Move Visual Layout tool out of Beta

Hello!

Currently, the Visual Layout tool (as opposed to the Layout tool) is in a Beta version and has been since I have been using Alteryx. 

I think it's a fantastic tool for (as in the name) visually laying out your reporting tools. I find the original layout tool difficult to use without great attention to detail, and it can cost a lot of time when building report-based workflows.

It would be great to get the Visual Layout tool out of Beta, similar to a lot of the other Laboratory tools (https://help.alteryx.com/20221/designer/laboratory), and increase confidence in using the tool. It is currently hard to suggest using the tool to Alteryx users, as 'BETA' creates apprehension of bugs and unstable functionality.

 

Thanks,
TheOC

+1 this tool is great. I have used it extensively and works like a charm. The only downside is the annoying msg you get when you use it that makes your workflows get flagged like "Warning" when it’s not an issue at all. 

 

"Warning: Visual Layout (21): The Visual Layout tool currently does not handle placement of grouped elements or elements containing multiple records."
