How to Set Workflow Priority in Alteryx Desktop Designer with Alteryx Automator

[harrydba]

Hello All,

I am reaching out to inquire about the functionality within Alteryx Desktop Designer, specifically in relation to setting the priority of workflows when using Alteryx Automator. Is it possible to assign a specific priority to workflows to control which one runs first, especially when multiple workflows are scheduled to execute?

If this feature is available, could you please provide more details on how to configure it within the Alteryx  Desktop Designer Automator?

Thank you in advance for your assistance. I look forward to your response.

By Alteryx Desktop Designer Automator, do you mean the Automation License where you can trigger them outside of Alteryx Server?

If so, then you can create a batch file to trigger the files in the order that you want.

Else: 

Using the Runner Macros (CreW Macros)

• Download the CreW Macros from the Alteryx Community (here).

• Use the Runner Macro or List Runner Macro to execute multiple workflows in sequence.

• This approach is more flexible and allows you to manage dependencies between workflows.

Chained Analytic Apps

• If your workflows are designed as analytic apps, you can chain them together using the Interface Designer.

• In the Interface Designer, specify the next app to run after the current one finishes.

• This method is ideal for workflows published to the Alteryx Gallery.

no, i have desktop designer version 24.1 and runs on windows 10 .

My Question is, i want to set priority in alteryx scheduler, which workflow will run first.

Is it possible in desktop designer (non server) version.

You cannot schedule workflows in designer without a server or an automation license.
