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

It would be awesome if there was a cross tab in DB option because right now I have to stream out millions of records to build a cross tab.
Limit conversion warning allows for a minimum of 1 message. Can we set the minimum to 0 to completely ignore the message?
Perhaps we can allow warning messages a similar function as ERROR messages and allow the designer to Ignore, Warn or Cancel?

Hello all,
As you may know, Alteryx use the Active Query Builder component. However this component itself evolves with cool new features :

Hello all,
In help, we can read that :
https://help.alteryx.com/current/designer/write-data-db-tool
Update/Delete is currently only supported for SQL Server ODBC connections.
I don't know about you but SQL Server is well used in transactional workload but in analytics... well... I have only used once in several dozens of context !
Maybe it would be cool to make it work on many more database?
Best regards,
Simon
I would like to be able to draw a box around some tools, them maybe right mouse click to add them to a container
We're currently using Regex and text to columns to parse raw HTML as text into the appropriate format when web scraping, when a tool to at least parse tables would be hugely beneficial.
This functionality exists within Qlik so it would be nice to have this replicated in Alteryx.
Obviously, we need to retain the ability to scrape raw HTML, but automatically parsing data using the <td>, <th> and <tr> tags would be nice.
In the following page there is a table showing the states and territories of the US:
With Qlik, you can input the URL and it will return the available tables in tabular format:
As this functionality exists elsewhere it would be nice to incorporate this into Alteryx.
Idea:
An Alteryx version for Mac OS X sounded like a nice idea... Although there are options for using bootcamp with windows 7-8
or some virtualisation software as mentioned in a community post here.
Rationale 1 (Competitors do it):
First of all there is no need to neglect a customer segment using Mac's.
Seems SAS was compatable in the last decade, but they dropped it. Now SAS is not OS X compatible but
still with the "SAS OnDemand" version Mac users can easly get a hands on experience.
Rationale 2:
The Mac Pro Beast has 7.2 TFlops of computing power with the help of dual ATI graphics cards.
It would be awesome to install Alteryx on one...
When I create a new table in a in-Db workflow, I want to specify some contraints, especially the Primary Key/Foreign Key
For PK/FK, the UX could be either the selection of some fields of the flow or a free field (to let the user choose a constant).
From wikipedia :
In the relational model of databases, a primary key is a specific choice of a minimal set of attributes (columns) that uniquely specify a tuple (row) in a relation (table).[a] Informally, a primary key is "which attributes identify a record", and in simple cases are simply a single attribute: a unique id.
So, basically, PK/FK helps in two ways :
1/ Check for duplicate, check if the value inserted is legit
2/ Improve query plan, especially for join
Hi there,
My idea comes when I've built an application, where user select filter from drop-down list. However it contains thousands of records, so it takes lot's of time to find desired record.
In Excel and MS Access when you use filter you can put many letter and filter shows rows that match the input. In Alteryx user can only put first letter, which is huge drawback to my users.
This is how it works in Excel:
Hope you like it!
Currently, when one uses the Google BigQuery Output tool, the only options are to create a table, or append data to an existing table. It would be more useful if there was a process to replace all data in the table rather than appending. Having the option to overwrite an existing table in Google BigQuery would be optimal.
I like the new cache option in 2018.3, but I would like it to function a little bit different. Let's say you cache at a certain point and then continue to build after that. If I reach another checkpoint and want to cache, it currently re-runs the entire workflow (ie it ignores my cache upstream and just goes back to the beginning of the workflow); instead, I would rather have it utilize the upstream cache. Personally, caching is usually an iterative effort during development where I keep caching along the way. The current functionality of the cache is not conducive to this. Thanks!
Hello,
Here a use case :
I work on the projects A and B with Alteryx inj IN DB mode.
My coworker works only on project B and have no rights to the data of project A.
When using temporary table in Alteryx, we both create the temporary tables in the default database. The issue is my coworker can see my temporary data of project A, which is not safe.
Solution : allow me to specify the database/schema when I create my temporary table.
When I make the workflow, the font size on Result window is no problem.
But, when we show the contents of Results window on the presentation or online meeting, the font size is too small.
I want the function which is enlarge the font size. The important point is that the current font size is okay on making workflow and the large font size is only needed on showing to the another people on presentation or online meeting.
One more point to add, it would be helpful to be able to change the font size with Ctrl + mouse wheel.

We have Alteryx running in AWS which seems to be a common setup.Our AWS instances are set-up with IAM roles which has been one of the security measures applied in order to finally allow our enterprise company to allow some development in the cloud. IT will not allow the sharing of Access keys to connect to S3.
Thanks you to @JoeM for recent training on macros, and @NicoleJohnson for pointing out some of the challenges.
when writing an iterative macro - it is a little bit difficult to debug because when you run this in designer mode, it only does one iteration and stops.
Could we add the capability to the designer itself to be able to run the second and third iteration using the test data built into the macro input tool? Even something as simple as an option to run X iterations; or when it's run the first iteration allow me to look at what happened and trigger iteration 2 (or to trigger a run-through to completion) would be immensely helpful.
While you can do this with a test-flow wrapped around a macro, macro development is a bit of a black box because Alteryx doesn't natively have the ability to step into a macro during run-time and pause it to see what's happening on iteration 1 or 2 or n and why it's not terminating etc. So putting the ability to run in a debug mode would be HUGELY helpful.
Report text tools currently only give the option to allign left, right or center. Would be great if we could have the option to have a true 'Justify' option also as it makes chunks of text look so much cleaner
At present, Alteryx allows for users to run 2 versions of Alteryx at once - one installed using the "Admin Installer" and one via the "non-admin installer"
However, in corporate environments, only the Admin Installer can be used (all installers are repackaged for corporate environment / endpoint management)
This leads to a situation were we cannot run two or more different versions of Alteryx on one machine (like you can with Visual Studio or other platforms). This also prevents us from participating in the BETA program because the BETA version would overwrite the users's current version. Finally - this also makes version upgrades more risky since we cannot run the new version in parallel for a period to evaluate and identify any issues.
Request: Please can you change the installer for Alteryx to default to parallel install per version - so that a user can run 2019.1; 2019.2; and 2019.2 BETA on one machine in a way that is fully isolated (i.e. no shared components - have to be able to uninstall one instance cleanly and leave the others in a fully functional state).
Many thanks
Sean
Directory Tool retrieves today a lot of information about a file. I must say I appreciate getting easily the size and the last write time.
But why not the owner? I have developped a macro with a powershell to do that but what a nightmare for a so little piece of information.
Currently the InDB tools require to select a DSN that is defined on your computer.
This makes any workflow which uses a DSN incredibly painful to deploy to the server, since the DSN needs to be created on every worker node and for a large server environment this can mean creating DSN entries on 6+ worker nodes in prod plus prod server plus dev/UAT environment plus dev/UAT worker nodes.
Could we please change the InDB tools to default to DSN-less connections, where the connection persists the connection details in-line so that it can deploy to the server without a DSN setup (since all connection details are contained within the connection string)?
Thank you
Sean
