Enhance the log with the processing duration for each tool

[asklisa]

There are three places that provides the log information:

1) Regular results window:

Pro: In the process sequence so the user can understand the order of the process.

Con: Doesn't have info on how long each tool takes to process.

2) Workflow -> Runtime -> Enable Performance Profiling

Pro: Processes are sorted in the processing duration descending order which helps to identify the ones that took long to run.

Con: Doesn't show the process sequence.

3) Actual Alteryx log file:

Pro: There are timestamps for each process so the duration can be calculated.

Con: Not ready accessible and not user friendly to be seen from the interface. Not clickable to see more details in the workflow.

I think it will be SUPER HELPFUL to integrate all three together to show in the process order along with the running time.

Thank you for your feedback!

This is an interesting idea, and we always appreciate feedback on how we can enable users and admins alike. If you haven't yet please be sure to check out our Submission Guidelines as they go over the process behind our boards in a bit greater detail.

Perhaps include it in the Connection Progress box for each tool. Currently it shows number of records and size. Personally, I never use the size before final output, so perhaps the size indication could be replace with process time instead? Either as standard or togglable in Workflow - Configuration - Canvas
