Calgary Input - Add to Default Data File Pull Down Choices

I would like to be able to add an in-house built Calgary db to the list of data sources in the pull down on the Calgary Input tool. A customer database, for example.

 

In the picture you can see the Kalibrate Technologies Traffic Counts and TomTom US Address Points in the pull down. I would like to add my own Calgary db to the list of choices.

I like this idea! You'd have to set the calgary DB location in the setting pane or somewhere but would be very useful for specific projects

I was just poking around with this and found that it is actually relatively easy to add your own database to the list:

All I did was copy one of the .ini files in C:\ProgramData\Alteryx\DataProducts\DataSets\Calgary to my own .ini file named "My_Custom_Calgary_db.ini' in the same folder, and changed the settings to give it a name and point to my Calgary database:

You need to close and reopen Designer in order for this to be visible in the drop-down.

 

I hope that helps!
