Alteryx Designer Desktop Ideas

in our organization people are moving away from network drives to BOX for file repository and they needs to use to connect to BOX using Alteryx as an Input and Output platform where they should be able to access files to read and write. 

Currently few of the users are able to use the BOX as a repository using BOX Sync tool (Map BOX as a network drive) but that is not at all useful when they try to save into a gallery and run or schedule on the gallery. A connector for BOX will be of great help. 

Hello,

I discussed with Alteryx support via email and they informed to post on here for a possible enhancement to Alteryx.

The issue I'm facing is that in raw data coming from SAP, the raw column names have carriage returns in them.

In Alteryx, in the display window, it will just show the first line before the carriage return and not the rest of the text, even though the text is all in one cell in Excel.

In Alteryx, I also tried exporting the file and it will just show the first line before the carriage return and not the rest of the text, even though the text is all in one cell in Excel.

However, when using any tools, the full column names are displayed. 

An enhancement would be for the display window and export tool to have the full column names displayed.

For those with large web and streaming-media server logs, the ability to geocode IP addresses be an excellent feature, similar to Alteryx's ability go geocode street addresses. Several IP geocoding services exist, with different levels of accuracy and cost. Ideally, the user should be able to choose their own service if they have one, in addition to a default service built-in to Alteryx.

A proof of concept is documented in this post. 

The IP geocoding tools should include:

• IP address to IP number conversion, and the reverse
• IPv4 and IPv6
• Output for postal code, country, city, state, latitude/longitude centeroids

With more people moving into urban developments, it would be helpful to allow analysts to measure customers within a "walking distance". Similar to drive time analysis, a step up would be to incorporate "walk time" analysis.
