Option: Go to previous/next tool list

[fmvizcaino]

Hi all,

When debugging an error, we need to verify tool by tool in a sequence to better understand what is really going on.

Sometimes the tools are miles away from each other. Imagine a gigantic workflow with a lot of connections going back and forth and wireless connections everywhere to help the workflow organization. Here is an example with more than 1300 tools: 

My idea is to have a shortcut showing all the previous/next tools and by selecting the previous/next one you go directly to them.

Something like this: 

What do you guys think about that?

Best,

Fernando Vizcaino

Hi @fmvizcaino we appreciate the feedback! We’re doing our best to ensure all product ideas are reviewed and commented on by Alteryx when the necessary criteria are met. Love that you added them to the right-click menu to demonstrate!

Yes, AND when you do this Alteryx, please give it a keyboard shortcut.

In fact, give every option in the Right-click menu a keyboard shortcut. #VivaLaShortcut

:-) Part of me struggles to look at a 1300 tool canvas @fmvizcaino - so my instinct is to wrap this in macros and refactor it.

That being said though - you'd still have the issue of being to navigate through various different places in the canvas.

So - yes, this would be helpful - as would something like an ability to split the screen and look at two different areas of the workflow in parallel as you can in Excel / MS Word
