The one single feature I miss the most in Alteryx, is the possibility to restart the workflow from wherever I want by using a built-in cache functionality. I have used the 'Cache Dataset V2' macro, but it really is to inflexible and really doesn't make me a happy Alteryx user. I would like to se a more flexible, quicker way of working with cached data.
On a single tool in the workflow I want to be able to set the option to:
- Enable cache
This would enable me to always use cached data from this node when possible
- Run to this node
Run from start OR from node with enabled cache to this node.
There should be lots of workflow options regarding the creation/deletion of cached data. Examples:
- Enable data cache on all nodes
This would enable functionality to always use cached data on all nodes in the workflow
- Enable data cache on end nodes
This would enable functionality to cache data on all 'Run to this node'-nodes.
...and so on. These are just a few examples, but there should be lots of options and shortcut keys revolving the cached data functionality in the workflow.
