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

Hi all,
Would it be possible to update the What's new page for 2019.4 to include the key features in this release (in my mind, one of the biggest features is the SQL formatting)?
Currently if you go to the What's new link in Designer, it takes you to the right webpage, but there is no content for 2019.4
Additionally - would it be possible to keep a few releases on this page - often people skip 2 or 3 updates so it's worth keeping the top highlights of the last 4 releases there so that people can see the new features and explore them.
The great thing about What's New pages is the ability to explore new features, so it's worth linking out to examples on a page like this if possible.
Analytical apps currently do not have the ability to provide any indication of progress to users when hosted on the galaxy.
It would be valuable to be able to provide a progress bar or some indication of progress to the user when invoking analytical apps from the gallery.
The Data Sources page currently lists all the different data sources that Alteryx supports - however for an administrator it's almost impossible to ensure that their designer users have the drivers for these, or are on the right version.
As an early step - can we add 1 more field to this list which points to the downloader for the driver where applicable
https://help.alteryx.com/current/DataSources/SupportedDataSources.htm
The next step is to create a bundled driver pack that Admins can download once to cover all the relevant drivers needed for the data sources provided & supported.

Let's "Elevate" Alteryx to enter the Euclidean space and add the Z-Coordinates to our spatial tools!
It appears that the Workflow Dependencies window does not report dependencies from all tools. In the example image, you can see that the file input from the Amazon S3 Download tool is not listed. Some tools may have dependencies that do not easily fit the current field structure of the window, but maybe the input/download tools could be listed with an asterisk or partial reference.
Products Team: Could you tell me if this is on the future road map or not?
It's something that other software does utilize, and I've seen similar requests on this message board.
Many companies use per period, quarter, year, etc. that aren't equal lengths or same days each month.
By saying every 364 days, you can schedule a yearly report. If your 4 quarters are unequal length, you can schedule 4 times (1st day of each quarter) at 364 days, recurring.
We have lengths of every 28 days for monthly reports (not 30/31). Or every 90 days. Or 180 days. Or every 14 days.
Being able to Schedule Every N Days moves you from owning a scheduler, to a providing a Competitive Scheduler.
Hello,
Please enable wildcard ability for the Amazon S3 Download Tool.
Add this to the "Object Name" field in configurations.
The current workaround is to use a macro to iterate over the filenames matching a pattern.
Adding this ability in the connector would remove the need for a macro.
Thank you.

I love that Alteryx lends itself to good workflow documentation, but I'd really like to be able to add a bit of basic formatting within my comment boxes. I tend to have one large (read: verbose) box at the top/beginning of the workflow describing the purpose of the workflow and quirks of the datasource to watch out for, and it would be easier to read these if I had some simple options like Bold, Italic, Underline, numbered list, bullet list. You know, the sorts of things you can do in basic HTML email? Those. I want them!
It would be interesting to have the ability to change the orientation of a tool container separate from the orientation of the workflow. For example having a vertical tool container within a horizontal workflow will help keep the workflow short enough to view on one page. Also it would look alot better to collapse and expand vertically in a horizontal workflow.
I really like the Directory tool. Its very handy, especially in combination with the Dynamic Input.
But... I'd like to see other object (files and folders) attributes, like object level security (who has read, write, full, etc), last user to access, and user that created.
So - with Challenge 111 - many folk used the Optimization tool
… and Joe has done a great training on this here
https://community.alteryx.com/t5/Live-Training/Live-Training-Prescriptive-Optimization/m-p/44779
But it's still to hard to use. It requires you to have pre-knowledge of a bunch of parameters and different types of knowledge.
Can we improve the interface on this tool so that it can be used by folk who do not have a background in R - for example, take all the different inputs, and make them parameterized on drop-down boxes or input boxes on the tool?
Thank you all

Please offload map rendering, in Browse Tool, to the video card using DirectX or OpenGL, the software rendering currently used is embarrassingly slow and disruptive.
My team has requested that the user interface for one of our macros is color coded to indicate the priority of certain inputs. This would be a huge help in making our large interface easier for a user to fill out and utilize.
Please add support to read and write spatial data from a SpatiaLite database. ESRI and QGIS have supported this format out of the box for quite a while. We have a mixed use environment Alteryx, ESRI, Mapinfo and QGIS and would like a common file based spatial format. You already support SQLite, its container, so expanding to the SpatialLite spec should be a no brainer.
Is there a reason why Alteryx does not include hierarchical clustering?
Well it's sort of slow especially with huge data sets, computation effort increases cubic, but then when you need to do two step clustering,
"creating more than enough k-means clusters and joining cluster centers with hierarchical clustering" it seems to be a must...
P.s. Knime, SPSS modeler, SAS, Rapidminer has it already...
Recently my trial license expired, and after receiving our activation licenses, I needed to upgrade from the 'User' version to the 'Admin' version.
When uninstalling the previous 'User' version, it appeared to complete successfully, and I then started installing the 'Admin' version from the installer.
After installation completed, I noticed that three versions of Alteryx appeared in my Windows 'Programs and Features' in Control Panel - Alteryx (Remove Only), Alteryx (Admin), and Alteryx (User).
When attempting to uninstall the 'User' version, it appeared to complete as expected, but did nothing when examining the application or root directory location, and I could still access and open and use the 'User' version of Alteryx.
To make a long story short, after going into regedit and removing all registry keys named 'Alteryx' including the SRC source key for Alteryx, I was able to manually remove all three of these versions and reinstall the 'Admin' application successfully.
Some kind of an uninstaller to wipe out all Alteryx directories, installations/versions, etc. to perform a clean uninstall/reinstall would be super valuable and probably save some folks a ton of time who are evaluating the product and moving from a Trial(User) version to an activated Admin license.
This would be much better than having to output the data to an Excel tab or csv file in order to link to Excel pivot tables. The pivot tables could link directly to the yxdb files.
It would be nice if this option would take you to the correct download page relative to the version the user has installed. Currently, this always loads the download page for the current version which is confusing for users of a company who are still required to use an older version.
Hey all,
We have a policy (similar to the best practices guide published recently by the Copenhagen user group - thank you @danielbrun2) that Alteryx canvasses should run without warnings.
However - some of the warnings are tremendously painful to track down. For example - a union that brings together 20 or 30 input streams which gives you a warning saying "not all fields contain field X".
Can we change this to multiple warnings saying "Input X does not contain field X" so that we click straight through to the offending warning?
Additionally - when there's a conversion error - we then have to run the flow again with filters and diagnostics to find the offending row. Can we have a way that alteryx automatically sidelines an example row so that you can solve it in one pass?
If we look at all the warnings with the intention of "how do we make this something that can be solved right now, without having to run complex diagnostics, so that the very next run is 100% clean" that would be a big help.
Thank you Sean
I think it would be extremely beneficial to have the customization option to rearrange tools within their panels in the tool palette.
This would allow the user to group frequently used tools in their desired order, which would make navigation of these tools easier.
As an example, having the ability to place Data Input as the first tool in the palette would make a lot of sense to me, as its usually where I start building a new workflow.
