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 default data type for new columns used to be Double, and now it is V_WString. Is this user-configurable? I find that, at least in my work, needing a formula to output a Double is way more common than a V_WString. I'm curious of other community members' thoughts here. If there isn't a consensus, it would be great to have this be a user-configurable default.
How about a quick method of disabling a container.
Current state - Click on the container, pan the mouse all the way over to the tiny checkbox target in the configuration pane and click disable.
Future state - little icon by the rollup icon that can be clicked to disable/enable, differentiated by perhaps a color change of the minimized pane perhaps?
I know what you're thinking, "talk about lazy, he's whining about moving the mouse (which his hand was already on) 2 cm along his desktop and clicking"... but still what an easy usability win and one less click to do a task I find myself repeating frequently.
It would be great if you can add a function "eval". This would be similar to R or access where you would pass a string to the eval function and it would then evaluate the string. My made up use case would be something like this: I have 1 Million rows of data with 20 fields. The first 10 are value1, value2...value10, and the second 10 are value1_right, value2_right....value10_right. I would like to replace valuex with valuex_right if valuex is null. With a multifield formula tool selected I could write something like this with value1-10 selected: eval("IIF(ISnull([_CurrentField_]),["+[_CurrentFieldName_]+"_right],[_CurrentField_])"). Thanks!
Hello,
Please can we have some drawing tools, so we can add another dimension to our workflows. I would like to draw arrows and lines across my workflow, so I can show the different stages of the workflow. I could use containers as an alternative, but feel lines would be better.
Also, is their a grid-line option, and a space equally (to spread tools evenly across work page), and an auto straighten!
Also, when you FIND, it would be nice if the Find box is allowed to stay on screen, whilst you work on the tool that has just been found; and if the founded tool can be highlighted more clearly so it can be seen.
Also, a timer, so we can see how long the workflow runs for.
That's it for now.
Thanks
Hi!
For a improved presentation of the GUI elements (Inteface Tools), may be to use for an Analytic App.
It would be great if it were possible to position the Interface Tools also side by side, instead of one above the other.
Best regards

As mention on this post here I would love the ability to change the map provider to any other map service (Mapbox, google, some other paid option). This could be achieved by adding a "Map Severs" option in the default configuration and where you put in the map server details.
Dear Alteryx GUI Gang,
I'll create a container and then customize the colours, margins, transparency, border and then want consistency for other containers. It would be nice to have a format painter function (brush) to apply the format of one container to another. This of course could be extended to other tools like comments. There might be a desire to apply this to more tools too, but the comments and containers would be my focus as they are almost always custom configured.
Cheers,
Mark
I noticed that Tableau has a new connector to Anaplan in the upcoming release.
Does Alteryx have any plans to create an Anaplan connector?
Hopefully this is the right place to post this and it hasn't been suggested already but I think it would be useful to add a numeric indicator to the formula tool to show how many formulas are being done with one tool. It would be useful when going back into or sharing workflows that a user would know more than one function is being carried out at that point. Currently I change the annotation to show how many but I think it would be useful if the icon changed dynamically. Below is a mockup of what I think it should look like.
Thanks,
Pete
When we industrialize our workflows, we often use a parameter file with a command like :
AlteryxEngineCmd.exe MyAnalyticApp.yxwz AppValues.xml
I would like to have the parameter file path with its extension as an engine constant, like we have the workflow name.
As a best practice, I'd like to automagically change any drive mapping to UNC when saving my workflows. This applies to both local and gallery saves.
Cheers,
Mark
Configurable hotkeys/keyboard shortcuts would be awesome. For instance, select/deselect highlighted fields or remove prefix are two commands that I use frequenctly but which are buried in menus.
Being able to assign hotkeys to favourite tools would be another time saver. Imagine, ctrl-alt-F and a formula appears under the cursor!
Hey all,
I don't know about you, but I have always had trouble hovering the mouse over the Results window pane trying to get the resize icon to appear. It seems like you need surgeon level precision to find the icon! 😷
I love Designer and want to see it be the best it can possibly be. I feel like increasing the clickable/hovering area for this resize would be amazingly helpful!
Just wanted to see if we could get some community momentum going in order to get some developer eyes on this issue. 🙂
Please help by bumping/upvoting this thread!

Migrated this from another thread. Some folks tagged from the original post :)

I am aware that an Auto-Documenter tool is available in the Gallery, but that has not been maintained since 2020.
It would be great if Alteryx could have that as an added feature to the Designer as an option for end-users to utilize.
The breakdown of it can be done via XML parsing as such:
<Nodes>: Configuration of tools
<Connections>: The tools used
<Properties>: Workflow properties
Right now, the current workaround is for users to export their XML, and the internal Alteryx development team has to build another workflow that reads the XML accordingly + parses it to fit what is needed.
It would be better for Alteryx to build something more robust, and perhaps even include some elements of AiDIN which they are promoting now.
Hello all,
As of today, we can easily copy or duplicate a table with in-database tool.This is really useful when you want to have data in development environment coming from production environment.
But can we for real ?
Short answer : no, we can't do it in these cases :
-partitions
-any constraints such as primary-foreign keys
But even if these ideas would be implemented, this means manually setting these parameters.
So my proposition is simply a "clone table"' tool that would clone the table from the show create table statement and just allow to specify the destination path (base.table)
Best regards,
Simon
Would love to see an option to disable a specific Output tool (rather than the global "Disable All Tools that Write Output" option). I'm envisioning the inverse of the Email tool, where there is a checkbox to enable Email... rather, the Output tool could have a check box that would disable that output (and ONLY that output), similar/consistent with the "Disable All Tools" function. A "Disable This Output" check box. The benefits would be a quick way to make sure not to overwrite something in one output (but still getting all the good content in all the other outputs) rather than having to go through the multiple clicks of adding to a container and then disabling the container. Could have benefits for connecting with Action tools/interface toggles as well. It would likely need to contain the same/similar formatting in Designer to indicate it has been disabled, though maybe a slightly different color so you could tell it was disabled differently?
(On a similar vein, would love to take this opportunity to bring up my favorite idea-that-has-not-been-implemented-yet-that-would-love-your-vote-and-attention, implementing a Warning that outputs are disabled when posting to Gallery...)
Cheers!

I like to suggest having a Batch Macro Container (besides the existing Container) which acts as a Batch Macro within a Workflow and is stored within the Workflow.
I understand that having a batch macro available as a separate tool can be very powerful and reduces redundant work. However, very often Batch Macros are set up for a specific workflow only and are of no use for other workflows. The Creation of a Batch Macro in a container will significantly reduce the time to deploy a batch macro and keeps the Macro folder clean of one-time Batch Macros.
Attached a picture of how this could look like
Thanks

Could we please have a Type field added to the "Select Fields to Cleanse" configuration window for the Data Cleansing Tool? This small feature would save a lot of time (saving the time needed to check the Metadata for every field every time I use the Data Cleansing Tool). Similar functionality to the way the Summarize Tool displays both Field and Type (just one additional field).
Today:
Future Version:
Pardon my sad photoshopping 🙂
Note: I realize the Data Cleansing is a macro and this functionality is not currently available with the "Check Box" interface tool.
Thank you!
The expression editor in the RegEx tool is only a single line, which makes it really hard to edit long regular expressions. See attached photo comparing the expression editor in the RegEx tool compared to the formula tool for the same expression. Please make the RegEx editor box either wrap to multiple lines, have a pop-out expression editor, or something so we can see long expressions.
