Hi,
I am writing this post partly to start a discussion, and hopefully get some input from an Alteryx moderator.
So my questions:
I have used Alteryx for 4+ years. Right now I am exploring KNIME further b/c it does a better job of interacting with Sharepoint. I would rather be working with Alteryx than starting with a new tool from scratch.
Hey @sm7746
Here is a similar topic about connecting to a SharePoint: https://community.alteryx.com/t5/Alteryx-Designer-Discussions/Unable-to-read-the-files-from-the-sub-...
There is currently no way to connect to SharePoint without either the complicated workaround as you call out from T Willins, or you would need to sync the SharePoint folder to your desktop as I outlined in the link provided.
If you save the workflows out on the SharePoint and make the inputs/outputs dynamic, then anyone with access and a linked SharePoint folder would be able to open and run them.
Thanks!
Phil
Hey @Maskell_Rascal
Thanks for the reply.
Alteryx is lagging its competitors in this regard & unfortunately it seems I am the only one that considers this a big issue.
Sometimes it looks like Alteryx is trying so hard to stay ahead in the game in aspects such as advanced machine learning, that they overlook basic aspects that have a much bigger impact in the day-to-day activities of most people using Alteryx.
