Data evidences for Audit regulations

Question

Hi There,

Hope you all are doing well.

I work in bank where we need to maintain the evidences of all activities run on Alteryx along with details of number of records from input files considered for processing through workflow and the number of records resulted in output to ensure no data losses as part of risk governance.

Please help me with any tool to save these details for every run of workflow. if not feasible by a tool, as a work around is there any way of exporting the messages from results window to a particular location.

Looking forward to hear your suggestions. Many Thanks!!

Workflow Admin Manager was built to solve many of the issues you are facing. It's available in Alteryx Public Gallery and more information, webinars, blogs, etc. can be found here: https://capitalizeconsulting.com/workflow-admin-manager/

Trials are available and enhancement requests are being implemented very rapidly.

Hi,

I highly recommend using the Crew Macros, if the bank will allow you to run the installer on your desktop: Chaos Reigns Within: Macros

These are reliable: written by an Alteryx Ace & Alteryx developer. 2 key tool types:

1. Runner/Conditional runner: these execute your workflows

2. Log parser: these parse the results from the execution

Hope this helps,

Tom

Another tip would be to check Ganesh's macro in the following link, providing a written representation of your workflow, to share with people who might not have access to the program:
