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

Quite often, I would love to be able to use Browse tools already while the workflow is still running, if that specific Browse tool has completed (green box around). This would help to debug and save a lot of time.
In this case, the lower Browse tool would be enabled already now.
In the RecordID tool, provide additional options for the creation of the ID, specifically allow for the ID to 'Intervals'.
For example, Record ID every 10, meaning instead of creating an ID of 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 .... you could create an interval of your choosing, the most obvious would by 10 or 100 thus your ID's would then be 10, 20, 30, 40 .... or 100, 200, 300, 400, 500 ... etc.
After closing the Table or Query option on an Input Data tool, the table layout in the Visual Query Builder view gets reset to stacking the tables/views on top of each other. It would be great if the layout stayed the way I left it the last time I closed it.

Hi everyone,
Add two additional features to a directory tool. Something like this:
Use cases:
1. Since it is not possible to use a folder browse on the Gallery, this could help a basic user create a list of possible folders to select from with the help of a drop-down
2. Directory analysis for cleaning purposes - currently, if you want to get a list of the folders with Alteryx, it takes forever for big file servers since Alteryx is mapping all the files
Both are achievable today through regex or a bat script.
Thank you,

As an international organization we deal with clients in multiple-countries.
Name matches for names including Chinese characters generate a unicode conversation warning and are excluded from the fuzzy match.
It would be good if fuzzy match could be enhanced to handle Chinese characters.
Currently, the "SQL editor" window only contain a box for typing text in, we could not see the schema and table on it's side as a reference, we need to jump back and force between "Visual Query Builder" and "SQL Editor" search for table and column names. If we could see the database schema and table in the SQL Editor interface, it will save us a lot of time.
Currently, using AMP Engine will cause any workflow that depends on Proxies to fail. This includes any API workflow or any workflow with Download tool, etc.
They will all fail with DNS Lookup failures.
Many newer features in Alteryx Designer are now dependent on using AMP Engine, making those features (such as Control Containers) totally useless when running inside a corporate network that uses proxies to the outside world.
Please re-examine the difference between how a regular non-AMP workflow processes such traffic vs how AMP does it, because AMP is broken!
I try to use the Comment tool for documentation within workflows for team members (and my future self when I have to revisit it months after I built it). It would be helpful to be able to use markdown formatting inside the tool.
This might even encourage more documentation. *fingers crossed*
Hi, I was looking for this but couldn't find a similar idea, so I post a new one. If someone knows about a similar idea, please ask the moderators to mer
CountChars(<String>, <char to count>,<case sensitive>)
Where <char to count> and <case sensitive> are optional parameters.
If <char to count> is not provided, the funtion will return the total character count within the <String>.
If <char to count> is provided, it'll return the number of ocurrences of that character within the <String>.
PS: For those tempted to suggest a workaround, I've been using REGEX_CountMatches() for this. Actually, the focus is to simplify user's experience and workflow performance providing a native function, instead of using REGEX which it's very demmanding on resources.
Using File Browse on Excel files first of all is inconsistent between running the Analytical App in the Designer and in the Gallery:
Depending on the use case, both behaviours can be the right one:
Thus, my idea is as follows:
This is a general request for uniform methods of connecting to data sources. The management of data connections is currently varied, and configurations/updates are completely different across connections.
RSA Encrypt data within the workflow prior to sending to an external API, and decrypt response.
Enhancement request for the option to Encrypt ODBC credentials instead of just hashing them
Hello all,
A few weeks ago Alteryx announced inDB support for GBQ. This is an awesome idea, however to make it run, you should use Oauth2 Authentication means GBQ API should be enabled. As of now, it is possible to use Simba ODBC to connect GBQ. My idea is to enhance the connection/authentication method as we have today with Simba ODBC for Google BigQuery and support inDB. It is not easy to implement by IT considering big organizations, number of GBQ projects and to enable API for each application. By enhancing the functionality with ODBC, this will be an awesome solution.

Hello all,
As of today, if you have admin and non-admin version of Alteryx Designer installed on your computer, and install Business Intelligence Suite, you are able to run either version. It will not run both versions. This means whatever reason you installed admin and non-admin version, Business Intelligence Suite will run with only one Designer.
I installed my computer Alteryx Designer 22.3 non-admin and 23.1 admin versions, both Predictive Analytics. I also installed BI Suite admin version, and BI suite non-admin version. Alteryx will uninstalled admin version, and kept non-admin version of the BI Suite. So, I can use BI Suite only with non-admin version now.
I'm bringing this idea for your vote to make available for both profiles/versions within Designer.
Thanks for voting
When I import an Excel file in to Alteryx I get an error: “shared strings root=x:sst” and Alteryx cannot read the file.
I can work around this by manually opening and saving the excel before importing it into Alteryx but this is not ideal, especially considering the automation implications.
I believe this may be happening because the XLSX generated by the source of the report has a prefix “x:” in all the tags in the Shared String XML embedded in Excel. See: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/office/open-xml/working-with-the-shared-string-table
Essentially, it would appear Alteryx is not able to read generated Excel sheets which has the prefix "x:" (e.g. from a bot). The second file which has been opened and saved in Excel manually can be read by Alteryx correctly.
Example of file as exported from ”BOT”:
How the same file looks once it is manually opened and saved:
Ideally Alteryx would read the file as is, i.e. with the "X:SST" tag seen above as having to manually open and save the excel before it can be read is rather clunky.
Thanks!
Hi,
Would be helpful to have an Input and Output Tool for ProjectOnline like the SharePoint and OneDrive Tools.
This way we can read the projects in a tabular form and automate our project management tasks.
Thank you.
Sometimes I want to set up a filter to compare the values in two fields in my data set. The basic filter option would be much more powerful and configuration would be quicker if this option allowed this.
For example, currently I must use a custom filter to check if Field1 and Field2 are equal:
I would love to have the option to either use a static value in the basic filter (as you can now) or select a field name from a dropdown:
It would be fantastic if there was auto-formatting for the Formula Tool (and even other tools, possibly). The auto-formatting would function similar to Python PEP-8 style, either 4 spaces or an indent on each new line. This could also be expanded to modify the existing autocomplete functionality of an IF statement with appropriate formatting.
Auto-Complete Current State Example:
IF c THEN t ELSE f ENDIF
Proposed Example:
IF c
THEN t
ELSE f
ENDIF
This would dramatically increase readability for lengthy nested IF statements or other complicated functions within the Formula tool. It would also save a tremendous amount of time when we have to go back and format those functions later.
How about a “Temporarily Disable Tool” feature where the tool is disabled? Just the same as the "Disable All Tools that Write Output" but would only apply to the specific tool you select. But, Instead of having to delete or cut the tool and connect around (as this can be tedious)! The feature could be applied to various preparation tools (and potentially more) to help save time.
For example, there are occasions when I might have a filter applied and would want to temporarily disable the tool only to see all results. This has been the case when I have wanted to include hospital wards (by temporarily disabling the tool) I was filtering out to review in the summarized totals.
The specific tool could have the same hashed marking as the "Disable All Tools that Write Output". The "Temporarily Disable Tool" feature could be listed when the specific tool is right clicked on. - The workflow could also prompt to show that the user has a tool "disabled" to highlight to the user.
