One button to show results in new window

Dear Alteryx Gods, I beseech thee!

 

The most common use of the Browse tool in the Alteryx Designer is to pop the results out into a full window. Can we PLEASE have a single button to do this rather than this functionality being hidden under the action menu?

hi @mceleavey, thanks for your feedback! What do you envision this looking like? The current options are New Window (All Records) and New Window (Selected Records) - all records could be quite sizable, but users may not have any records selected. I'm curious to know more about what you'd find useful in this scenario?

Hi @CristonS ,

 

to be honest, the only one that is ever used is New Window (All Records). I might be wrong, but I've never used anything else and I've never seen anyone use anything else.

It would just be nice to have that button.

 

Happy to be corrected, but even if that has ever been used, the most common by multiple factors is New Window (All Records).

 

Cheers,

 

M.

Alteryx Gods, I have an amendment to this.

Having thought about this further, would it be possible to have the window for all records simply pop out when the browse tool is double-clicked?

That would make my life 1.46% better than it currently is.
