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

Thank you again.

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.

Similar to being able change the parameters of a tool using the interface tools, it could be very useful if Alteryx Designer had an option where the configuration of a tool can be modified by another tool's output (which can only consist of one row & column and may include line breaks/tab characters, only first row is used if there are multiple rows) while the workflow is running, therefore reducing the need to chain multiple apps.
This feature could be made possible as the "Control Containers" feature is now implemented, and it could work like below:
Suppose you need to write to a database and may need to specify a Pre-SQL statement or Query that needs to be dynamically changed by the result of a previous tool in the workflow.
In this case, as the configuration of a tool in the next container needs to be changed by the result of a previous formula, there would need to be an additional icon below the tools, indicating that the tool's result can be used for configuration change.
This icon which will appear below the tools will only be visible once at least one Control Container and an Action tool is added to the workflow, and will automatically be removed if all the control containers are removed from the workflow. User can change the configuration of the destination tool using an action tool, which must be connected to a tool in a container that will be run after the one it is contained in has finished running, as a tool (or several tools) that is contained in the next CC in the workflow needs to be dynamically modified before the container it is contained in is activated.
If a formula tool containing multiple formula fields is added to the action tool, the user will see all the formula outputs similar to connections (i.e. [#1], [#2]...) that can be used as a parameter.
The screenshot below demonstrates the idea, but please note that this is a change where adding an action tool may not mean that this workflow will need to become either a macro or an analytic app, so a new workflow type may or may not have to be defined, such as "Dynamic Configuration Workflow (YXDW)". Analytic Apps and Macros which utilize this feature could still be built without having to define a new workflow type.
Providing user the ability to paste a tool with one of the three options regarding connections:
- Paste with Incoming Connections,
- Paste with Outgoing Connections (where applicable),
- Paste with Both Connections (where applicable)
could make it easier to configure the workflows where many incoming and/or outgoing connections are necessary for a specific source or target tool (i.e. a certain mapping table joined to several data streams in the same workflow after being modified with a formula tool to match with a specific stream).
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
I have a use case where I am transitioning workflows to someone -
One workflow leverages the outputs of one workflow as inputs in to another - it would be awesome if I could include a link on a tool or comment box that would automatically open the exact output tool. Right now I am taking pictures and mentioning the names of files and tool-ids. Seems like it would be an easier way.
Consider, for a moment, Standard Macros as old-school Subroutines in which you would have a library of Subroutines that could be invoked from numerous code sets. Each Subroutine could have any number of arguments, and when the Subroutine is invoked, the calling code provides the arguments and their values to the Subroutine.
You can do this in Alteryx - but with a very large but. The source field names being passed to the Standard Macro have to be the same field names the Standard Macro is expecting. To make the Standard Macros more "library friendly" - allow the calling workflow to alias fields in the dataset for the sole purpose of sending them to the Macro.
Example: Standard Macro that returns a Vendor ID based on a Location and Item Number.
Macro Input: Location ID, Item Number
Calling Workflow has: Purchase Location and Item Code
The Macro on the calling workflow would have a mapping:
Data Set Object | Macro Input Object |
Purchasing Location | Location ID |
Item Code | Item Number |

One of the task in my process is to convert the Pdf to excel sheet for all content.
Pdf content will all depend upon the number details available.
Pdf contain table format detail.
We would like see all the pages of pdf should be in excel sheet with proper format including Table provided in pdf.
I tried multiple ways but unable to find easiest way of handing the auto fit the all the column in final output. If we have already could you please help me with the solution.
if not - can we create one additional tool which auto fit and align the data type accordingly.
2 issue is about post I bifurcate the excel sheet data with multiple workbook data type doesn't show proper. for example Main file contain string and numeric value. post the bifurcate all the number still shows string value only due to every cell has green tick mark.
Hi
In a toold like select it would be nice to place curser in Field - and type the first letter of the fields you want to browse through.:
By pressing F here I would just across fields that starts with F.
Sometimes you want to preserve the field order from the sorce, and if you have many fields it takes a while.
Or beeing able to filter - just like in excel:
Same goes for formula box:
Beeing able to click D as an example and click though coloumns starting with D.
I always get a chuckle out of seeing PowerPoint presentations which, through numerous tables and illustrations show the "health" of "x" - where "x" is a customer, a market, business division, etc. - where the author spent hours creating graphical indicators such as arrows to render trends.
Recalling being provided such a deck from a senior leader who was touting how precisely the deck drew attention to areas of needed action. The deck, in this case, was a 6 figure investment from a consulting firm. My unwelcomed response was, "Pretty pictures, nice illustrations. What happens when business shifts tomorrow and we need to see this updated?" There was no response.
In a different past life, I had the opportunity to create a similar deck, but utilized PowerPoint's ability to link to Excel, and VBA that made the tables graphs - and trending arrows all dynamic based on the data.
This feature request, however, is not about me. The dynamic slide deck solution was a windfall. Alteryx workflows can certainly push dynamic data into .xlsm files to lighten the burden on the .xslm by eliminating the data pull.
BUT - not many organizations care for having production .xlsm files in use, and they're difficult to governance control.
Would be GREAT if one of Alteryx's output options was: A PowerPoint
Give the developer the same ability to render "pages" as one would to populate Worksheets in a Workbook.
Have to believe would be a game changer for the product.
i investigate a super messy and huge workflow, i have a hard time to trace back the data stream.
it only have around 5 wireless connection, some is easy to find, but some are connect to union..
if have a button to turn all connection back to wire, and better if have option for just solid for temp to show as solid line. it will helps alot.
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.
When we rename a field in canvas it breaks a lot of formulas or config on tools like select tool or unique tool or summarize tool. If designer can automatically update these new field names in all the further tools if will save us a lot of time.
Thanks,

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.
Please introduce functionality whereby users can pull up a listing of all input data connections leveraging database queries. This would be exceedingly useful in instances where users can either individually or bulk edit various connection configurations, such as:
This would be far more useful than scanning through the canvas looking for all of the input tools. Especially if the workflow is highly complex leveraging multiple inputs to various data sources. You could also incorporate a link for users to click on to take them to the point in the canvas where the input tool is located.
I annotate every single tool, every single time. I treat a workflow like documentation. It would be helpful to use markdown in the annotations.
