Missing time series tools under Time Series Tab

Dear All,

Wondering if anyone can help me to solve this. I have installed the R predictive package and I have the predictive tools. Under my Time Series tab, I have

 

ARIMA,

ETS,

TS Compare,

TS Covariate Forecast,

TS Filler,

TS Forecast, and

TS Plot. 

 

I just realized that I should have two more: TS Forecast Factory and TS Model Factory. These two are missing on my Alteryx. 

 

Can anyone tell me what may be the cause? My Alteryx version is 2018.4.5.55178

 

Thank you

According to the documentation on those tools, they are not automatically installed with Alteryx Designer or the R tools. These tools are available for download from the Alteryx Analytics Gallery

Thank you so much! I downloaded the files. They both are standard macros. Now how can I add them to my Time Series tab?

The Peter Gamble-Beresford over at the Information Lab has put together this awesome guide to integrating custom tools into the standard toolbar using a yxi installtion:

Alternatively, you can add them your in your user settings:
