When a macro that is not "installed" is inserted to a workflow (from a folder), its dependency can also be modified (including the macro inputs, if there are any) from the Workflow Dependencies settings.

 

I would like to suggest that the macro tools and the relevant files have separate buttons for dependency configurations.

 

One use case for this would be when a user saves a workflow in a specific location after configuring the paths as All Relative and moving the workflow to an entirely different folder afterwards, making it difficult to find the original location of the macro used in the workflow, also introducing the chance of breaking the workflow when opened and saved with the undefined (question mark sign) macro tool if the underlying workflow XML is not examined by a text editor.

There are currently many encoding options (see also: Input Tool Has Limited Varieties of Code Pages) that are available for use with Alteryx Designer (https://help.alteryx.com/2018.2/CodePages.htm), however only a certain number of them can be directly accessed from the interface. Providing the user an option to enable all possible encoding options (from User Settings) for the applicable tools could eliminate the need for building an analytic app just to pass the output encoding parameter to i.e. the Input/Output/Run Command tools.

 

One case this could be useful is when there are file/folder names with non-English characters and a Run Command tool is used to execute an operation regarding moving something from/to the folder, where the only option is to use an OEM encoding to be able to correctly pass the file/folder name information, otherwise the characters are not read correctly by CMD.

I would like to Alteyx making a New Warning(Int type)

If a decimal point occurs during division of Int type data, the digits are truncated.

example
1/3 = 0.333333, but
If it is of type Int, it will be displayed as 0.

I know that the Int type is defined as an integer, but
I would like to Alteryx making a warning if the operation does not result in an integer.

Then we should be able to detect errors.

 

Thanks!

Hi Team,

 

Hope you are well. I am currently tasked with downloading the contracts from SAP for my analysis.

Is it possible to develop an app or automation which can go to SAP asks for user/Pwd and download the contracts/PDFs to a specific folder?

 

Please let me know your thoughts,

 

Thanks,

Sri

Salesforce Connector:

I just want to see what credentials I have used. I do not want to change them. A link to "view the data" and not only "Change Credentials"  would be helpful.

 

Also, when replacing connectors (due to a version change), it makes sense not to reassign the objects and fields and keep the old settings.
