Hello Masters of Alteryx,
I have a concern about Predictive and other analytics tools that I want to discuss on this forum.
Up to version 10.0 I could open pretty much all analytics tools as a macro, to tweak things in R or in the macro workflow to get the results in a way most useful to us.
But apparently with Alteryx 11.0 the newer tools does not have that option, Although we can still access the older tools and still open them as macro but I don't understand (may be interactive report option) why that is being killed in the newer versions?
Most of the newer versions have new features, like Linear Regression now support elastic net and cross validation etc.. but I still want to be able to go in to them to tweak them.
In fact last year @BridgetT helped me in doing elastic net in Alteryx and I could do it because I could see how Alteryx is doing linear regression.
I have also made several other changes in other tools to suit me but now I feel confined in options to me with new tools.
Another example is Correlation tool, the newer version does not support Grouping and I can not make change in that (although @JordanB I understand that it can still done by putting it inside a batch macro but its much harder & I could not do it because I don't know how variable selection using "Interactive List box" and "Update Value"/"Update Raw XML" in an "action tool" properly works.)
In the end what I want to say is, Alteryx much more useful to me when I can open and customize the awesome tools it has.
And if I have to choose between interactive report and option of opening a macro with html report, I would go with the latter.
Thanks,
Ashish
