Browse anywhere whilst workflow is running

So I discovered this neat little tip today where if you have a browse tool in your workflow and click on the hyperlink (2 in the picture below) whilst the workflow is running, it will open a pop-out browse rather than show the data in the results window, meaning you can still see all of the messages). However, If you click on the Tool name/ID (1 in the image) is locks the results window to that tool. Idea for a fix here

And this lead me to think that Alteryx must be populating the temporary browse anywhere in memory as it's running, so it would be great if it was possible to either click on the tool anchors or the tool names in the results window whilst the workflow is running to see the browse anywhere data.

Thank you for your feedback! Awesome part two of these ideas!

 

The idea overall looks good once the like count is met and I'm sure at this point you know my little song and dance, but be sure to engage on any other ideas that would be of help for you and thank you again for contributing the Alteryx Idea Boards!
