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 management of connections, especially in a collaborative environment is not cohesive or intuitive.
Currently when a unique tool is used, and a field is removed upstream then the workflow fails to move forward. If you have one or two unique fields being used then it is no big deal, but when you have a very complex workflow then you have to click into each one of those tools in order to update. This can be very problematic and creates a lot of time following all the branches that is connected after the 1st unique tool is used. My suggestion is to make this a warning instead of a fail or have an option to select fail or warning like the union tool is setup. This way people can decide how they want this tool to react when fields are removed.
Would it be possible to Hide all annotations by default rather than each time a new workflow is created? It's a simple thing but can save time.
Workflow configuration
Requesting a reduced-cost, read-only license to allow for additional users in our organization be directly review workflows for UAT and control testing. Currently, the only individuals who can see the detail of Alteryx workflows directly are those with a full designer license or temporary trial license. In our Alteryx control structure, we have additional reviewers confirming the workflow who do not have licenses, which requires copious amounts of screenshots and/or direct meetings with our licensed designers to walkthrough the flows step-by-step. It would be much more efficient to provide a license that would allow folks to click through the integrations themselves, potentially allowing for comments and annotations, but without the ability to make direct changes. This would be much more cost efficient for our organization and allow for better workflow review and control.
Create a connector for Azure Cosmos DB, integrate it directly into their Alteryx workflows
Include a tool specific configuration to allow for the ability to turn off annotations on that specific tool instead of the global setting to turn them all off.
This would especially be useful for the SORT tool.
I find myself wasting multiple clicks in order to eliminate the annotations every time I insert a sort tool into my process flow, since it is rare when I actually need to include an annotation.
Hello all,
As you all know, you can use API with the Alteryx Download tool. However, this tool is not that easy to configure.
On the other hand, the API world use a lot tools such as Postman or Bruno (an open source clone) which allows easy test, debug... I use it everytime I had to work on a rest API and then I try to translate it to the final tool (such as the Alteryx Download tool). Both tools offer "collection", a set of request, and also environment configuration. Here are some examples on the project I'm working on :
And you can even get some code
I would like to leverage those collections in my download tool configuration, that would be quite easier to use !
Best regards,

Vanilla Alteryx Chained Apps can only progress linearly, which means developers could not let users skip few applications ( or ) reach the last app in the chain ( or ) let the user select which specific app to trigger based on the requirement.
This can be bypassed by using a render tool with output as PCXML and HTML link of the Application you can trying to divert to, which does not affect the existing workflow in any way.
By using the below set of tools on any workflow/chained app you can either branch the flow of apps ( or ) you can skip a few apps in the chain.
Image 1 - Input Configuration with the flow that can be part of any existing application
Image 2 - Text Tool Configuration
Image 3 - Render tool Configuration
POC in action
Now If clicked on App 1, it would divert me to www.Alteryx.com

I find it extremely annoying having to individually disable/enable control containers in a workflow. It would be nice if there was a way to select all control containers that I want to disable/enable and then be able to right click and do it quickly in one motion. This would save me a lot of time when working with 10+ control containers.
Is it possible to add sort functionality to the Sample tool in Designer, similar to the 'Sample Based on Order' functionality in the Sample tool in Designer Cloud? This would cut down on the Sort + Sample tool combo in Designer!
Thanks!
Apologies if this has been suggested or exists. I often find myself using manual Excel files as a data source. These files frequently use cell formatting elements, such as cell color and text color, to convey important information. However, when these files are imported into Alteryx, this valuable formatting information is unfortunately lost.
To address this, a dedicated input tool that can read Excel files with separate fields for these formatting elements would be very helpful. This would be incredibly beneficial, especially when the data lacks other fields that relate to the coloring. Currently, I manage to achieve this using a Python tool, but integrating this as a built-in feature in Alteryx would undoubtedly be more efficient and user-friendly. This enhancement would not only simplify data preparation but also ensure the preservation of the full context of the original Excel file.
Hello all,
This is a very interesting feature of the List Box and Drop Down interface tool : the ability to select fields
However such a feature is not available for in-database, highly limiting the use of macros.
Please change.

Hello all,
As of today, when you want to retrieve or create a file on Apache Spark for Databricks, you have only two choices : CSV and Avro
However it's clearly missing parquet file type :
-it's faster
-it's better for storage
-it's standard and already supported as input/output of Alteryx or for HDFS so doesn't seem hard to add here.
Best regards,
Simon
Whether it is a date range or a numeric range, I would like an official tool that can tell me where the gaps exist within the range.
The basic premise is this:
Phantom spacing. Basically something that looks like it has spaces on Excel but is actually formatted as an indentation.
Unfortunately, to read the indentation we will need either a VBA prep or read the XML inside. The latter of which is difficult.
As to VBA, the general steps are to create an indentation formula in order to see the numbers, then go from there. The idea is credited to @clmc9601 as we discussed privately.
As of now, I do not see anyway to do this on Alteryx as a function or even expression. It would be very helpful especially reading trial balances or even Bloomberg outputs as they are formatted with indentation.
Reading indentation from Excel or any other file within Alteryx will be much appreciated, especially in actuarial and finance spaces.
Hello,
It's nice to have this OpenAI Connector but it seems it must be the default OpenAI URL. In my company, we use OpenAI on an Azure instance and I'm unable to connect to it.
(by the way, I know pre-sales teams have developed lot of connectors for fireworks, mistral, etc.. it would be very cool to have it available).
Best regards,
Simon
The Find and Replace tool currently replaces text or appends fields by reviewing the first word in the string and evaluating if there is a matching value in the lookup replace table. If there is, it returns the replace text or it continues onto the next word in the string and repeats until a match is found or not found.
However the functionality should be that the entire string is evaluated and the first match in the replace lookup table is returned. This is similar to how the VLOOKUP formula functions in Excel.
This makes workflows easier to maintain as the ordering of the lookup table can be amended to return the appropriate value. The ordering of the source string is far trickier to automate/change.
I have seen workarounds where append fields is used to append all lookup values to each row and then find rows which contain the string and use a sample tool to return the first row, however this causes processing issues when working with large number of records/ lookup values.
The functionality should either be changed or at least a setting which can be toggled to switch between the two options.
Hello,
We would like to have further options in the test tool. As of today you can only test if records matches (equality test) , we would like to be able to test also when it is greater (>) and smaller (<).
Thanks !
The idea behind encrypting or locking a workflow is good for users to maintain the workflow as designed.
However, when a user reaches a level of maturity equivalent to that of the builder or more, or even when changes are required - the current practice is to keep a locked and unlocked version of the workflow so that it allows for a change in the future.
It would be much simpler if we can have the power to lock and unlock workflows with a password. Users can then maintain and keep the passwords so that they can continue with the workflow.
Not everybody is on Server yet so this feature is very helpful for control before Server migration. Otherwise it’s just password protecting a folder containing the workflow package, then re-locking a new save file each time a change is made or when someone new takes over on prem.
