@Rakesh_Jasuja  it sounds like your IT security department is blocking something (like a script that renders the button).  Let us know what you hear from them.

Hi @drew9 ,

Thanks for your response, however I don't have Admin access on my company provided Laptop, I will take IT team's help to see if this can be fixed, will let you know the results.

Hi @Rakesh_Jasuja , please try closing Alteryx and then reopen with Run As Administrator. Sometimes Alteryx acts weird and closing and restarting fixes it. Let me know if this works.
