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

Thank you again.

I want to connect to Salesforce without Security Token.
Salesforce doesn't need Security Token when we set Login IP Ranges.
Actual Condition:
Thank you for considering our request.
I will be using TS Model Factory tool for running ARIMA quite extensivelty and understand that existing tool does not allow for model customization options. I will really appreciate if we can have customization options which helps to specify order of AR or MA components like it can be done in ARIMA tool.
Thanks!
I setup a generic template because the excel files do not have a consistent schema. This is the template
which is interpreted as text
When I feed files into the dynamic input tool the output configuration is
This is the schema of the first file read by the DI tool. Why didn't it use the template?
The requirement to have all the schemas match is difficult - especially with excel.
I would like to suggest the input tool have a checkbox to override the data driver and interpret all columns as text.

It would be cool if, in the API, we could get at all data fields for the relevant dataset, without having to manually list them in the Expression builder area. Example: if we had a formula function called "AllFields()" that returns all fields. Then, supposing we had a huge data set with hundreds of fields, we could do something like Average(AllFields()) in order to average all of the fields without listing them individually.
And I know, the multi-field formula is there also, but it would still be handy to have this, especially in conjunction with the API, where I'd like to be able to write methods that cruise all data fields to do this or that. Thanks!
It would be nice to be able to search "Variables", "Functions", "Saved Expressions" within the expression boxes of tool configurations, instead of having to fiddle with the hierarchical tree structure all the time!
It would be great if it were possible in future to adjustment Analytic App buttons.
For example Run instead of Finish or so... and so on!?!
Best regards

While manually entering expresssions in tools say for example Formula tool, if an error occurs, apart from the error definition displayed below, there must be auto correct options available depending upon alteryx interpretation. It must provide suggestions to rectify the error in the expression.
Such functionality is present in other softwares and it would be great if alteryx add this too.
In trying to work with varying content and rules for extracting information, the regex tool requires a literal string.
The functions can accept a workflow parameter but I needed to parse out the results.
For now, I have only a few patterns but looking to handle a more general case. Thanks
It would be nice to have the expression box (found in formula tools etc.) and the join selection (found on joins etc.) as interface tools.
The new 10.6 leaves all this empty space to the right of the "Connect" field and "Options"/"Preview" fields. This means I have to drag out my tab way farther than I used to in order to see the same amount of information... Can you go back to having these fields stretch all the way to the right of the frame? When you have huge workflows, every little bit of space really matters.
Wasted Space!
Look at all that empty space!
I would love the to get back the ability to use WHERE clauses in the custom SQL to manage the data that gets imported from xlsx files. I can currently use the legacy driver but would like to have that added in for the current driver.
The file geodatabase reader is very cumbersome especially when navigating through a server directory. Can this be fixed or reworked?
It would be awesome if we could perform a 'create or replace' on an excel file with the output tool. The tableau TDE extract has an output option that says "Overwrite existing extract file (Create if does not exist)" If the excel file format option could have this same output option that would help out a ton!
The Directory Tool would be more useful if it could output the file extension as a separate field.
Currently excel files with top lines frozen do not read into Alteryx. This causes extra manual work, as a default setting for the output of one of my reports freezes the top line automatically.
Could the workflow name be retained when browsing for a YXZP save location instead of blanking it out as soon as you change folders?
Give the option in the tags properties to place the tag to the right of the tool.
Have this be the default setting for Browse and Output tools or others that would normally be found at the end of a workflow. This allows the detail to remain and a cleaner view of the module.
When you have multiple workflows open in tabs and want to rearrange them, it's kind of hard to tell where the tab is. In Firefox and Chrome, as examples, the tabs move around as you drag - if you drag a tab left, the tab next to it will slide to the right. In Tableau, a line with an arrow appears in the location where the tab will be dropped. But in the Alteryx interface, the new location of the tab is not so obvious. A line or something at the destination point would be great!
Please ignore this post! I just discovered the amazing dynamic input tool can accomplish exactly this 🙂
This is no longer a "good future idea" but simply a solution already provided by AlterYX! Thanks AlterYX!
Hello everyone. I think it would be incredibly helpful if all input tools (database / csv files / etc..) had an input stream for data processing.
This input stream would cause the tool to fire if and only if at least 1 row of "data" was passed into it. This would work similar to the Email tool, as the input would simply not fire if no records in the workflow were passed into it.
By making this change, AlterYX could then control the flow of execution when reading / writing to database tables and files without having to bring in Macros or chained applications.
The problem with having to use batch macros and block until done to solve this problem is that it obfuscates your workflow logic, making it much harder for another developer to look at the workflow and understand what is happening. Below is an extremely simply example of where this is necessary.
Example: any time you are doing a standard dimentional warehouse ETL.
Step #1: Write data to a table with an auto-incremented Key
Step #2: Read back from that table to get the Key that you just generated
Step #3: use that key as a foreign key in your primary Fact table.
Without this enhancment you need at least 2 different workflows (chained apps or marco's) to accomplish the task above, however with this simple enhancement the above task could be accomplished in 3 tools.
This task is the basic building block of almost all ETL's so this enhancement would be very useful in my opinion.
When attempting to connect to an oracle database, if the connection is unsuccesful, nothing happens so you just sit and stare and wait for the SQL window to pop up. It would be helpful if there was an error message to tell you that the connection was unsuccesful.
