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 find and replace feature is great. Unfortunately, I was unpleasantly surprised to learn the hard way that workflow events are outside of its reach. Please expand to include the entire workflow to act on everything opening the xml in notepad could find and replace. The following demonstrates the omission...
On left side I search for the string “v022”
Below that shows zero matches
In the open event box near the center, “v022” appears in the command box
The occurrence in event command box should appear as a match, but does not.
So while first and last make sense concat will crash the system. Here's a screen grab... Designer really doesn't like crosstab reporting tools set (accidentally) to concatenate 3 macros deep in a workflow. Just crashed 3 times before I tracked down the error on my system.
As a change to Designer UI in 2021.2, when in the filter box, I used to be able to use my mouse to Paste in the value and then hit enter/apply to apply the filter. It's not working as of 2021.2. Now, if I hit paste from my mouse, it just closes the Filter box and applies nothing. It forces me to have to change between mouse and keyboard as that is the only way to paste a value into the filter value box (CTRL-V).
This feels like another very tiny move in the wrong direction. These small UI changes cause 2 or 3 additional steps and slow the diagnostic/navigation process in moving around the Results Grid in the Browse Tool or at any point in the flow where the Results Grid is used.
Can mouse functionality be restored in 2021.2?

Can we please have a Group By option added to Random % Sample tool? It would ease a lot of things!
It would be fantastic if the Detour tool worked outside for a Standard Workflow, and not just for Analytic Apps and Macros. I can think of many instances where this would be very useful.
Provide Desktop Automation with Workflow REST API to have the ability to start workflows from other corporate systems without expensive Server license in a small environment.
My request is to allow tool containers to be enabled or disabled through an action on a Batch macro, just as they are with a Standard macro. This issue was originally raised in Jan-2013.
At that time @MargaritaW of Alteryx responded "the tool containers can’t be enabled or disabled through an action on a batch macro, this works fine on a standard macro (this issue has bee added to our log for a fix as high priority)."
It is 8+ years later and I can't find the fix. Using the Detour tool was offered as a workaround, but that is not useful in many cases. Looking at Alteryx own tools developed with macros, Tool Container activation/de-activation is used much more frequently than the Detour tool.
For my particular use case, we receive sets of four files from multiple customers each week. Each file in the set has a different structure.
Requirement:
1. Process each file in a directory, one at a time.
2. Activate/utilize one Input tool based on the file type
3. Execute a file specific workflow
Here is a link to the original issue that was marked as "solved". The Detour tool workaround does not constitute a solution.
Solved: Enable tool container in batch macro - Alteryx Community
Alteryx please follow through on this 8-year old high priority issue.
Thanks,

Hi All,
Issue:
When input <List of Sheet Names>, Alteryx will assign data type and size accordingly.
Example:
File | Sheet Name | Data Type | Size |
Book1 | MTD 매출 조회 | V_WString | 9 |
Book2 | MTD 매출 (KT&G) | V_WString | 13 |
It become a problem, when input with multiple files with wildcard (Input file Book*xlsx).
It will be skipped due to "has a different schema than the 1st file in the set and will be skipped"
Solution:
Very simple, always same data type and size, like in formula tool. V_Wstring, with size 1073741823.
Hello,
I do not want to go to quick access and then to the downloads folder. Mostly we search on the community and download workflows as well as companying files. to reopen the files which are placed in the downloads folder i have to go there.
to speed this up, please put a downloads folder quick link to the left bar:
thx
Dear Community,
could you please change the path processing of the alteryx app interface so that we can paste path links with quotation marks without getting an error by the alteryx app?
this would enhance workflow speed because one cannot save folder location for the interface to search for first when browsing files. it always begins at the pc level or something.
so the workaround would be to just paste the file location path in the browser window of the interface, then pressing browse again to just scroll through the wished folder.
this idea is not only for the purpose of the workaround but also for itself worth it.
in windows one can easily copy file paths by holding down shift and right mouse click and the clicking on "copy path" . the copy is in the clipboard which i would like to pass to the alteryx app just like this without the necessity to remove the quotation marks as this costs time and is difficult when paths are long.
thank you
Can we have a comparison tool in Alteryx as we have in Adobe Pro for PDF comparison.
It will be of a great help to multiple people across globe.
Alteryx current C5 implementation requires very carefully crafted data to work.
This is fine in an academic environment, however production datasets are rarely available with such low level of tolerances.
Competing products have implementations that will not fail as easily and Alteryx doesn't have any other multi-way decision tree option.
A good alternative would be otherwise a tool that does some dataset diagnostic so that we at least can know where the problem is without having days of data scientist time to comb the dataset.
Thank you,

Using Email tool, you are not able to send email via SMTP server that uses STARTTLS protocol and self-signed certificate for completing the handshake between the client and the server. You face an error:
This is due to the fact that the Alteryx Designer SMTP client uses cURL and it does not read the Microsoft cert store, but instead looks at a specific .pem file listed in the installation directory: {AlteryxInstall}\bin\RuntimeData\Certificates\cacert.pem
I would really appreciate if Alteryx Designer will be able to look into the Microsoft certificates store so that it should be able to use self-signed certificates available there.
Self-signed certificates are often use in the companies in order to get more secures their own communications.
Thanks
please refer to the case #00447188 for more details
Can we have string function that parse the string between 2 indices?
As FindString can find particular string occurrence,we can easily get required part of string easily from that index till required index.
or If we want entire remaining string we can have a function like:
Substring(String,StartIndex,EndIndex) Where endIndex can be : Length(String)-1
The ARIMA tool provides a ton of valuable information with just a small amount of effort. And the "I" anchor efficiently outputs test results to evaluate the effectiveness of the model.
Annoyingly, in the Browse tool off the "I" anchor, test definitions such as MPE/MAPE/MASE cannot be read when hovering without widening the Configuration window beyond the chart above. Definitions have a wider range than the chart itself. The user has to manually widen and then subsequently unwiden the Configuration window to read.
Idea would be for the tooltips when hovering to be as wide as the chart above. That would avoid repetitive resizing of the Configuration window.
Upper management do not get to be part of the workflow build. When presenting the final product to them as the current solution in pdf print, they complain about the size and the legibility of the workflow. I propose that Alteryx Team could do some enhancement about this feature where large workflows can be automatically printed with minimal effort where the containers would not break in halves or at ends. It does look confusing for someone who has never seen the workflow before or know what it does. Currently, if we change the settings to any format and any settings, you do see some containers that break and continues on the following page. However, best practice would be to print any workflow without doing a lot of manipulation in the settings and all have few or every container(s) printed on different page(s).
I hope my explanation above made sense to what the ultimate solution should look like. Thanks!
When I bring up the quick menu (right-click) on a tool, under Zoom it lists all the tools to be able to go to quickly. What would be nice to see is a section of connected tools which would show which tools are connected to the tool you just right-clicked on.
Hello --
Not sure if this is possible right now, but here is my use case. I have a file with sensitive data that is not saved in a share drive, but in a personal home drive so only I have access to it.
At this point, I can run a workflow that requires the file -- but I have access to my home drive -- which other uses would not. I want others to be able to run the workflow -- so, you know, when I win the lottery workflows can go on.
I know I can lock a macro. However, if there is an input file in that macro, the user there is still a dependency on having access to where that file is stored.
What would be nice is if there were an option to embed the entire file within the workflow (macro) which could then be locked. The data could be prepared from within the macro only outputting the desired pieces of information and another user could run the workflow only have access to what comes into the workflow from the output.
The owner of the file has a little auditability as they still have an unencrypted version should then need to see what the source data provided looked like.
Please let me know if you would like to discuss further.
Thanks,
Seth
Hi Team,
It will be great to have a replace all functionality in Alteryx. There are times when we have to change the paths/ field references etc in formulas for a basic WF. The replace all functionality will help replace references in a go.
