Image Recognition Tools

Status: Under Review Submitted 09-08-2021 Submitted by 09-08-2021

Hello,

 

  After used the new "Image Recognition Tool" a few days, I think you could improve it : 

  > by adding the dimensional constraints in front of each of the pre-trained models,

  > by adding a true tool to divide the training data correctly (in order to have an equivalent number of images for each of the labels)

  > at least, allow the tool to use black & white images (I wanted to test it on the MNIST, but the tool tells me that it necessarily needs RGB images) ?

 

  Question : do you in the future allow the user to choose between CPU or GPU usage ?

 

  In any case, thank you again for this new tool, it is certainly perfectible, but very simple to use, and I sincerely think that it will allow a greater number of people to understand the many use cases made possible thanks to image recognition.

 

  Thank you again

  Thank you again.

Create a stanardised Mailbox applicaion to handle attachments

Status: Inactive Submitted on ‎05-11-2018 07:09 AM Submitted by on ‎05-11-2018 07:09 AM

Create a standardized Mailbox application that could bolt onto Alteryx Server, to handle incoming attachments from sources like a Service Desk (Service Now for example) and other applications.

 

Essentially anything that regularly exports data in the form of an emailed attachments to which Alteryx could, using a series of predefined user rules and a designated email address, put those attachments into various directories ready for processing by automated Alteryx workflows.

 

This would save a huge amount of time as people currently have to manually drag and drop files. At least the on board Alteryx designers here haven't been able to come with a solution. Would also save any messy programming around systems like Outlook and bending any security issues within those systems. Many, many other applications have this simple feature built in to their products, especially service desks. I believe there would be a huge benefit to this very simple bolt on.

Why do we need yxmd? (workflows) Why shouldn't the default be yxwz? (apps)

Status: Inactive Submitted on ‎04-13-2018 12:31 PM Submitted by on ‎04-13-2018 12:31 PM

Why do we need yxmd files? Why shouldn't the default be yxmz? The workflow logic is the same. If you don't add any interface tools it will run, and it you want to have a interface you can. 

 

If you start off with an yxmd and then decide to make it an app you now have two files to worry about.  

 

As a habit I no longer save things as yxmd. As soon as I start a new workflow I save it as an yxmz.

 

Thoughts?

Allow manipulation of .tde before being published to Tableau Server

Status: Inactive Submitted on ‎03-01-2018 01:17 PM Submitted by on ‎03-01-2018 01:17 PM

This would allow for a couple of things:

 

Set fiscal year for datasource to a new default.

 

Allow for specific filters on the .tde (We use this for row level security with our datasources).

 

Thanks

Allow Tree to act as file browse for MAP input in analytic app or gallery

Status: Inactive Submitted on ‎05-31-2017 01:45 PM Submitted by on ‎05-31-2017 01:45 PM

Map input allows the user to connect the Q anchor to a file browse in order to navigate for a Reference Layer.

Please allow functionality for the tree input tool to do this as well.

 

Thanks!

Modify parameter value from tool output

Status: Inactive Submitted on ‎02-13-2017 12:37 PM Submitted by Alteryx on ‎02-13-2017 12:37 PM

It would be extremely useful to be able to modify a tool parameter with a single row output from another tool within the same workflow.  My current solution is to use either the Append Fields tool or embed the other tool into a batch macro with a single row as the input.  This would greatly simplify workflows and allow for a much more robust "programmatic" approach to workflow development.

Pasting interface questions from one application workflow to another resets the name

Status: Inactive Submitted on ‎09-16-2016 01:14 PM Submitted by on ‎09-16-2016 01:14 PM

If you copy a text box named ClientCode to another workflow, the name of the box will be reset to text box(#) in that new workflow. That can be a snag if the workflow the text box is contained in is deployed to gallery as an app that is ran via the gallery API... the API parameters will be looking for a text box named ClientCode but is now named text box(#). This happens almost in the background without the developer knowing they have renamed the text box and the ES eventually failing. This can be annoying; it would be great if the name were inhereted.

App output options

Status: Inactive Submitted on ‎08-22-2016 01:15 AM Submitted by on ‎08-22-2016 01:15 AM

I would love to see the ability to have a hyperlink (or even more formatting options) in my app output message. 

 

Currently I when I have an app that runs and I want my users to move off to a different web location they have to copy and paste the url that I have rather than just clicking a link and going to the external report.

Adjusting Analytic App buttons

It would be great if it were possible in future to adjustment Analytic App buttons.

 

For example Run instead of Finish or so... and so on!?!

 

Best regards

Merge 2 configuration interfaces when there is a macro inside an app

Status: Inactive Submitted on ‎03-24-2016 10:33 AM Submitted by on ‎03-24-2016 10:33 AM
1 Comment (1 New)

Hi everybody! As you can read here I had the necessity to insert a macro (publish to tableau server) at the end of a self-made app.

 

I have actually found 2 different ways to solve the problem:

 

1) Turn the macro into an app and use 2 chained apps.

2) Copy and paste tools (normal and interface) from the macro to my app.

 

Both solution work, but both require some (quite a lot to be honest) editing and re-work that actually is already done. It's kind of like to re-invent the wheel!

 

A quick way to merge 2 configuration interfaces would be really usefull.

Quick Python integration

Hey guys!!

 

I was just thinking... they might not need to fully build out a python ide, but could still reach the same objective.

 

You should be able to keep a python file on its own and call it in r.  By doing this, you might be able to have the json/xml handling of python with the visual/stats power of R while it being nicely bundled in your workflow.  This uses base functions in r and does a good job turning a pandas dataset to an r dataframe you can move along your workflow.

 

You could always just use this same idea to write a file somewhere and once it's written, your workflow will continue.  If you do, the code is literally 1 line in r...  Anyway, let me know your thoughts! 🙂

 

Will this work for your organization?
