Be sure to review our Idea Submission Guidelines for more information!
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

Hello,
I think the option Overwrite File (Remove) shouldn't throw an error if the file is not present
Or, I don't know, make 2 options : one with fail if file is missing, the other to not fail.
This idea is the same than https://community.alteryx.com/t5/Alteryx-Designer-Ideas/Overwrite-Table-for-output-write-indb-should... but for files.
Best regards,

When configuring a FILTER tool, the results of your formula are uncertain until you RUN/PLAY the workflow. Compare that experience with the configuration of a FORMULA tool where you see a "Data Preview" of the first record results.
TRUE or FALSE could readily be added to the Filter Tool and save the execution time for the workflow.
When you get to HTML tool versions, you could check many rows of data and potentially give back counts of TRUE and FALSE results as well.
I'll put this on my x-mas list and see if Santa has me on the naughty or nice list.
Cheers,
Mark
Hello All,
As of today, Alteryx can use the proxy settings set in Windows Network and Internet Settings "Server pulls the proxy settings displayed in Engine > Proxy from the Windows internet settings for the user logged into the machine. If there are no proxy settings for the user logged into the machine, Engine > Proxy isn't available within the System Settings menu.". Then, you can override the credentials (but not the adress) in system settings but also in user settings.
The issue : in many organizations, there are several proxies that you can use for different use case. And by default, it can happen access to API are blocked by these proxies. The user, which is not admin cannot change his Windows Settings... and even if it's done by IT, it will impact all the system, including other software and leading to safety failures.
What I suggest :
-ability to change credentials AND adress
-a multi-level settings for both credentials and adress:
default : Windows Settings
System Settings
User Settings
Workflow Settings

Data Cleansing Tool: There should be a sub-category on the "Punctuation" cleansing. Ideally to have an option to "Include Only" or conversely "Exclude these characters" which would allow you for example to remove all characters except "." from a dollar formatted field . There are times when you need to clean almost everything except a certain punctuation or not.
Hello,
We use the pre-sql statement of the input to set some parameters of connections. Sadly, we cannot do that in a in-db workflow. This would be a total game-changing feature for us.

In the dynamic input tool,
Where you “Read a List of Data Sources”, there should be a radio button below the “Action” field, to
“INCLUDE FIELD OF DATA SOURCES”,
Then you’d have an output field with the isolated name from which the data was sourced. You wouldn't be required to "include full file path" then parse out the sheet the data came from.
Would love to see an option to disable a specific Output tool (rather than the global "Disable All Tools that Write Output" option). I'm envisioning the inverse of the Email tool, where there is a checkbox to enable Email... rather, the Output tool could have a check box that would disable that output (and ONLY that output), similar/consistent with the "Disable All Tools" function. A "Disable This Output" check box. The benefits would be a quick way to make sure not to overwrite something in one output (but still getting all the good content in all the other outputs) rather than having to go through the multiple clicks of adding to a container and then disabling the container. Could have benefits for connecting with Action tools/interface toggles as well. It would likely need to contain the same/similar formatting in Designer to indicate it has been disabled, though maybe a slightly different color so you could tell it was disabled differently?
(On a similar vein, would love to take this opportunity to bring up my favorite idea-that-has-not-been-implemented-yet-that-would-love-your-vote-and-attention, implementing a Warning that outputs are disabled when posting to Gallery...)

In Japan, the prople usually use the date format "yyyy/mm/dd". But there is no preset in Date tool. So I usually use custom setting, but it is the waste of time.
So please add yyyy/mm/dd format to the preset in Date tool configuration for Japanese people.
Hello there!
Currently the email tool has the following configuration:
It is a fairly easy tool to use - however one part that I would like to be improved is testing the SMTP settings - similar to how it is done on the Alteryx Server. It would be awesome to have a button as part of this page, that would send a test email, and return true/display to the user that the email sent correctly. This would stop the need to setup dummy data and a dummy output to test a connection before rolling the email tool out into a live environment/use-case.
I imagine something along these lines for this functionality:
Clicking test (and passing):
Clicking test (and failing):

When using the unknown field in a select, you can either select or deselect the fields which will appear afterwards.
I would love to have an option or different to specify elements for fields to appear for instance having :
and for dates too
it would set a default behaviour for incoming text fields or numeric fields allowing for more precise deselction too.
Hello all,
as of today, a join in-db can only be done with an equal operator.
Example : table1.customer_id = table2.customer_id
It's sufficient most of the time. However, sometimes, you need to perform another kind of join operation, (especially with calendar, period_table, etc).
Here an example of clause you can find in existing sql
inner join calendar on calendar.id_year_month between fact.start_period and fact.end_period
helping to solve that case :
(the turnaround I use to day being : I make a full cartesian product with a join on 1=1 and then I filter the lines for the between)
or <,>, .... et caetera.
It can very useful to solve the most difficult issues. Note that a product like Tableau already offers this feature.

This year, Microsoft updated improve their API (GraphAPI) to access Office365 enviroment.
Alteryx have launched on Microsoft District in Public Gallery the Dataverse , Onedrive & Sharepoint Connectors.
Alteryx must develop as soon as possible an connector/email with same authenticator options as connectors Above and improve the emails settings.
It´s important to release and documentation to show wich permissions on Azure it's necssary to send the emails.

Credit to @pgdelafuente in his post Export Variables from Assisted Modelling Feature I... - Alteryx Community
This came up in a call with a large client - basically there's no easy way to output the feature importance plot, the accuracy metrics of the selected model (i.e. root mean squared error, correlation, max error, etc.). I would assume this is an easy addition into the Assisted Modeling tools, and perhaps useful for some of the Predictive tools!
Currently the install of AIS is tied to a specific version of Designer. However due to the feature changes being brought to AIS it would be great to be able to upgrade the AIS install separate to the version of Designer.
It might be that this is only possible for a certain number releases, due to underlying dependencies such as python version, but it would be great for example that I could get the newer AIS features without needing to upgrade Designer (which is set by IT policy).
Hello all,
OLEDB is usually way faster than ODBC so that the way to connect we promote. However, the new DCM only works for ODBC connection, which is quite strange.

Hi UX interested parties,
Here are some ideas for you to consider:
1. These lines are BORING and UNINFORMATIVE. I'd like to understand (pic = 1,000 words) more when looking at a workflow.
If you look at lines A, B, C in the picture above. Nothing is communicated. Weight of line, color of line, type of line, beginning line marker/ending line marker, these are all potential ways that we could see a picture of the data without having to get into browse everywhere to see the information. If we hover over the data connection, even more information could appear (e.g. # of records, size of file) without having to toggle the configuration parameters.
2. Wouldn't it be nice to not have to RUN a workflow to know last SAVED metadata (run) of a workflow? I'd like to open a "saved" workflow and know what to expect when I run the workflow. Heck, how long does it take the beast to run is something that we've never seen unless we run it.
3. I'd like to set the metadata to display SORT keys, order. Sort1 Asc, Sort 2 Desc .... This sort information is very helpful for the engine and I'll likely post about that thought. As a preview, when a JOIN tool has sorted data and one of the anchors is at EOF, then why do we need to keep reading from the other anchor? There won't be another matched record (J) anchor. In my example above, we don't ask for the L/R outputs, so why worry about the rest of the join?
4. Have you ever seen a map (online) that didn't display watermark information? I think that the canvas experience should allow for a default logo (like mine above, but transparent) in the lower right corner of the canvas that is visible at all times. Having the workflow name at the top in a tab is nice, but having it display as a watermark is handy.
5. Once the workflow has RUN, all anchors are the same color. How about providing GREY/White or something else on EMPTY anchors instead of the same color? This might help newbies find issues in JOIN configuration too.
6. If the tool has ERRORs you put a RED exclamation mark. I despise warnings, but how about a puke colored question mark? With conversion errors, the lines could be marked to let you know the relative quantity of conversion errors (system messages have a limit)
Just a few top of mind things to consider ....
Cheers,
Mark
It would be useful to be able to select a single container (containing a data input) or multiple containers using Shift, and run those and only those.
When building a new element to a larger workflow, I often enter a new Input in a new container, the ability to run just that container without having to turn off all my other containers would be really useful in speeding up the start of joining things together.
Hope that makes sense.
Thanks,
Doug
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
See attached workflow, which
Tools should not error with Zero rows, often when working with macros it is possible to have a scenario where zero rows or columns is legitimate. Some tools are fine with this and some are not. In my case the Select Tool does not allow it so I have to create a Work around with a Text Input tool.
Hello all,
Change Data Capture ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Change_data_capture ) is an effective way to deal with changes in a database, allowing streaming or delta functionning. Several technos, more or less intrusive, can be applied (and combined). Ex : logs reading.
