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

We are big fans of the In-Database Tools and use them A LOT to speed up workflows that are dealing with large record counts, joins etc.
This is all fine, within the constraints of the database language, but an annoyance is that the workflow is harder to read, and looks messy and complicated.
A potential solution would be to have the bottom half of the icon all blue as is, but the top half to show the originaling palette for that tool.
ie Connect In-DB - Green/Dark Blue
Filter In-DB - Light Blue/Dark Blue
Join In-DB - Purple/Dark Blue
etc.
in-DB workflows would then look as cool as they are !
Thanks

This would allow for a couple of things:
Set fiscal year for datasource to a new default.
Allow for specific filters on the .tde (We use this for row level security with our datasources).
Thanks
The Multi-Field Binning tool, when set to equal records, will assign any NULL fields to an 'additional' bin
e.g. if there are 10 tiles set then a bin will be created called 11 for the NULL field
However, when this is done it doesn't remove the NULLs from the equal distribution of bins across the remaining items (from 1-10).Assuming the NULLs should be ignored (if rest are numeric) then the binning of remaining items is wrong.
Suggestion is to add a tickbox in the tool to say whether or not NULL fields should be binned (current setup) or ignored (removed/ignored completely before binning allocations are made).
I've run into an issue where I'm using an Input (or dynamic input) tool inside a macro (attached) which is being updated via a File Browse tool. Being that I work at a large company with several data sources; so we use a lot of Shared (Gallery) Connections. The issue is that whenever I try to enter any sort of aliased connection (Gallery or otherwise), it reverts to the default connection I have in the Input or Dynamic Input tool. It does not act this way if I use a manually typed connection string.
Initially, I thought this was a bug; so I brought it to Support's attention. They told me that this was the default action of the tool. So I'm suggesting that the default action of Input and Dynamic Input tools be changed to allow being overridden by Aliased connections with File Browse and Action tools. The simplest way to implement this would probably be to translate the alias before pushing it to the macro.
Hello team,
It would be really nice if user interface tool can be set with a default set up that will flow into the connected tool. Currently it will always been blank as no data flow in.
There are ways to bypass it as run the automation in Open Debug, but then if you want to amend the the automation you need to go back to the original WF and then run it again with Open Debug.
Of course you can set a static data for these fields however then you must remove them before saving it to the Gallery, which might create future errors if you are forgetting to delete the static data.
So if I added a Select Date, it will be nice if it will be possible to select a data in that tool and that date will reflected in the WF. It is less an issue at the development part as normally at that stage these tools will not be set up, however when you need to upgrade existing WF or amend one due to changes, that's were it will be very handy and will save a lot of time.
I would like to propose three feature enhancements for the Cross Tab tool under the Transform tool category.
1. Bringing Concat Unique functionality, which is an idea that is currently in Coming Soon status.
2. Adding Start and End in addition to Separator, similar to the Concatenate Properties found in the Summarize tool.
3. Changing the Default Size from 2048 to 1073741823 (max V_WString size). It is common for especially new users to ignore the truncation errors and potentially miss important data that may need to be processed downstream.
Improve the user experience by enable search filtering options in browse tool result just as in the canvas. See attached pics.
I used to use a software before (LabVIEW) and it had the capability to exchange code via snippets or as part of png images. I think this will impact not only community, but also facilitate the code exchange
The management of connections, especially in a collaborative environment is not cohesive or intuitive.
Few ideas for boosting the expression editor:
1) When writing expressions it can be hard to trace the matching brackets. Can we add some corresponding bracket colours to address this.
2) When I want to wrap an expression in brackets ([{or other symbols!}]) I have to manually add a bracket to the beginning and end of the expression. In Jupyter Notebooks (and many other softwares or IDEs), you can highlight a string, add a single bracket to it and it'll wrap the entire highlighted string with an opening and closing bracket.
3) Multi-line cursor. This is a real gem of a feature if possible.
I will add a GIF that demonstrates all three together in action:
All the best,

Would it be possible to Hide all annotations by default rather than each time a new workflow is created? It's a simple thing but can save time.
Workflow configuration
Requesting a reduced-cost, read-only license to allow for additional users in our organization be directly review workflows for UAT and control testing. Currently, the only individuals who can see the detail of Alteryx workflows directly are those with a full designer license or temporary trial license. In our Alteryx control structure, we have additional reviewers confirming the workflow who do not have licenses, which requires copious amounts of screenshots and/or direct meetings with our licensed designers to walkthrough the flows step-by-step. It would be much more efficient to provide a license that would allow folks to click through the integrations themselves, potentially allowing for comments and annotations, but without the ability to make direct changes. This would be much more cost efficient for our organization and allow for better workflow review and control.
Create a connector for Azure Cosmos DB, integrate it directly into their Alteryx workflows
Include a tool specific configuration to allow for the ability to turn off annotations on that specific tool instead of the global setting to turn them all off.
This would especially be useful for the SORT tool.
I find myself wasting multiple clicks in order to eliminate the annotations every time I insert a sort tool into my process flow, since it is rare when I actually need to include an annotation.
Hello all,
As you all know, you can use API with the Alteryx Download tool. However, this tool is not that easy to configure.
On the other hand, the API world use a lot tools such as Postman or Bruno (an open source clone) which allows easy test, debug... I use it everytime I had to work on a rest API and then I try to translate it to the final tool (such as the Alteryx Download tool). Both tools offer "collection", a set of request, and also environment configuration. Here are some examples on the project I'm working on :
And you can even get some code
I would like to leverage those collections in my download tool configuration, that would be quite easier to use !
Best regards,
Simon
Vanilla Alteryx Chained Apps can only progress linearly, which means developers could not let users skip few applications ( or ) reach the last app in the chain ( or ) let the user select which specific app to trigger based on the requirement.
This can be bypassed by using a render tool with output as PCXML and HTML link of the Application you can trying to divert to, which does not affect the existing workflow in any way.
By using the below set of tools on any workflow/chained app you can either branch the flow of apps ( or ) you can skip a few apps in the chain.
Image 1 - Input Configuration with the flow that can be part of any existing application

Now If clicked on App 1, it would divert me to www.Alteryx.com

I find it extremely annoying having to individually disable/enable control containers in a workflow. It would be nice if there was a way to select all control containers that I want to disable/enable and then be able to right click and do it quickly in one motion. This would save me a lot of time when working with 10+ control containers.
Is it possible to add sort functionality to the Sample tool in Designer, similar to the 'Sample Based on Order' functionality in the Sample tool in Designer Cloud? This would cut down on the Sort + Sample tool combo in Designer!
Thanks!
