I would love to see horizontal scrolling support for mice. Currently, you allow scrolling vertically, but not horizontally. It would be so much quicker to be able to navigate with horizontal scrolling support.

For the PDF to Text tool- Config section-  

We suggest a potential config change with pages to take in and scrub, similar to a print # of pages which can help benefit and drive more accuracy and ultimately performance as a separate section or within the Text Extraction Options

Hi Team,

 

Please add an option of adding only Error in the Email Event. Currently we can send full Output log but cannot filter only errors from the output log.

Hi Team,

 

Most of our Alteryx users have reached out to us with this issue in File browse tool - How to not have a user prompted to select a sheet name when uploading an Excel file to Alteryx Server.

 

It works as expected when we using in Alteryx Designer Analytic app, but it's not working on Alteryx Server.

 

So, we request you to add this feature in the upcoming Alteryx Server releases.

 

Thank you !

It will be nice to have a filter that letting you select the post based on the amount of replies.

It is mainly to ensure that all the new posts that have 0 comments will be reviewed. As people keep posting questions some are more popular and some less and to ensure that all the post been reviewed it will be nice to be able to filter it on 0 and see if any of the posts are not any more on page 1 and not visible anymore, and the person does not get his question an answer.

The knowledge base site is a great resource for finding help, but it lacks the ability to favorite or bookmark articles for easy access in the future, similar to how community blogs/posts can be saved.

That is all. ðŸ™‚

Given the security and privacy concerns, we'd like to disallow users from making any workflows "public". I suppose that this should be a global setting that can be tuned on/off to allow/disallow Public workflows in the gallery.

Hello Maveryx Community,

 

Wouldn't it be nice to be able to save your open source projects directly to the community page, as you would when saving a workflow to a gallery? This way we could upload and download our workflows from the community page, and treat it as a repository/portfolio page with Alteryx specific projects. It could be even tailored so that you can preview it, in a form of a html page without download, to see how the workflow looks, without having to download it. Option to mark projects as private or public would be nice too, to filter out who can and who can't see the given project. What do you think about this idea, not needed, or a cool addition?

 

Best Regards,

Szymon Czuszek

Hello all,

Sadly our community is against attack by spammers. This causes damages to all, since it pollutes the forum. Maybe having a team of volunteer to clean that mess could be helpful?

Hello all,

I don't think AACP acronym is obvious for everyone... maybe calling the idea section to it  "AACP (Cloud)" would help ?

Best regards,

It would be great to add a way for users to mark questions as solved if another user has posted a valid solution for a topic. I often find myself opening posts to try and help answer their questions only to find that a solution has already been provided but the topic was left unresolved. Maybe some logic can be added to only allow this option if the post is over a month old. That way, the original author still has a chance to mark the question as resolved. Otherwise, active users can help clean up the posts by marking questions as resolved by selecting the provided solution. 

Hello all,

My goal today was to work on Alteryx Designer Cloud (the "new" one, not Trifacta). I began this path https://community.alteryx.com/t5/Learning-Paths/Designer-Cloud-Core-Trifacta-Classic/ta-p/1045768 but what a deception ! It's about the Trifacta.

Do I miss something ? We all have understood Alteryx Cloud is your priority but building documentation, tutorials, certifications is not exactly an option if you want to seduce customers and partners.

Best regards,

Currently you can filter for all boards for posts with no responses, but you can't apply that to specific boards.

 

Could this be added? Can help identify those that haven't had any help yet (and similarly those that don't have a solution yet)

Hey wanted to see what people's interest would be for a certification around the intelligence suite?

Hi all! 

 

Just had a fun thought over Christmas and didn't find the time to post it. But the general idea is to increase participation in User Groups, and to have more unique flairs to it. 

 

First

I think being part of a UG is pretty cool - but having badges that are designed to the UG location would add more flair to it and encourage people to explore UGs too. Tableau does this in a pretty cool way, an example is how they design base on location like for Singapore:

Joining badges helps users to know about UGs and contribute within. Having more activities is fun!

 

Second

Have UG badges that indicate contributions within as well. For example, being a proactive member by hosting several UGs or events should warrant some form of badge / honor as well. 

 

I think small pockets can hang out on their own online and have sessions that can help one another. One problem is that UGs are usually dependent on UG Leaders organizing, but if individual users can setup sessions and share their sessions would be good and should be counted too. This helps current UG Leaders find talent and also to plan for succession should a UG Leader wish to step down. 

 

Third

Having more support from AYX on these programs. I know hosting events and catering is expensive in general. Support from Alteryx in the form of USD 150 per UG setup is already pretty neat. It would be great if we can have more support - some arrangement can be made I'm sure. 

 

That's all I have for now! Will comment to add more.

My company has gone through merging event last year and I have two domains account registered in Alteryx. 

I have use the new account domain to register for the Alteryx licenses but my old account domain (current account) for practice and learning including exam. 

Looking for opportunity to merge the two accounts together with new account domain.

Currently there's only the Curator role that can perform admin functions in Gallery. This role is too broad. We would like to have a separate admin role that can only perform user management but nothing else. Likewise, we would like an admin role that can manage workflows/collections, view metrics etc, but cannot do user management (view/add/edit/delete users). Such more fine-grained roles are necessary in IT management where strict separation of duties is a mandate.

A Curator can see all workflows and their general info in the Admin area.  This is fine.  However, a Curator can also paste the app ID of a workflow in his/her regular gallery view and can download the workflow even if the workflow is not shared directly with the Curator. 

 

For example, a user (regardless of role) access a workflow that's shared with him/her like this:

 

https://<alteryx server hostname>/gallery/#!app/<workflow name>/<workflowId>

 

A Curator can paste the workflowId of a workflow that he/she does not have access to in the URL, and access the workflow to download it. We think that this is a security/IP risk as we do not want our Curators (system admins, Support reps) to be able to perform such an action. 

Hello,

We don't have any place to post idea about the cloud products. Since it's clearly new products, isn't it relevant to ask your users about what they need?

Best regards,

Simon
