Submission GuidelinesHello,
After used the new "Image Recognition Tool" a few days, I think you could improve it :
> by adding the dimensional constraints in front of each of the pre-trained models,
> by adding a true tool to divide the training data correctly (in order to have an equivalent number of images for each of the labels)
> at least, allow the tool to use black & white images (I wanted to test it on the MNIST, but the tool tells me that it necessarily needs RGB images) ?
Question : do you in the future allow the user to choose between CPU or GPU usage ?
In any case, thank you again for this new tool, it is certainly perfectible, but very simple to use, and I sincerely think that it will allow a greater number of people to understand the many use cases made possible thanks to image recognition.
Thank you again

It would be great to have the ability to use a word file as a template and create a pdf as the output which can be emailed to a list of emails through alteryx.
There is currently no way to export interactive output from the network graph tool. I would like to be able to export a png of the static network graph image, a pdf of the report, and a complete html of the whole (which means including the JSON and vis.js files necessary for creating the report).
It would be good to be able to fix pie chart colours (either automatically of manually), so that when building a report, categories are given the same colour throughout the report across multiple pie charts. Currently, if the number of categories being shown varies, there is no way to manually align the colours (In the Bar Chart type there is a Style Mode for the Series where you can use a formula to assign a colour based on a criteria such as the name, but not for pie charts).
I want modification of the Email Tool to support running it at a specific point, defined by developer, within a workflow where currently "The Email tool will always be the last tool to run in a workflow".
We use the tool to send notification of completion of jobs and sometimes attach outputs but we would like to be able to also send notifications at the start or at key points within a workflows processing. Currently the email tool is forced to be the last tool run in a flow, even if you use block until done tool to force order of path execution to hit the email tool first.
If we could add a setting to the configuration to override the current default, of being the last tool run, to allow it to run at will within a flow that would be awesome! And of course we would want the same ability for texting, be it a new feature of the email tool or a new tool all its own.
The Texting option refers to an issue in Andrew Hooper's post seeking enhancement of the email tool for texting, search on "Email tool add HTML output option" or use link...
Since we use Mosaic extensively we would like for the colors used in the Interactive Chart tool to be assigned by a value in order to match Experian's color assignments. For example, if [Mosaic] = “A01” then use RGB 77/72/ 133.
Thanks for the consideration.
I understand that the font types available for Interactive Charts is limited to 3 fonts. For tables and other parts of reporting there are more options. This makes it difficult to create a consistent report layout including e..g. one font type. I guess it is not to difficult to add all fonts available in reporting to the interactive chart tool?
Most organizations have rules for password expiry every 60-90 days. We have to go into each workflow that has an email tool and update it manually and reschedule it.
If the username and password for an email tool is coming from a field, we can then use a macro to update it.
While completing the weekly challenge number 98, @patrick_digan and I noticed some unexpected behaviours while processing images.
Details:
When doing basic functions on fields containing reporting snippets - these fields lose their type and cease to work as reporting snippets. Detail in screenshots below.
This is the workflow
You can see that the report snippets are appropriately marked
Very basic formula -for most fields there is no change made
You can see here that the reporting snippets have now benen broken
Browsing / rendering is now broken
When I put a map snippet into a report, there is no border. Therefore, road segments just terminate into whitespace.
Please add an option to create a border around the map snippet.Map With No Border

Hello all,
When you copy and paste a layout tool to keep the formatting you just spent hours fixing it goes away as soon as you paste it. This is infuriating. Please keep the formatting from resting upon pasting.
Attached are pictures of a copy and pasted layout tool connected to the same incoming data source.
You can clearly see that the order and formatting has been removed. #Infuriating

Hi,
Would it be possible to add additional sections to the 'Summarise Tool' such as one for dates so that you might be able to group by Year, Month, Quarter, Week or a combination of all these. There are other extensions that could also be considered such as group with nulls or without that would make this tool far more usable and not dependent on data manipulation prior to it; you might offer to have all nulls grouped and called something else for readability and this shouldn't be very hard at all to implement.
Kind regards,
Peter
It would be good to be able to constrain the size of an image in the vertical direction as well as the horizontal. I am currently working on a report that has an image in the middle of a page of text. If the user inputs an image that is not the same size as my test image, it can push text onto the next page which ruins the report. Having the image next to the text and constraining horizontally is not an option with this project.
The #bandofsolvers community has come up with many creative ways to determine if an 'output' action is complete before proceeding with next steps. However, what we really need is an optional output anchor added to (all?) tools in this class.
For example, currently if we need to Output Data to the same file 3 times, we have to put logic in place to make sure that the 3 updates happen in the correct sequence and do not interfere with each other. Or if we need to Render a file and perform additional modifications or file actions on that new file (e.g. ACL using icacls), we have to put checks in place to wait for the render to complete and make sure the file is freed by the write step.
However, if we could have at minimum an optional output anchor pass a Boolean flag indicating the 'output' class tool is complete, that would help tremendously! Even more helpful would be a xml/json object containing the tool configuration. Additionally, data/metadata 'pass-through' could be helpful in some situations as well.
I understand that this simple request could be significant change to the structure of the program, but throwing it out there for the 'Idea' space! 🙂
I was discussing these suggestions with our Account Manager last year and was advised that they would be taken into consideration for the planned 2018 Reporting upgrades. When I inquired about the status, I was advised to post here.
Description: I have configured a number of customized MapServer files rather than having to manually configure each layer in the ReportMap tool.
For reference, these are stored in the <Alteryx Data Install Folder>\AlteryxMap\TomTom_US_2015_Q3, for the TomTom US - Current Vintage reference base map. Below is a picture of the many versions of the .map configuration file I have created.
Rationale: Using these different files is cumbersome and inefficient. To switch out a map file, I have to rename the current .map file to a dummy name. Then I have to rename the desired file to be the name that the existing file was. Additionally, I can only have one .map file in use at any one time and all of the workflows running use the same one.
Idea: Allow user to choose which .map file to use from within the Report Map tool.
Within the mapping tool, please add an alignment option (left/center/right) within the label options (when wrapping).
I am frequently using comments within my containers to tell an engaging story to my business Audience about the workflow I have built. However, whenever I start adding, removing, moving tools etc within containers these comments don't remain static within the relative position of the container and drift into positions that I have to manually adjust.
From a time saving perspective it would be great if I could:
1. fix the position of comment within a container and
2. Group comments in a way similar to how you can group objects in Visio and Photoshop
