YXDB Source Information

[MarqueeCrew]

It is my understanding that hidden in each yxdb is metadata.  The following use case is common:

As an Alteryx Developer/Designer I want to know the source of a yxdb.  

Ideally, I would know as much about the workflow (name, path, workflow version, AYX version, userid) as possible.

It would be awesome to be construct a workflow that would allow me to search the metadata of yxdb's on my client computers quickly.

Cheers,

Mark

This is only the most obviously helpful idea I've heard recently. Completely agree, Mark.

We're going to review this one for Product Intake consideration.  Thanks @MarqueeCrew

@AlteryxCommunityTeam - could we start by confirming what metadata is included in the YXDB file?

This is very useful information indeed!

Stumbled across this thread.  This would be insanely helpful for those of us who are terrible about organization.  I can't tell you how many times I'm working on a workflow with a yxdb as an input, and I have no clue how it gets generated, or updated.    😉
