Be sure to review our Idea Submission Guidelines for more information!
Submission GuidelinesWouldn't it be great if Alteryx Connect can show badges earned in a user profile like how you have it in the Alteryx community? It would give people more incentive to contribute their knowledge and engage in the tool. This also give visibility to the leaders.
It would be great if there is a way to highlight all the certifications ( ex. Alteryx, Tableau...etc.) that our users earned in their profile. This will help promote data literacy in our community and help users connect to the experts.
Would be good to create an Alteryx Connect plugin for Tableau so that you can access Connect from Tableau? Would improve user experience if the user can access the information catalog without leaving their BI tool. So for example, have an Alteryx Connect sidebar in Tableau to allow you to search for a table or file then click and add as a data source and immediately start data discovery/analysis.
Dean has inspired me to want Voice Activated Alteryx Connect so while I'm having my coffee in the morning I can have Alterexa explain the new data sources that were curated yesterday! Please make this happen!
Our department has a site that manages request access to database, application...etc. The user will have better experience with the tool when they can click on the request access button and it directs them to the form that we use.
We use Connect widely among hundreds of users. During a lot of concurrent sessions Connect begin to work slow and unstable.
It is nice to have high workload detection - to warn users about potential problems/instability/slow response (either by email or via some banner at the Home page).
Please add possibility to sort and filter by any field in any asset, which has internal table. For example - column list in table, table list in schema. Or in "Used in " widget. as for now - sort operation is only applicable for name field. it is not convenient for long lists.
We can tag all objects but when we want to find all the objects with a specific tag that is not possible.
In the advanced search it should be possible to search for all objects. with a specific tag.
The tag should be a part to the search boost.
Example. I have 10 tables that I tag "Finance". When users search for finance the tables should appear even though finance is not a part of the table name, column names or description
In order for us to make sense of Connect assets in an environment with hundreds of users; thousands of canvasses and databases etc - we need to strongly categorise and describe every asset using mandatory tags.
Every asset needs to have mandatory tags
- The admin team set up the list of tags which are required for different types of assets
- For example - every Alteryx Canvas may need Product; Process; Team - every DB table may need Product and Tech Team
Admin team need to be able to define these tags and the acceptable values (which can be a tree)
When searching for assets - these meta-tags need to be available as filters
Example:
Change localization from the system level to the user level. This allows select interface language individually for each user.
Some of our potential customers - multi-cultural companies would like to have this flexibility.
Hi,
I understand it is possible to integrate the users from active directory into Connect but there is no functionality to import actual user groups. Is that something that can be added to the roadmap?
Thanks

A lot of information is not captured when colleagues run numerous SQL codes on server. Oracle, SQL Server, Azure and others...
Would there be a clever way of capturing and archiving all this queries run?
It may be wise to collect these for several reasons;
So found out a similar feature is now available in SQL Server 2016 --> https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/sql/relational-databases/performance/monitoring-performance-by-usin...
Hello All,
We are new to Alteryx and we could see that the Supported Data Sources from IBM are of below :
How about adding IBM Sterling to this?
We want Alteryx to support connection with IBM Sterling OMS which will help the Business requirements
Can anyone post some suggestions on this? How we can connect to Sterling?
Thanks,

When Alteryx connect is first installed to a company with a small alteryx designer base, you do not benefit from lineage.
There are not much workflows at hand. So in order to realize Alteryx connect's immediate benefits I'd like to suggest;
a company-wide Data Quality Score.
And as soon as we install connect we'll have a grand vision of our data and even we'll be able to track the status of our whole distributed data assets with a trend line if we are going better or worse... Here is an example;
It appears that the connect doesn't currently respect the custom URL for any workflows published to the gallery. ie if the url is https://awesomeness.com/datacloud when I select to open a workflow from connect it redirects to https://awesomeness.com/gallery#!app/<specific app info>
That means whenever I select a workflow to open the link is broken.
Alteryx notifies thumbs up but does not notify the owner of a thumbs down.... We think this makes sense to have as consistent so that the owner can follow up on issues with the asset, and/or have it removed.
When we were demo'd Alteryx Connect, I am positive that the person demonstrating said that users would be notified of @ mentions. Turns out this is not the case (https://community.alteryx.com/t5/Alteryx-Connect-Discussions/Tagging-people-in-comments-is-broken-in...)
Given that the Connect brochure promotes the "familiar social interactions" I find this super puzzling that tagging people in does not do what pretty much any other social tool does - let the person know that they have been tagged into the conversation.
Hello...We've found that when we assign an alternative name to an asset, the alternative name becomes the first name listed, and the main name becomes listed within parenthesis. Could this be reversed? As it's always best to have the main name of the asset listed first, then any alternative names/alias to be listed within the parenthesis. It creates visual order having it displayed this way. We've ended up not utilizing the alternative name functionality to avoid any confusion for our users.
Currently - CustyID, CID(CUSTOMER_ID)
Request - CUSTOMER_ID(CustyID, CID)
Thanks!
