designer users to create a connection to the Alteryx Analytics Cloud Platform, save and open workflows between Designer and the cloud platform, and schedule workflows in the cloud.
It’s a secure and easy way to schedule and automate workflow runs and free up desktop resources with the added flexibility and choice for starting, automating, and executing workflows beyond the desktop.
Existing workflows that were sitting untouched can now be augmented with cloud-native applications. Similarly, cloud-first use cases can benefit from on-premise development without the need for complex workarounds.
Check out this overview video by our Product Evangelism Director Joshua Burkhow and read this community blog post for details on how to create a linked connection from Designer to an AACP workspace.
Introducing Alteryx App Builder
Building an application from scratch can be a daunting task, especially for businesses that lack the technical expertise or resources. That’s why we’re excited to introduce Alteryx App Builder - a powerful new Alteryx Analytics Cloud Platform capability that allows app creators of all skill levels to create custom analytic applications for users to access insights without the need for coding or development knowledge.
Learn more about App Builder and how the solution can enable end users to answer their own questions, reduce dependency on analytics teams and free them up to identify new opportunities for the enterprise.
App Builder integrates seamlessly with Designer Cloud workflows or with full data sets directly from the organization’s library to reduce manual retrieval processes. Applications can even include a combination of various workflows and full datasets to ensure all necessary data is pulled to make informed decisions.

The Texas Rangers are hitting analytics out of the park in their new state-of-the-art baseball stadium.
