Alteryx Analytics Cloud Product Ideas

Hello,

I need to store many variable RegEx in column to use it in MATCHES function (for example).

But Dataprep doesn't currently support a column as an input in a way that the pattern inside it is read as an actual regular expression.

I think this feature could be a great feature !

Thanks.

Currently, when a recipe is copied, any data qualities within the original recipe are not duplicated in the copied version. In order to implement a systematic data quality program, the rules must be manually created for every single recipe, which obviously takes a lot of time. It would be great if the data quality rules could persist when the recipe is copied.

At the moment, long formulas are very difficult to read because they cannot be "beautified". Instead of allowing for multi-line text and indentation, our formulas are in a single-line, wrapped textbox. It would be very helpful if Trifacta supported "beautification-enabled" textboxes for formulas so that we can write formulas that are easy to read and understand.

When migrating flows from one environment to another, currently one must click on each flow to export it, and then import it into another environment. It would be great to do so in bulk by ticking a bunch of flows to export. Or do it by exporting an entire folder. Or do it by exporting a plan.

We would like to be able to split users into different user groups within the same workspace. Permissions to view and edit outputs, job runs and flows (including for administrators) would be allocated on a user group level (e.g. so one user group can edit flows, the associated job runs and outputs while other groups can only view them). Administrators would be allocated to a particular user group and their admin rights would apply to their own group only.

I started migrating some processes from Desktop to Cloud, but I miss the email customize sending functionality in Cloud. Is it possible?

 

I would like to send a customized email after a successful execution, but I couldn't find the option to customize the email or attach a file.

 

If it is not possible, are there plans to implement this soon?

When i use Dataprep full day, i would prefer to have a dark theme to preserve my eyes ! If we could swith between a dark or a light theme, it would be the best solution !

Standardize is an amazing function! ... if you know that you won't have any more values added to a column later. With standardize, it's impossible to account for future source values.

It would be super helpful if there were a way to add additional Source Values (and, accordingly, New Values for those source values) to account for values that might appear in the future (but aren't in your data right now).

I realize there are already a number of ways to account for "future" values. Some examples include if...then...else, condition column > case on single column, condition column > case on custom column. However, these transforms are not friendly for those unfamiliar with coding in low-code tools, and this no-code upgrade to Standardize could help these users.

Please add features to your current "Folder" feature by allowing us to share them with other users, move a flow that has been "shared" with us from the root folder to a sub-folder, etc.

Someone has already submitted an idea for multiple levels of sub-folders which was another request that we had. Thanks.

Hi all,

I'm working through cloud quest 1 using the Alteryx Cloud Native experience - and it seems that there's an opportunity here to get rid of the need to know historical ways of working.

 

The example in this case is that there are 2 dates:

- 16-Jun-01

- 25-Dec-01

 

Now it seems that most people used either a RegEx or a DateTimeParse (which still uses the same specifiers since Alteryx 11 - https://help.alteryx.com/current/en/designer/functions/datetime-functions.html#idp376621).   Additionally there doesn't seem to be a DateTimeParse tool in the platform yet in the CloudNative version.

 

However - given that we're living in the future now - it seems that it should be trivial to use a little AI to recognize that '16-Jun-01' is a date - and allow the user a right-click option to convert to a date.

 

Please can you consider doing a simpler method of cleaning up dates than forcing the user to remember the classic alteryx specifiers for dates since this is SUCH a common need

Using Challenge 438 as an example, the crosstab in designer cloud needs to be dynamic for the new column names to ensure parity with desktop. Unless I'm missing something, you would need to click on the crosstab and manually reset it/add new fields anytime the data changes. Desktop would automatically pick up new fields.

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.

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.

Parquet has been more performant than publishing to csv and love to have this feature implemented

When I'm on the Flow workspace, if I do a click on a recipe, the steps displays on the float right box.

Unfortunately, i'can't select and copy steps :-/

I'm forced to load the recipe to copy steps before past it in another recipe. I think that everyone would gain some time to copy steps directly from the Flow view !

We use heavily Tibco Data Virtualization server views and web services in our organization.

We need to have official connector supported by Trifacta to connect and fetch data from those.

There is no explicit sharing functionality for user macros between users or groups of users. Currently, the closest thing is users gain access to an owner’s macros within a flow once the flow is shared with them. It would be good to be able to share macros in the same way that users can share flows.

Currently is scheduling allowed only on Instance level.

The request is to be able to allow scheduling for particular user, instead for all instance users.

Currently, when pivoting a specific field into multiple columns, all other fields you want present in the resulting table must be individually added to "row labels".

First off - It is very time consuming when you have a lot of columns to add.

Secondly - When new columns are added in the source data, these new fields are not automatically included. When this happens we need to:

1. re-sample the data,
2. make sure the new column is present,
3. manually add it to the list in the row labels.

When using an automation tool such as Trifacta I would expect that my flow can deal with new columns being added without having to go and fix my flow every time. Adding an option to add "All other fields" or being able to select the Fields to exclude would make this process much smoother and it would ensure that our flow is future proof.
