Alteryx Designer Desktop Ideas

Currently users have the option of outputting to a PNG image but currently can only use Inches to get the size set. I want to be able to output with a pixel size not in inches. 

I would like to be able to connect to an AWS EMR resource.

And an AWS gov cloud endpoint.

While doing Find replace with the following settings,

The output limits to the number of characters comes with "Replace source". If the number of characters in "Replace  Found Text With Value" is more than the source then it will truncate the value to source. I feel it's not correct. 

Suggesting, that there should be an option to overwrite the "field size" or keep as it coming from source.

A lot of business processes require encryption and decryption, for either data transfer or authentication processes.  It would be great if Alteryx could expose some of the C# encryption functions from the System.Security.Cryptography library, as either functions in the Formula tool, or as new tools. 

I know that some of these algorithms require byte input, so a new tool might be the sensible option, so that user can pass various data types that are pre-coded to byte arrays before going into the algorithms.

I get the following message when running a macro with the Render tool inside

" Alteryx ppt testing1 (162) Tool #26: You have found a bug. Replicate, then let us know. We shall fix it soon."

I believe this happens when there is multiple line breaks next to each other and trying to put this into the render tool outputting to powerpoint within a table.I have the formula for updating the line breaks "Replace([Layout],"&lt;br /&gt;","<br />")" which works when there aren't very many line breaks but now I have integrated Python to regex out HTML the Render tool has stopped working

Migrate old R based charts and create new statistical charts in the interactive chart tool to provide enhanced statistical charting and visual data exploration capabilities.

This includes:

• Error Bars
• Distribution Plots
• 2D Histograms
• Scatterplot Matrix
• Facet & Trellis Plots
• Tree Plots
• Violin Plots
• Heatmaps
• Log Plots
• Parallel Coordinates Plot

This these URLs for more examples:

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.

needs a much simpler way to configure this tool. Its way more obfuscated than it needs to be and the wording on the config is very confusing.

Issue

Im troubleshooting a workflow with around 4,400 tools, breaking into separate workflows, and leveraging the crew macros to run the workflow sequence.  Well- I changed a few file names and have an interesting disaster where I need to go tool by tool to verify everything is properly configured.  

Solution

I used tool containers to group and label sections of tools to be organized, but it was becoming difficult to navigate the ocean of tool clusters.  So- I used blank comment boxes in the tool containers.  If everything works in the container, I made the comment box green.  If something is broken, I made it red.  From there, I made all of the red comment boxes green to make sure everything was diligently reviewed.  

New Cool Idea

Troubleshooting mode- make it easy to flip a lighthouse switch on the tool containers.  Colors are great for categories, but this makes it easy to focus or highlight containers with maybe a cool retro looking switch. 

Peace, Love, and Workflows....

It would be great if it was possible to output the top most influential features in producing the score for each individual entity/row when using the predictive and machine learning tools.

Similar to the way they work in DataRobot. Details here and here.

This would enable some simple interpretation of how a model came to an individual prediction and the most important features in that particular row/case.

With the Join Multiple tool, a connector line isn't colored correctly all the way to the input anchor.

I'm on version 2019.4

Example:  My Join Multiple has 4 inputs

When I click the output anchor on a Select tool that feeds into Input #1 in the Join Multiple, the connector is colored blue for only a portion of the distance to the Join Multiple tool.

Example: When I click the input anchor on the Join Multiple, the connector line isn't blue all the way to the prior Select tool.

Example of how the incorrect coloring can be confusing:

When the two tools are aligned horizontally, clicking the Select tool makes it look like it's not connected to the Join Multiple.

And clicking the Join Multiple makes it look like it's not connected to the Select.

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! 

In the Union Field, we have the option to manually configure fields.  This is currently done horizontally, which makes it difficult to see every field (if dealing with lots of columns), if we could have a tick-box, and switch this to vertical, then we could use a view similar to the select field. 

Thanks

There are currently 7 data types related to numeric values, including byte.  Simply and standardize the way Alteryx handles numeric values.  Condense the numeric data types to one and provide a way to control the decimal places by indicating how many are needed to the right of the decimal.  The current numeric datatypes are confusing and do not behave the same with the formulas functions, like Round.

Adopt the standard numeric functions seen across multiple tools and languages like Excel, SQL, etc;  like RoundUp, RoundDown, AbsoluteValue, Integer, etc.  

Could you please support Redshift as well?

Hello Alteryx fans and Devs!

For the Summarise tool - would it be useful to have a "Rank" option for the potential Summarise options we can use? Just a thought!

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.

Hello,

I really apologized if this has been posted before with some other title.

I started with Alteryx month ago and I am really trying to replicate some cool stuff for which we used to write ETL code in Python and loved it.

I saw a lot of posts regarding a Join Tool for left outer join or right outer join. While using Alteryx as a new person even I was confused with the Join tool since I was missing on numbers and ratios then I used Union Tool to union left and inner anchor of the output for the desired output.

I believe there should be a checkbox in the Join Tool for the Union Tool option.

I know its just a matter of dragging one more tool on Canvas but this is regarding with more flexibility and ease of use for every Alteryx user.

Thank you.

Regards,

Owais
