Form Persistence

[fredzannarbor]

We have a large number of apps which are used by a substantial number of end users. One frequent end user complaint is that forms do not persist, i.e. the settings need to be reselected each time the form is run.  We've heard that this is an Alteryx issue.   Are there any solutions or work-arounds? It is a huge ease of use issue.   It has occurred to me that we may need to dramatically simplify the forms (they have many controls) but I would like to have a solution that is correct in terms of complying with modern Web UI standards.  I remember pushing to make forms persistent twenty years ago.

Yes indeed !

Getting persistent forms would save a lot of time and  would secure things as it would be possible to see what has been previously input

Very late to the party, but in designer, you can save .yxwv parameter file via the interface designer which you can then use as the app selections, but currently this only works in Designer and not on the Gallery.

You have a few options using Command line for the Gallery which are discussed here: https://community.alteryx.com/t5/Alteryx-Designer-Discussions/Import-yxwv-file-automatically/td-p/20...
