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

On the output data component, when outputting to a database, there are Pre & Post Create SQL statement switches. This allows for the execution of a SQL statement in the DB but only after a create table action. To use this functionality you must have populated a table using the 'create new table' or 'overwrite' option, which is no good if you're using the Update or Append options. Change these switches to Pre & Post SQL Statements as per the Input Data component. This will allow you to execute SQL statements in the DB either before or after the population action. Can be really handy if you need to execute database stored procedures for example.
Please note: You can already work around this by branching from your data stream and creating or overwriting a dummy table, then use the pre or post create switch for your SQL statement. This is a bit messy and can leave dummy tables in the DB, which is a bit scruffy.
When outputting to files in avro format, it would be nice to have Alteryx either throw an error/warning or automatically add a prefix when field names do not conform to the Apache Avro specifications. For example, if I were to try to output an .avro file with a field named "2018 actions", Alteryx could throw a warning/error to remind me to rename the field, or Alteryx could change the field name for me to something like "X2018_Actions".
Add extra capabilities int he Output Tool so that the following can be accomplished without the need for using Post SQL processing:
- Create a new SQL View
- Assign a Unique Index key to a table
Having these capabilities directly available in the tools would greatly increase the usability and reduce the workload required to build routines and databases.
Is it possible to get a monthly subscription service to spread out the cost - perhaps to make it more beneficial your end we could have a 6 month minimum contract?
With some consulting projects you'd only really be able to bill the pro rata cost so that would help.
We are limited to vertical and horizontal flow charts.
Being able to move the green entrance and exit nodes to vertical or horizontal positioning in the same chart would aid creating more efficient flow layouts.
The developers should check out Factorio too. Quite a few idea in there on flow charting.
EG:
At the moment the salesforce connector does not support view objects like AccountUserTerritory2View. It should be extended to support those objects to facilitate more efficient and above all complete data extraction.
Sort by file size based on first digit in file size (should be based on all digits).
Extend the machine-learning framework for pressure analysis on a single well to multiwell systems.
The framework should capture the well interference accurately and be able to test a greater area of the reservoir. Develop a machine-learning model to reconstruct the flow-rate history by use of pressure data. Ensure that both models maintain the advantages of the machine-learning- based single-well pressure interpretation in terms of the accuracy of prediction, computational efficiency, and tolerance to noise.
It would be helpful if Alteryx did not try to report blank dates in the data profiling tool that are not existent in the dataset. If our data is missing dates, it would be better to report these as a warning, rather than making the profiling imply that they should be within the dataset. Attached is a simple dataset to illustrate.
This is an interface issue but I wish Alteryx can allow user to scroll across the ribbon toolbar (e.g. In/Out, Prep, Join, Spatial tools...) when the toolbar is active.
That is, for example, when I click on "Transform" and notice my tool is not there, I can quickly scroll my mouse to move to other toolsets. Microsoft Office is a best practice for this and I think this will make it much efficient to locate tools.
When using the Transpose tool I'm pivoting out networks names to column headings then I want to populate those fields with an "X". To do this I have to first create a column first with an "X" in it and populated the various Networks columns with that.
How about another drop-down that says something like "I'll key the value I want to populate the fields with" and I can key "X" or "Y", etc.
It's possible I just don't know enough about the tool but I can't see how to do this other than my way.
For most of our "Production" mode, we launch our apps with an xml file containing the parameter send to the app.
We would like to have the path of this file in the Engine Constant.
When working on the Weekly Challenge #108, I was trying to design a non-macro solution.
I ended up settling on the Generate Rows tool and was trying to find a way to generate rows until I had reached or exceeded the maximum density, however, I ran into an issue where I'd always have one too few rows, since the final row I was looking for was the one that broke the condition I specified.
In order to get around this, I came up with the following solution:
Essentially, I just set my condition to twice that of the true threshold I was looking for. This worked because I was always doubling the current value in my Loop Expression, and so anything which broke the 'actual' condition I was looking for ([MaxDensity]), would necessarily also break the second condition if doubled again.
However, for many other loop expressions, this sort of solution would not work.
My idea is to include a checkbox which, when selected, would also generate the final row which broke the specified condition.
By adding such a checkbox, it would allow users to continue using the Generate Rows tool as they already do, but reduce the amount of condition engineering that users are required to do in order to get that one extra row they're looking for, and reduce the number of potentially unseen errors in their workflows.
The idea is the ability to skip tools in a workflow. Check the attached example:
Input (TRX_TABLE): Contains transactional raw data (unstructured & uncleaned data)
Filter (TRX_DATE <= 90 days from TODAY): It only filters the data 90 days old from today. Works as an incremental data loader
If the filter tool is NOT SKIPPED the workflow loads the filtered data (incremental behavior)
If the filter tool is SKIPPED the workflow loads all the data (full behavior)
This way I can quickly switch between both modes for testing & production environments
Hi,
I am sure that I can't be the only person that would be interested in an output tool that allows categorical fields on both axes. THis would allow you to visualise the following example and I would suggest that this was either similar to the heatmap with boxes or the colour / size of the entry was determined by a third numerical value - such as 'Confidence' from the table below. THere might be ways to extend the idea as well as having a fourth parameter that puts text in the box or another number but it would be useful and not too hard I am sure.

Many thanks in advance for considering this,

When in the flow of designing a workflow, I often accidentally click on the help ? Icon on the side bar of the configuration window, thereby launching a browser window, taking me out if Alteryx and interrupting my flow. Would love to have some UX indication, perhaps a different color, that clicking on this icon will redirect the user out of Alteryx.
I am parsing retailer promotions and have two input strings:
1. take a further 10%
2. take an additional 10%
I am using the regex parse tool to parse out the discount value, using the following regex:
further|additional (\d+)%
When the input contains examples of both options (i.e 'further' and 'additional'), the tool only seems to parse the first one encountered.
E.g if I state the regex string as:
further|additional (\d+)%
It only parses line 1 above
And if I state the regex string as:
additional|further (\d+)%
It only parse line 2
We have to run the full workflow at a time, if you can please think of something like partial running of the workflow and also while designing the flow if we add new tools, we have to run the entire flow again.
Why can't it hold the intermediate data to avoid re-running the entire code.
Create a standardized Mailbox application that could bolt onto Alteryx Server, to handle incoming attachments from sources like a Service Desk (Service Now for example) and other applications.
Essentially anything that regularly exports data in the form of an emailed attachments to which Alteryx could, using a series of predefined user rules and a designated email address, put those attachments into various directories ready for processing by automated Alteryx workflows.
This would save a huge amount of time as people currently have to manually drag and drop files. At least the on board Alteryx designers here haven't been able to come with a solution. Would also save any messy programming around systems like Outlook and bending any security issues within those systems. Many, many other applications have this simple feature built in to their products, especially service desks. I believe there would be a huge benefit to this very simple bolt on.
