TS Model/Forecast Factory

Hi,

 

I am new to Alteryx. I installed / re-installed designer along with R tools. I need to build a model / forecast a TS with several indicators. The documentation shows I can use TS Model Factory and TS Forecast Factory, but those nodes aren't showing up in Time Series tab. 

 

Some help will be much appreciated. 

 

Thanks

Youssef

Hey @youssef

Welcome to the wonderful world of Alteryx.

The tools your reference points to need to be downloaded from the Alteryx Gallery first.

Here's a link to that particular district:

Youssef Hi,

 

These tools are to be downloaded from alteryx gallery, the first one is for modelling time-series for multiple groups (customer segments, products, branches etc.)

https://gallery.alteryx.com/#!app/TS-Model-Factory/5772af65aa690a1348cc6abf

 

This second one is to use the models for forecasting future events (measurements, demand, prices etc.)

and then you should install them...

Hi Atabarezz,

 

I have tried using the links to download the tool but keep getting the workflows instead of the tool icons (TS model factory/ TS forecast factory). Please advise. Thanks.

Hey there,

I keep getting the entire workflows as well.

How were you able to make it work?

 

Thanks,

Hello,

 

Please follow the following:

 

1- double click the downloaded file example: TS+Model+Factory.yxzp

2- Choose to import the workflow: this will create a folder containing the .yxmc macro.

3- create a folder to contain your macro files

4- move the .yxmc file to the newly created folder.

5- open Alteryx designer and go to options-> user settings--> edit user settings

6- go to macros tab

7- click on the + to add a search directory

8- type or click the ellipses icon to point to the folder where the .yxmc file/s is/are.

9- save and i think you restart alteryx designer(clopse and opend application)

10- you should see a new icon created for the downloaded component example TS Model Factory.

 

from now on, whenever you download a new macro follow step 1,2,4 and 9

 

I hope this helps
