Alteryx Server: Capture Job Name in workflow

[Mark_Lurie]

I have created a workflow that runs on Alteryx Server for a group of users.  If two people were to run the workflow consecutively, chances are one could overwrite the other's file.  It would be great when the user adds a description to the Optional Job Name field before hitting run, then that text could be included in the workflow and then used as a pre-append title for the file name.

One way to get around this could be to create a manual input that replaces a dummy string hard coded into the flow.  A lot more moving parts, through.
