Submission GuidelinesHello Alteryx Team,
Would you consider creating a metadata loader for SharePoint? A lot of companies that we are working with have a lot of data stored in SharePoint and they would like to catalog their metadata.
I am aware that it is possible to use the Files Loader when the SharePoint drive is mapped as a mapped drive in Windows Explorer, but the mapping and subsequent scheduling is very problematic, also because of security policies in large enterprises.
Having a SharePoint dedicated loader would be a great benefit.
Thank you very much for considering this idea.

Hi Alteryx,
currently, when running loaders from the Administration Console - Connections pane, there is no information about the status of the load. Would it be possible to include information such as success/fail message, run length, completion time or next scheduled run time?
This would much simplify monitoring of the scheduled loads and managing the schedule.
Thank you very much.

Hi Alteryx,
we have noticed that when drilling up/down in the "all mode" in Nexus, it is not possible to see all subsequent relations for assets related to the object, where Nexus was opened.
For example, when opening the Nexus view on a business term:
We are unable to drill into the outgoing relationships for the highlighted Tableau dashboard, the only relation we see is its parent.
Would it be possible to show all relations when drilling up/down in the Nexus view?
Thank you very much.

Hi Alteryx Team,
Can you please add PDF or Word Download Option for Glossary Definition Term in Alteryx Connect.
Thanks

Hi Alteryx Team,
We are very glad that the custom field functionality is available in Alteryx Connect. We were wondering, if it would be possible to enhance this functionality and enable additional features like the following:
Thank you very much for considering these ideas.

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
We found out that we are able to setup Nexus modes in global config settings.
We can distinguish modes by relationship types and object types. It is nice.
We would like to distinguish Nexus setting by object’s location as well (to show/hide objects in diagram by their location).
For example to show terms from one folder and to hide terms from another.
We ask you to make possibility to setup Nexus to filter out objects by their location.
Hello,
Could you make saving filter settings inside folders for each user individually?
We a have a lot of terms and other assets, and when user works with his own assets he would like to return to folder with last filter settings.
Otherwise user has to set up filters again.
Virtual folders are not convenient because if each of thousand users will create his own virtual folder(s) it will be hard to navigate inside thousands of virtual folders.
Hi Alteryx Team,
I would like to suggest an improvement in the Alteryx Connect connect_catalina log file.
Currently, the log file contains only a timestamp and in order to get to a date + time combination, it is necessary to use the name of the file itself. Would it be possible to include the date information directly into the log? The use case is for example an integration with log monitoring tools. I am working closely with a monitoring team on a project and their feedback was, that it would be much easier to implement the integration with the date directly next to the timestamp.
Thank you very much for considering this idea.
Kind regards,
Jan
Hi Alteryx Connect team,
I would like to propose a change to a currently available feature - the alternate names.
On our client deployment, we are loading a number of databases, Alteryx Galleries and reporting servers. For the business users, some of the automatic names that are assigned to these source systems do not make much sense. Would it be possible to enable the alternate names for front-end editing after automatic loading? I know that the feature is available even for these assets, but I guess it is disabled in the config files.
Thank you very much for considering this idea.
Kind regards,
Jan Laznicka
Please provide a configuration option to make the DB_TABLES.TABLE_COMMENT for views appear in Discovered Description like it does for tables instead of in Technical Annotation.
It would be great if the File loader could recognize the SQL file extension to read and display the SQL script in Connect. An example would be similar to how the DDL is visible when you look at views in Data Sources. This would provide a large benefit when researching overall data usage and mapping to other data sources and workflows.
