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

After using the PCA can there be a model object to output to be able to "score" new data?
Similar to PCA transform here https://stackoverflow.com/questions/26182329/how-do-i-convert-new-data-into-the-pca-components-of-my...
As currently there is no way to use this model with new data
Hello all,
Here the issue : I have a workflow in my One Drive folder
In that workflow, I use a macro that writes a file with a relative path (..\6_Big_Data\EN\.csv ) :
Strangely, it doesn't work and the error message seems to relate to a folder that doesn't exist (but also, not the one I have set)
ErrorLink: Output Data (1): https://community.alteryx.com/t5/*/*/ta-p/724327?utm_source=designer&utm_medium=resultsgrid|Cannot access the folder C:\Users\saubert\OneDrive - Business & Decision\Documents\B&D_Market\6_Big_Data\EN\.
I really would like that to work :)
Best regards,
Simon
Sometimes, Control Containers produce error messages even if they are deactivated by feeding an empty table into their input connection.
(Note that this is a made up example of something which can happen if input tables might be from different sources and have different columns so that they need separated treatment.)
According to the product team, this is expected behaviour since a selection does not allow zero columns selected. This might be true (which I doubt a bit), but it is at least counter-intuitive. If this behaviour cannot be avoided in total, I have a proposal which would improve the user experience without changing the entire workflow validation logic.
(The support engineer understands the point and has raised a defect.)
Instead of writing messages inside Control Containers directly to the log output (on screen, in logfile) and to mark the workflow as erroneous, I propose to introduce a message (message, warning, error) stack for tools inside Control Containers:
This would result in a different sequence of messages than today (because everything inside activated Control Containers would be reported later than today). Since there’s no logical order of messages anyways, this would not matter. And it would avoid the apparently illogical case that deactivated Control Containers produce errors.
Please consider implementing a consistent case-sensitive option for all tools and functions.
To compare string values, including case-sensitivity: This post had a good description of the challenge, but the post has been archived:
For all the time I've used Alteryx, I thought that IF "test" = "TEST" would evaluate to false. Today I realised that isn't the case and I was surprised. I'm very surprised that "equals" performs like it does.
A few existing Ideas request case-sensitivity for individual tools:
Case insensitive option while joining two data sets
https://community.alteryx.com/t5/Alteryx-Designer-Desktop-Ideas/Case-insensitive-option-while-joinin...
Unique tool enhancement - deal with case sensitive data
https://community.alteryx.com/t5/Alteryx-Designer-Desktop-Ideas/Unique-tool-enhancement-deal-with-ca...
This new Idea requests system-wide consideration for case-sensitivity, for all tools and functions.
Current state:
These tools and functions are case-sensitive:
These tools and functions are NOT case-sensitive:
These tools and functions can be either case-sensitive or NOT case-sensitive, depending on the options used:
Current Challenges:
How do we easily identify Lower Case, Upper Case, Mixed Case?
How do we easily compare strings for equality, using case sensitivity?
Request:
Ensure all tools and functions include an option to ignore or consider Case
Create new functions for IsUpperCase, IsLowerCase, IsMixedCase
Create a new function for IsEqual, with an option to ignore or consider Case

When working in the Designer, I sometimes have to undo changes. And this experience is quite often very confusing and annoying.
For every change in the workflow, you have to press undo once. However, quite often, one user interaction results in other actions such as automatic move of the donwstream tool, change of size of a tool container etc. In such cases, you have inserted a single tool but need to press undo a couple of times to get back to the original situation. It is, however, often not clear how often. In most cases, I fail using undo at the end and revert my changes by hand.
Please change undo towards undoing one user-action in one undo step.
In case there might be users who like the current behaviour, you might make this a user setting how to deal with the undo history.
One of the most frequent issues I have with my workflow is when the Join Tool reorders columns for no reason. There is an option in the configuration to have the columns revert to the incoming order. It would be nice if the workflow automatically had this set as a default, or provide a toggle option in the settings for this to happen. In many of my flows I've had to create macros to keep the integrity of the column order or remember to go into the settings of this tool and re order the columns before a workflow run.
I think we can all agree that Workflow Summary Tool is immensely powerful in summarizing large and/or complicated workflows. However, some companies have begun to bar the use of certain GenAI applications, like ChatGPT. Unfortunately this makes the use of the Workflow Summary Tool impossible. At the same time those companies are allowing the use of other forms of GenAI, like AzureAI.
In the Workflow Summary tool, it would be nice to have the capability to select which GenAI engine you want to use (ChatGPT, AzureAI, etc) so that you don't break corporate policy by using barred applications. This could simply be a dropdown in the GUI configuration for the Workflow Summary Tool with a list of the most common engines. The user would then supply their API key for that engine, and you're off to the races.
Would be nice to have a way to cache-uncache all inputs or a selected group of tools. Caching and Uncaching workflows with many input tools or slow data-read tools gets to be a bit cumbersome. Would be a nice QoL improvement :)
I looked around for something like this but didn't see a solution, so thought I'd recommend. Please let me know if something like this exists already natively in designer desktop.
If you cancel a workflow while its writing into a file, the file creation will not be rollbacked and hence a partial file would have been created.
This is problematic when working with incremental load relying on file from the past.
Hello All,
I'm using the dynamic input tool for SQL requests in my Workflow (WF).
I'm using the "Replace a Specific String" to replace elements in the SQL statement dynamically depeding on results of prevoius tools, user input etc.
So the statement looks like
select * from Schema_Name_xx where invoice_number = 'invoice_number_xx'
Since Schema_Name_xx is no valid Schema in the Database, the statement (= Validation) won't work. Only if I replace Schema_Name_xx by e.g. Invoice_Data_Current it will work, same with the invoice number, invoice_number_xx is replaced by e.g. 4711.
Therefore, validation makes no sense and will never work, only if the WF is running, the correct Schema is inserted in the SQL statement by the "Replace a Specific String" function.
It would be great to disable it in the users settings or wherever in the Designer, changing a config file would also be great :-)
Pls. note: I'm thinking (since I'm not allowed anyway ;-)) about changing/disabeling anything in the Alteryx Server settings.
Reason:
1. Speed: Validating a WF with SQL statements that don't work takes time (every time I save it), sometimes I get even a timeout...
2. WF error entries: Each upload with a failed validation creates an entry in the WF result list which makes it harder to seperate them from the "real" WF errors...
Thanks & Best Regards,
Thomas
Containers are a great feature. They allow us to create larger workflows in smaller canvases, and manage the flow and appearance of our work. However the design whether intentional or flawed that allows the container window to interact with the layers behind it is annoying. Connection wires should not redirect within a container because of things on the canvas behind the container. Likewise if I have a container open, I should not be able to grab a tool or container behind the open container through the container canvas. Please fix this flaw.

Currently, the "SQL editor" window only contain a box for typing text in, we could not see the schema and table on it's side as a reference, we need to jump back and force between "Visual Query Builder" and "SQL Editor" search for table and column names. If we could see the database schema and table in the SQL Editor interface, it will save us a lot of time.
Hello all,
As of today, if you have admin and non-admin version of Alteryx Designer installed on your computer, and install Business Intelligence Suite, you are able to run either version. It will not run both versions. This means whatever reason you installed admin and non-admin version, Business Intelligence Suite will run with only one Designer.
I installed my computer Alteryx Designer 22.3 non-admin and 23.1 admin versions, both Predictive Analytics. I also installed BI Suite admin version, and BI suite non-admin version. Alteryx will uninstalled admin version, and kept non-admin version of the BI Suite. So, I can use BI Suite only with non-admin version now.
I'm bringing this idea for your vote to make available for both profiles/versions within Designer.
Thanks for voting
Hi there,
When connecting to data sources using DCM - could we please add the ability to make JDBC connections?
see:
https://community.alteryx.com/t5/Engine-Works/JDBC-Connections-in-Alteryx/ba-p/968782
As mentioned in these threads - JDBC is very common in large enterprises - and in many cases is better supported by the technology teams / developer community and so is much easier to make a connection. Added to this - there are many databases (e.g. DB2) where JDBC connections are just much easier
Please could you add JDBC connections to the DCM tooling?
Thank you
Sean

Hi
I think its super frustrating not beeing able to search for dates, or date ranges in the result window.
Lets say I have a dataset with 2 dates, date picked up and date delivered.
Then I need to search broad in the result window, for a given date. With search in both coloumns.
Could we please have a simple specific date search, and maybe a from-to date? Like in the filter?
Or go all the way and look at excel date filter?
Kind regards
The Interactive Chart configure window cannot be resized. I'm using a single, large monitor, and this window occupies the entire monitor so that I am forced to switch between windows to see other applications. Most of the space used by the configure window is wasted white space. Please update this to allow this window to be resized.
I'm using a 32:9 monitor running at 5120x1440, and the attached screenshot shows the size of the configure window on this monitor - 4986x1286.
Hello!
I had found this quirk whilst working on a fairly large workflow, where i had multiple tools cached to keep things quick. I had moved one of the tools on the canvas to a pre-existing container, and it removed the caching on my whole workflow.
Steps to reproduce:
1) setup a super basic workflow (or any workflow):
2) Cache part of the workflow:
3) drag one of the tools (in this case the formula) into the container:
As you can see, the workflow is no longer cached and i have to re-cache it.
This would be a welcome change as that is an unexpected behaviour to me, and so I would imagine others too. A workflow no longer being cached can cost the developer a lot of time (and potential resource, if hitting a Snowflake instance, for example).
Thanks,
TheOC
All the other file types have different coloured icons and it works well to differentiate them in a directory. Its impossible to differentiate workflows and database icons currently.
