Centralized Configurations

[Kong]

There are quite a number of XML configurations available in Alteryx Designer as well as in Alteryx server.  And there are possibly in different locations and each of them them is specifically for different configuration options.

Currently, there it isn't a official list of all these configuration files as well as all the configurable options.  It would be good to have a centralized area to configure and visualize all these.  This not only helps easier to know how to customize the tool but also help easier to maintain the backup/restore of the configuration files.

Moreover, there are possibly some settings go into the registry.  This would be also good to have this centralized as well.

Ideally, a user interface would be good for these configuration with general/advanced tabs to classify the possible configuration.  For server, ideally, it could be comes up the controller to distribute all these settings.  For Designer, once it is configured to the Gallery, it should be able to grab the configuration and apply in the machine.

Hope all these make sense and do-able.

Thanks.

Hey @Kong 

Absolutely support this idea - for example, runtimesettings.xml does not have a UI for all the settings that can be set.

BTW - over the last few releases - the server team have been looking at the settings and bringing them into a UI format, so this is work in progress.
