Alteryx Loader Enhancement

Status: New Idea Submitted by on ‎11-09-2020 12:18 PM

Hello Alteryx,

 

The Alteryx loader does an excellent job capturing the Data Connection information from workflows and visualizing the data in Connect. It would be an additional benefit if the Data Connection information could get more granular and include the columns utilized from each table in the workflow.

 

An example where this will provide valuable benefits:

If you have a table with 100 columns and it's utilized extensively in more than 50 workflows, how do you analyze the impact when you're notified that column ABCXYZ is going to be altered? Connect can tell me which workflows are using the table, but it can't tell me which workflow is specifically using column ABCXYZ.

 

This would greatly aid users who may be searching workflows for specific column usage.

 

Thank you,

Jason
