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

Alteryx Server is great, but very costly. Having the ability to install the Alteryx engine without the Designer, thus allowing you to share Workflows/Apps with users directly. This could be licensed on a per user basis as well, but a reduced cost.
This also allows for some more advanced workflows that do not work in the Gallery.
Please add a data validator workflow.
Suggested features will be the following:
1. Add validation name and set the field/s of your data you want to validate. (it can have more than one validation name on one workflow)
2. On the selected validation(name). Add features that will check/validate the information below:
A. Verify data type
B. Contains Null
C. Max and Min string length
D. Allowed values only, else it will give you an error
E. Regex expected to match and not allowed to match.
3. It can have two(2) outputs. One is True(which is match) and False(which is fail over/error).
In the tools that embed the "Rename" option (Select, Append Fields, Join, Join Multiple), copying the new name will copy all the information of the field configuration : tick/untick, original field name, type, size, new name and description.
Renaming the field "Rename_Field"
In my opinion, it should copy only the new name. This would be useful, especially because when you change the name of a field, it isn't automatically changed in subsequent tools, so copying it to replace it in those tools is faster than retyping it every time.
Currently it's not possible to "switch off" interface tools in the same was as we can with the other tools. This limits the functionality especially within chained apps. If we could switch these tools off it would be much easier for us to tailor the experience by allowing selections to be activated by logic, rather than simply the data therein.
Please Alteryx Gods. I beseech thee!

Here's a sample of what you get if no records are read into a python tool:
Error: CReW SHA256 (4): Tool #1: Traceback (most recent call last):
File "D:\Engine_10804_3513901e8d4d4ab48a13c314a18fd1f9_\2f1b1eb4701e445775092128efe77f76\workbook.py", line 7, in <module>
df = Alteryx.read('#1')
File "C:\Program Files\Alteryx\bin\Miniconda3\envs\DesignerBaseTools_venv\lib\site-packages\ayx\export.py", line 35, in read
return _CachedData_(debug=debug).read(incoming_connection_name, **kwargs)
File "C:\Program Files\Alteryx\bin\Miniconda3\envs\DesignerBaseTools_venv\lib\site-packages\ayx\CachedData.py", line 306, in read
data = db.getData()
File "C:\Program Files\Alteryx\bin\Miniconda3\envs\DesignerBaseTools_venv\lib\site-packages\ayx\Datafiles.py", line 500, in getData
data = self.connection.read_nparrays()
RuntimeError: DataWrap2WrigleyDb::GoRecord: Attempt to seek past the end of the file
I've fixed this in my macro by forcing a DUMMY record into the python tool (deleting it on the back-end). It would be much nicer to have error handling that prevents the issue. Even as a configuration option, what to do with no input this would simplify things.
This error condition potentially effects every python tool created.

Similar to the setting that you have in many individual tools (join, append, select, et al) where you can go to options and choose to "forget missing fields" it would be nice where you could go to options for the entire flow and "forget missing fields".
This would remove the headache that you have with large flows where you make a change(s) then have to go back through each and every tool to "forget" within that tool. Yes you could still do it individually, but if you chose, you could also do it universally for the entire flow all at once to all the 'missing fields'.
Hi all,
Something really interesting I found - and never knew about, is there are actually in-DB predictive tools. You can find these by having a connect-indb tool on the canvas and dragging on one of the many predictive tools.
For instance:
boosted model dragged on empty campus:
Boosted model tool deleted, connect in-db tool added to the canvas:
Boosted Model dragged onto the canvas the exact same:
This is awesome! I have no idea how these tools work, I have only just found out they are a thing. Are we able to unhide these? I actually thought I had fallen into an Alteryx Designer bug, however it appears to be much more of a feature.
Sadly these tools are currently not searchable for, and do not show up under the in-DB section. However, I believe these need to be more accessible and well documented for users to find.

Hello Team,
When we do run and cache workflow it remain in the cache memory for only the time the Alteryx designer or that workflow is open.
Advantage: We dont need to wait for the data to load in input data tool and the result is validated properly.
Disadvantage: Loss of time and money when the Alteryx Designer is closed automatically or mistaken.
Expectation:
Can we provide a token Expiry for 12 to 24 hrs so the precious time and money is not wasted.
This will be very useful when we are working on billions of Data.
Hello!
Currently when using the formula tool, you can create a string using the two following methods:
With speech marks, or an apostrophe being used respectively.
I would expect both of these methods to behave the exact same way, however what is interesting is that if you type within the apostrophes anything that would prompt a formula, this is still prompted:
This is not the case within the speech marks:
This can cause mistakes with autocompletion when typing within the field. I propose a small QoL change that the formula tool will recognise a string is being written when within two apostrophes. I believe the logic is already built for that, given that it behaves in every other way the same, and highlights green too.

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,
More and more databases have complex data types such as array, struct or map. This would be nice if we could use it on Alteryx as input, as internal and as output, with calculations available on it.

By default output always print Headers as shown in item 1 below, I am looking to print item 2 as Header. Item 3 is my output.
I tried item 4 below, doesn’t work.
Please consider this in your future releases. It saves lot of time as the Outputs can contain hundreds of fields and output files are shared with User community who understands the Field description much more than Field name. For example SAP Field-KUNNR does not mean nothing to a User than its description 'Customer'.
A check box on the Output Tool should able to toggle the selection between Field or its Description.
You might argue that the Rename column can be used, agree it would be difficult to manually type in hundreds of fields. As an alternative you can provide automatic Rename population with Description.
Hello,
My issue is very easy to solve. I want to use the generic ODBC in memo for a specific base (monetdb here but it isn't important).
I try to ouput a flow in a MonetDB SQL database. As you can see, I only take very simple field types
However I get this error message :
Error: Output Data (3): Error creating table "exemplecomparetable.toto": [MonetDB][ODBC Driver 11.44.0][MONETDB_SAU]Type (datetime) unknown in: "create table "exemplecomparetable"."toto" ("ID" int,"Libellé" char(50),"Date d"
syntax error in: ""Prix""
CREATE TABLE "exemplecomparetable"."toto" ("ID" int,"Libellé" char(50),"Date de Maj" datetime,"Prix" float,"PMP" float)
Reminder : SQL is an ISO Norm. Default type should follow it, not the MS SQL configuration. Interoperability is key

It'll be great to have different icons whether Designer is executed Elevated or not, so it's easy to identify the instance you need to work with.
I test the 10% percentile for {1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9}, whch alteryx gives 1.8, while it should be 1.
According the help, it should return the value of the target row, which shall not result any decimal in this case.

One of the task in my process is to convert the Pdf to excel sheet for all content.
Pdf content will all depend upon the number details available.
Pdf contain table format detail.
We would like see all the pages of pdf should be in excel sheet with proper format including Table provided in pdf.
I tried multiple ways but unable to find easiest way of handing the auto fit the all the column in final output. If we have already could you please help me with the solution.
if not - can we create one additional tool which auto fit and align the data type accordingly.
2 issue is about post I bifurcate the excel sheet data with multiple workbook data type doesn't show proper. for example Main file contain string and numeric value. post the bifurcate all the number still shows string value only due to every cell has green tick mark.
Need an option in the output tool(Delete and append option is selected) so that if some error occur while writing into the table. workflow would automatically gets back to original record count. Right now if the workflow fails we are seeing zero records in the output table.
Hi
Sometimes when your using a filter you want to let everything pass through. Which means you have to remove the filter or go around it.
In stead of beeing able to out comment your filter. And the filter tool see's that as no filter.
