Freeze Canvas (Similar to Freeze Top Row in Excel)

Do you often present your workflows to others within Alteryx, as opposed to just printing a PDF? Wouldn't be nice to have a formatted heading that describes your workflow?

 

I'm sure you may already be adding and formatting nice headers, like many of our Alteryx tools. For example, the Filter tool:

 

Filter_Header.PNG

 

However, once you begin to scroll down the headers disappear. I recommend we add the ability to freeze the canvas. In this scenario, I would want to view this Header no matter how far I scroll down or right. This would be extremely beneficial when presenting to stakeholders. Additionally, it would be nice to have this repeat on each page, when printed!

 

Thanks,

Mark

This would also be useful if you're editing a canvas and need to continually refer back to a previous section - being able to split the screen like this would be helpful.

I'm doing Alteryx demos on a daily basis, it would be great to have this implemented.
