Submission GuidelinesHi Alteryx team,
It would be great if it was possible to install/upgrade and configure Alteryx Connect using scripts. This would enable us to deploy Alteryx Connect using script deployment tools such as Urbancode Deploy. This functionality was recently requested by one of our customers, who has most of their application installations/upgrades automated this way.
Thank you very much for considering this idea.
Kind regards,
Jan
When an Alteryx Workflow/Analytic App is uploaded to the Alteryx Gallery it can be shared with other users. Unfortunately the owner can only see the results of his/her own runs.
We would like to have the possibility to share the workflow results for certain Apps/Workflows in the Alteryx Gallery with other users. Otherwise the only way to provide these results to the users is via MongoDB.
(Maybe they can be shared within collections or on a user level.)
Hi Alteryx Team,
Can you please add PDF or Word Download Option for Glossary Definition Term in Alteryx Connect.
Thanks

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 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
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
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,
It would be very beneficial from an end-user experience if we could provide more information on the Tool Details portion in Connect. Below is an example:
In Connect it tells us a filter tool is used and the expression. What's missing is a title if one is supplied in Designer. This would be incredibly beneficial as this will provide more context to the end user why an expression was used. Below is what's found in the Designer:
If a Name field can also be brought over it will help provide more meaning to the Expression.
Thanks!

Hello!
I have a potential feature enhancement for the database-based Metadata Loaders. This has been tested with the PostgresSQL loaders, however I suspect this is something that is reflected across all database loaders.
This suggestion is simply for constraints of the fields to be brought into connect, with the names of the fields. So for instance the following:
is visible in Connect as:
What would be nice is two additional columns, 'Not Null' and 'Primary Key'. Or alternatively, a 'constraints' column, that contains these constraints, so that it does not have to be documented manually following an import.
Thanks,

Our customers face up with asset name limitation – 200 chars.
This number of chars is not enough in many cases when they describe glossary terms.
Please extend this limit at least twice (to 400 chars)
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
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.
