This is to allow log monitoring applications to process the file correctly.

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

The Explorer Box is great for embedding help documentation into workflows. That being said, there are several text-based file types that cannot be accepted into the Explorer Box such as .sql or .log. Since these are essentially text files, I'm suggesting that the Explorer Box should be less strict regarding file extensions and allow all text-based file types to be viewable.
Looking forward to be able to select one of the available fields from a drop-down menu when populating a filter tool...
While Alteryx is processing it displays information in the module with record/file infromatoin. Once processing is complete this information is gone, except for in the output window. Could you add a key combination or button toggle to redisplay this info from the prior run. It would be very helpful for debugging.
I would like to suggest a Canvas Mode: Can you make a feature where it is possible to maximise/full screen the canvas only (so that it pops up in a separate window)? I work on two screens so it would be handy to have the tools and ribbons with the results preview on one screen and a pure canvas designer on the other.
Kind regards,

Hi Team,
Is there a possibility of a Alteryx Public Designer similar to Tableau Public software?

I love the basic data profiling that is now available in the Browse tool. I used to rely more on the browse everywhere feature and only used the current Browse tool at the end of my workflows. Now with the data profiling capability, I am using a lot of Browse tools for in-line analytics while I am developing workflows, but they cause an overwhelming amount of clutter! To help ease this clutter, I use containers to hide/disable them, and I usually delete most of them when I am done developing each part of a workflow.
I'd live to have a mini browse tool with a small icon that includes the basic data profiling functionality present in the current Browse tool. I would also like to have the option to disable all 'mini Browse' tools without disabling all of the Browse tools.
I would like to suggest adding in additional options to the Output tool for running VBA code after inserts finish.
Similar to how the "7 Post Create SQL Statement" works for "ODBC" or "Oracle" Connections, having this option for excel would be game changing.
Our current processes rely on us calling a .vbs script, or manually formatting our output.
My job of automation would be significantly easier if this was an option.
Getting deliverable ready in an easy to digest format is key.
I think Alteryx needs to first determine if the output file if there (if it's supposed to be) or not there (if it's not supposed to be) vs running for X number of mins and then coming back with an error message that the file doesn't exist or already exists - depending on your setting for output. It should ping all input and all output files and determine if an error will occur there before running the workflow. IMHO.
In regards to the little ALTERYX box that pops up every time I run my YXWZ file..
This is COMPLETELY ANNOYING! I don't want to click the dang thing every time to close it. It has ZERO VALUE. I already know its ALTERYX. SO LETS LOSE THIS WASTED STEP! I have to run this many times when testing and for production, WHY DO I HAVE TO CLICK IT EVERY SINGLE TIME TO CLOSE IT!
I have a second suggestion... I tried to enter this suggestion, AND I KEEP GETTING A SNAFU because the IDEA LABELS feature in your submit tool. LOSE IT or make it so I don't have to fill it in. I get you want to somehow CATEGORIZE, but, if you can't come up with something useful, I am not a mind reader and I don't have time to sit here and figure out WHAT MIGHT BE THE MAGIC WORD that might be associated with my idea. GIMME A BREAK!
Thanks
I suggest adding a piece wise linear regression tool to the predictive tool set. Many times, modelers in the insurance business (and others) like to play around with the model, i.e. placing knots/splines at multiple intervals then after seeing the results, changing where those knots are placed. This gives the best fit based not only on mathematical technical knowledge but also domain/tribal knowledge, especially when training data sets are small.
Currently, we have to try and develop our own model matched with a macro which changes the r-code. To date, there has been no luck, but maybe the Alteryx excellent customer support would get the developers to do this for us and then...........we could finally bury SAS in the ground.
Our company got Alteryx server a few months ago, and we were surprised to find out that (at current setup) the members of my team can not collaborate on workflows published on our Server.
What we would like to see (How we envision being able to share workflows).
With any published workflow on the server, be able to publish a workflow to a shared space and/or share owner permissions with or edit abilities to with another user.
And
Allow another authorized user to download, edit, and update those workflows - keeping them current in someone's absence (Vacation or leave for a new job).
Please build this functionality so we can get back to using Server instead of a shared folder on the network.
Thanks,
Randy
Hi,
Can the Log format be changed, so that each line starts with
MM-DD-YYYY hh:mm:ss TZ.
This is to allow log monitoring applications to process the file correctly.
Thanks

Allow Workflow Dependencies to run other tools or workflow .
Would like a component to analyse an incoming dataset and suggest a key for the data, i.e. detect what field or composite of fields would uniquely identify a record in the data. The key could then be detected by the output data component and add primary key's to tables when created. Great for when using the drop and recreate option, i.e. would retain an index on the key.
It would be very useful to have a new Grid selection question type. This would allow you to see a grid of data that you can sort and pan through and make selections. Similar to a multi select but in grid form with multiple columns.
I find myself cutting and pasting (rearranging steps) a lot. Right click "move ahead" or "move upstream" would be great for shifting the order of filters and formulas and such.
We recently upgraded our SQL server to 2016 to enable us to use R Server for predictive analytics. We were excited about the more powerful algorithms and the fact that parallel processing will make things faster on bigger data sets.
We often use stepwise logistic regression, especially in cases where we need to show which attributes are most significant. The one drawback about the upgrade was that stepwise is not available when running logistic regression in-database. I know there are ways to get around this e.g. PC etc. but it would be nice to have the ability to do stepwise in-database.
I hope there are others like me that will vote this up. I think it will help a lot of data scientists out there and is probably one of the easier suggestions :-).
We see very nice demos at the Alteryx Academy. Trainers showing some actions, tips and tricks on screens previously recorded...
Originally you need to install a software like;
Then learn how to use them and share separate video or moving GIF files with people manually by mail etc....
I suggest a screen recorder for Alteryx where you can quickly record and save how something is done
and then share it thru Peer to peer with a colleague one-on-one or publish to the Alteryx Community...
It may even be an awesome thing if one can share screen in real-time with another Alteryx user...
Then it will be top notch collaboration...
Best

I will try to make this short but the back story is a bit long.
I was recently tasked with scraping a website requiring repeated call to the URL with about 10,000 different queries. Pushing all 10,000 at the Download tool caused intermittent DownloadData to be returned with HTML from what appeared to be a default fallback help page. Not what I needed. I suspected the site may have seen all the calls in rapid succession as a DDoS attack or something, so I put a Throttle tool in line to lessen the burden on their server. It reduced the failed calls, but there was still more than I found acceptable, requiring pulling out the failed queries and repeating the same throttled processing. Putting time between each record was what I needed. And then I found this Wait/Pause Between Processing Records Just what I needed.
Now the constructive criticism. I hope I don't offend anybody.
The macro does the job using a simple ping statement inside a grouped batch macro, pinging until a selected time interval has passed. It does this repeated pinging for every record. That can add up to a lot of pings especially if the time interval is rather large and a lot of records are being processed. Then DDoS popped into my head. The same issue that led me to find this very solution.
So, I started thinking how could I accomplish this same wait between records and iterative macro seemed plausible, seeing that loops can be used in code to do this very thing.
I have attached the macro I came up with. Feel free to check it out, critique the hell out of it, and/or used it if it will solve any problem you might have. I only ask that you keep the macro intact and give credit where credit is deserved.
Thanks for your time,
Dan Kelly
