In complex Alteryx workflows, it can be hard to navigate between different tool containers - especially when there are dozens spread across in a large canvas.
I would love a feature where users could create a 'table of contents' using clickable text or bookmarks at the top of the workflow. For example, Clicking on a text label named 'Output Calculation' would automatically scroll to view to the Tool Container named 'Output Calculation'.
Suggested Implementation ideas :
- Text boxes or Comment Tools support clickable links that scroll the canvas to a specific container or tool.
- Add a new 'Bookmark' or 'Jump To' action tied to container names or Tool IDs.
- Right click on a text label or container and choose 'Link to' or 'Scroll to this container'.
- Use CTRL + Click or ALT + Click behavior on a text comment to jump.
This would massively improve usability and workflow navigation, especially for large teams or workflows that are shared across departments.
Inspiration :
Tools like POWER BI and TABLEAU allow similar dashboard or bookmark style navigation . Implementing this in Alteryx designer would be a game changer.
