Hello,
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

I would like to see the same functionalitly that the Output Tool has in the Render tool. In the Output Tool, you can specify the Excel Worksheet along with the Sheet Name that you want to output too. Meaning Same Worksheet, different tab:
C:Output FilesExample_Worksheet.xlsx|Report_1 C:Output FilesExample_Worksheet.xlsx|Report_2
This functionality is not currently available in the Render Tool and would be very useful and cut out some manual operations on the back end that requires us to copy/paste from one file to another.
I tried using the Section Break technique that was offered as a suggestion, but it did not perform what I needed.

Within the mapping tool, please add an alignment option (left/center/right) within the label options (when wrapping).

When using ./*.csv for an input (relative path and wildcard), a preview does not show in the Properties area of the input tool. Can this be added?

Right now the browse results are only available while a workflow is open. It would be great if they could be saved until the next run, because sometimes I have to do things in stages, saving and closing a workflow, then continuing on it another time. I would love to have the browse results fromt the last run still be there until I re-run it.

It would be great if Alteryx developed an option to keep data transformations and additions already ran through the module. After adding new tools to the module, then the module would keep all of the data already transformed or added up to that point and would only spend time running the data through any new tools added after that point.
It would save the analyst a lot of time when developing big and complex modules.

It would be great if there was an option to compute 'median' on numerical data column in 'cross-tab' tool. We trust 'median' a lot more than 'average' in many different computations.
I would stretch my suggestion far enough to propose adding quantile computations as well...
Thanks!

I'd like to vote up this idea of having marketo input connector having access to extrac data from other objects outside leads.
Here is the latest Marketo Analytics resources that are available. Anybody else encounter this bottleneck when trying to source the data out of Alteryx?

Also, it would be nice to be able to use a json-file as input in a simple manner.

The format of these is always:
For Excel, create a summary sheet and set as the first tab, then create detailed sheets as additional tabs in the same .xlsx file.
The summary sheet always has the same fields, but the fields may reference different detail tabs day to day.
After the output, I can manually open Excel and change the field to a formula that references the other tabs (hyperlink function).
It would be great if I could just type the hyperlink formula in Alteryx and have that embedded into the Excel output.
The same goes for PDFs, except I would reference other pages (or if using PDF portfolio I would reference other PDFs in the same portfolio).

It would be much nicer to just have a little corner of all icons to have a sub icon or something I can click on to see output. Multi output could be a little more tricky ... so better yet, maybe have small browse icons on the connectors you can click on for results of that feed?
Then have a menu option to turn all off/on.

Can you add the flexibility to access fields based on its position or index like a[1], a[2],... a[n]. a[1] being the first column. Also an option to get max[a] can give the last column and min[a] give the first column. In this way, we can easily subset the dataset. Most cases, we are handling survey data which has 1000s of columns and when we need to select certain columns, we have to manually select the column checkbox and its painful to select 100s of columns. It will be nice if there is an option to select based on ID or index. It will also be useful while doing multi-field formula with more number of fields, because currently there is no option to write formulaes based on field Name column in it.

Jeeva.

When designing batch macros, there currently is not an easy, built-in way to test or debug their functionality. There are two reasons to build a batch macro:
1) to reconfigure the macro at run time, just as if they were the answers to questions in the macro GUI;
2) to group the records going in the macro inputs into batches.
If I am designing a macro to perform the 1st function -- reconfigure the macro at run time -- I need to be able to test its functionality in a debug module.
The Interface Designer's "Test view" window should provide this ability by allowing you to type an example control parameter value. However, the Test View window only allows you to "dropdown" to a value via a dropdown box. This dropdown box is always empty, thus never allowing you to enter a test control parameter. I think the Interface Designer's "Test View" window should allow control parameters to act like "Text Boxes" and allow the designer to manually edit a control parameter for a debug module.
I've attached a screenshot of a simple, two control parameter batch macro. As you can see, in the Interface Designer, I don't have a way of inputting a value in either control parameter field to open a debug module.
