The ability to create, modify and enhance interactive chart types through custom plotly code in either R or Python.  This would allow new style of visualisation to be created and shared with other authors.

Current insight tool can create dashboard but can not display content by user access control, for example: one insight dashboard has whole country's sales number. Would you please add an function to let different region's sales only see their own region data when log into this dashboard ? 

 

Thanks!

I keep making the same changes to the table tool rules, using the same formulas when I build new reports. For example, Row Rule 1: Font, bold; Background Color, green; Row Rule 2; Font, bold; Background Color, blue; Row Rule 3; Font, bold; Background Color, yellow. Each is based on a formula:  IsEmpty([Column Name]). I do this over and over and over again. The only thing that changes is the column name. It would be nice to have the Row Style Rules saved so they can be browsed to" or inserted.

 

Still waiting for the Default Table Settings to include "CENTER" in the header tab.

I am relatively new to Alteryx, but to my knowledge it does not seem like you are able to create aggregate data alerts that link two data columns to each other.

 

My suggestion is the following: Enable Alteryx to create a data alert so if you are creating a warehouse overview (as an example) you can set an alert whenever the quantity of an item is equal to its minimum stock

 

Alert when: Quantity = Minimum stock

 

Thus, whenever your quantity is reaching a critical level, you would receive an alert either through Alteryx, in Tableau (which I use to mediate my Alteryx data) or by email.

Hi,

I am using the Interactive Chart to create a line-chart, but I would like to have values of (X,Y AND Trace Name)

I cannot display it for the différent regions, when we move the mouse over the curve the parameter is applied only for one region.

 

FI: it works if i modify the xml code by adding the following code to each region:

 

<value>
<hoverinfo>x+y+name</hoverinfo>
</value>

 

Is it possible to add it directly in interactive chart ?

 

Thank you.

I would like to be able to have the Map Tool to change the Reference Base Map to Tom Tom CA if there is a Country column in the incoming data stream that reads "CAN".  Or change the Expand Extent from the default 10(%) to the number that's in a column called "Extent".

 

Right now I can only do it using the Macro interface tool, but I still have to make my selection after I select which data point(s) I'm using.

 

I want it to generate specific-format maps based on the input data I provide, so it could run automatically.

 

I guess, aside from the Spatial Field, Grouping Field, Thematic Field, and Label Fields, I'd love a Configurations Field(s).

For example, allowing the letters in front of the column titles to be formatted differently to make them stand out on a report.

I would love to see an optional output anker for the render tool.

 

This would allow us to push a pdf/png into the python module. We could then build twitter/social media 'add ons' using python and fully automize the process.

Hi,

 

It would be very useful for me If I could consolidate in the same output two different inputs: 1- the whole output flow; 2- The summarize from the output. That would save some time from doing pivot table analysis for instance. 

 

Thanks

I like the concept of the Interactive charts tool but it seems overtly cumbersome to use when you are trying to perform simple changes to a line graph.  The chart tool was much easier.  I like the direction the interactive tool is going but I should not have to edit the tools xml to display point values on a line graph.

Hi,

 

As per our project, we need to publish the image into a PDF file which will be downloaded from web URL. when we download the image from web URL that will be saved as TIF format in our local machine. This TIF format is not being supported by Alteryx.

The tool needs an enhancement (to support TIFF) which can be used for converting tiff format to other  format OR directly tiff image should be usable in the report.

 

 

Thanks,

I have a process that sends out about 1,500 emails. Every once in a while, it will get stuck at some Percentage and I will have to eventually cancel the workflow, figure out how many emails were sent, and then skip that many emails in order to avoid sending duplicate emails. The process of figuring out how many were sent is currently taking the % of the tool at cancellation minus 50%(since that is where it starts), Multiplying it by 2, and then multiplying that % by the number of lines to get the approximate line of data where it froze up, and then reaching out to individuals to see if they received the email to narrow down exactly where the error occurred. 

 

Example: 60% - 50%= 10% * 2 = 20% * 1249 = 249.8.

 

This has been pretty accurate in the past, but obviously is not ideal. Is there no way for it to show us how many were sent even if we cancelled the workflow mid processing of the tool?

Our company is loving the Insight's Tool, but I am constantly being asked by users if they can export the data behind the graphs that is feeding in. For example we have an inventory dashboard for vehicles that starts at a Corporate level, but is drillable down to a "Regional" and then even more focused "Managed Area" level. Once users get down to the "Managed Area" level they want to export the line level data that is feeding into the Insight chart to actually view, work, and action the data at a vehicle level. 

 

Essentially an option to export the data feeding into the graphs.

Hello,

 

The new tool chart does not have an option to choose other colors in the Pie Chart and is not possible edit in XML because the structure is different from the previous version.

 

I appreciate everyone's help.

Thank you.

Hi,

 

I am sure that I can't be the only person that would be interested in an output tool that allows categorical fields on both axes.  THis would allow you to visualise the following example and I would suggest that this was either similar to the heatmap with boxes or the colour / size of the entry was determined by a third numerical value - such as 'Confidence' from the table below.  THere might be ways to extend the idea as well as having a fourth parameter that puts text in the box or another number but it would be useful and not too hard I am sure.

Many thanks in advance for considering this,

The chart tool is really nice to create quick graphics efficiently, especially when using a batch macro, but the biggest problem I have with it is the inability to replace the legend icon (the squiggle line) with just a square or circle to represent the color of the line. The squiggly line is confusing and I think the legend would look crisper with a solid square, or circle, or even a customized icon!

 

Thank You!!!!

The Table tool does not allow renaming a field so that it breaks at a specific point.

Fields like "H.S. Dropouts Non-Hispanic" and "H.S. Dropouts Whites" need a forced break after Dropouts.

 

Now we get random breaks like

 

H.S. Dropouts

Non-Hispanic

 

H.S. Dropouts White

 

The Rename Field function in the Basic Table tool would be a great place to allow forced breaks.

 

Thanks!

Alteryx currently shows 100% in the profiling of spatial fields in the results window, regardless of if there are rows with missing spatial features. I opened a ticket about this & was told it is expected behavior.

 

Therefore, I submit the idea that the profiling for spatial fields should give an accurate profile of the field, & if there are nulls in the field, it should identify that column isn't 100% OK and show the % of records that have null values, like the profiling does for every other column in workflows.
