Submission GuidelinesHello,
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

I have a problem when transferring records between different O365 Sharepoint Sites. It seems that Alteryx cannot maintain 2 separate connections at the same time. I can transfer fine if I read from one site to a temp file and then, in another workflow, read from the file and write to the second site.
I can work around the problem using Block until Done, but there are some situations where I need to be able to compare between lists in 2 different sites and write back to one or both depending on the results. it would be much more convenient to be have multiple connections open simultaneously. I'm aware that Alteryx uses the SharePoint API to move information around. This API does allow multiple connections. I'm not familiar with the internals of how Alteryx accesses the API, perhaps the OAuth token is shared through out the workflow process, but this should be posssible
Thanks for considering this

Service Now dashboards really don't give me as much flexibility as I need, but can't help thinking an Alteryx connector coupled with Qlik Sense dashboards would be fantastic. SNOW seem to be supportive of Tableau - have you guys got plans to get in on the action?
Adobe analytics api current version is 2.0 but the connector still uses 1.4. This works for log in access but does not for automated access since the end points are changed and 2.0 uses a new key structure
A question has been coming up from several users at my workplace about allowing a column description to display in the Visual Query Builder instead of or along with the column name.
The column names in our database are based on an older naming convention, and sometimes the names aren't that easy to understand. We do see that (if a column does have a column description in metadata) it shows when hovering over the particular column; however, the consensus is that we'd like to reverse this and have the column description displayed with the column name shown on hover.
It would be a huge increase to efficiency and workflow development if this could be implemented.
Alternative data sources are key for enriching data. one source is social media.I believe Alteryx lacks in social media analytics.
If you are into #media, #advertising, #marketing analytics, #influencer analytics please support the idea by seconding...
There is an API called YouTube DATA API

Shopify is a popular software for e-commerce. With Shopify Connector in Alteryx, it will be very helpful for Alteryx users to integrate with Shopify.
There is no way to natively connect to Microsoft Dynamics 365 F&O. We also cannot use the download tool to connect to the API as it requires an OAuth2 Bearer Token generation step. Documentation can be found here: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/dynamics-nav/api-reference/v1.0/
I would request a tool similar to the Salesforce Input tool to be created.
Suggested process:
I would also request that this tool be developed so that it can run on Server and Analytics Hub so that we can run end to end automation.
Currently we are limited to chossing one of two layout direction options, vertical or horizontal. Why not make the direction assignable at the tool icon instead of as a module level control. I could right click the tool and have layout direction as an option which would activate a visual handle which could either allow infinite rotation control or rotation control in 45 degree increments. You can use Viso as an example of rotational control for a shape. In Visio the shape rotates, in our case since we are really looking to change the flow direction the icon could remain in the same orientation as it does now but the conenctor point(s) would rotate around the compass in say 45% increments base on the drag of the rotation handle that appears
Google Big Query can contain so-called complex queries, this means that a table "cell" can host an array. These arrays are currently not supported in the SIMBA ODBC driver for Google Big Query (GBQ), ie. you can't download the full table with arrays.
All Google Analytics Premium exports to GBQ contain these arrays, so as an example, please have a look at the dataset provided via this link:
https://support.google.com/analytics/answer/3416091?hl=en
The way to be able to query these tables is via a specific GBQ SQL query, for instance:
Select * From flatten(flatten(flatten(testD113.ga_sessions,customDimensions),hits.customVariables),hits.customDimensions).
This is not currently supported from within the Input tool with the Simba ODBC driver for GBQ, which I would like to suggest as a product idea.
Thanks,

It is great to see the ability to stage data for bulk loading into Databricks in s3 and ADLS. Previously this only appeared to allow staging in Databricks DBFS.
However the current connector included in Designer 2022.1 has a key gap in functionality with ADLS Gen 2
The only authentication method provided to the ADLS storage is though a shared key.
Shared keys provide access that is
We do not provide users the shared key for the ADLS storage, thus our users cannot take advantage of this new feature.
The preferred method of authentication to ADLS would be
Either of these options can be provided though a service principal with a tenant id, client id and client secret as inputs to the bulk load tool
This request would specifically be to allow the ACL authentication. ACL would help empower our our self service data analysts and data scientists who could have access to a specific container.
For example
storageAccount/Container/directory
The ACL access in this tool would allow the Alteryx tool to follow the same access patterns where fine grained access was provided at the directory level and not at the storage account or container level. This would provide self service analysts and data scientists to use Alteryx as they need within their directory without providing higher level access.

In alterxy BI teams, we often need to hit the same data-store - however if shared connections are not adopted in the server environment, there's currently no easy way to share the connections among the team (none that I know of)
Would be great if there were a "share" button on the data connections tab in the designer, so that we could share connections with a team, or export known good connections to a file that can be kept under config-management / version control.
Thank you

It would be really helpful if Alteryx server could connect directly to files on cloud file storage such as Dropbox, Box and OneDrive. For example; a workflow could access specific source files or a folder with multiple files stored on Dropbox and could run the workflow against those files and then write the output to another folder on Dropbox. We are making less and less use of internal file servers, so accessing files directly from the cloud allow for additional deployment scenerios and flexibility.
In the Python 3.6/3.8 versions of SF Input Tool, the business name of an object is returned (e.g., Quote). In the now-deprecated Macro-based version of SF Input, the technical name was returned (e.g., Quote, Quote__c, SBQQ_Quote__c).
With the Python Input tools, there are multiple occurrences of "Quote" to select from with the SF Input tool. This is confusing and leads to "guessing" which object is the right one.
See attached screenshots.
My proposal is to add an option to the SF Input tool to allow the workflow developer to choose whether technical or business names should be returned.
Would be great to have a dynamic input tool that is a SFDC connector to update SOQL queries based on the fly.
The current SharePoint API pull tool does not support the pull of managed metadata columns. It would be great if Alteryx would update the SharePoint List tools to be able to read in managed metadata columns.
Wild card read option (Sales_*.csv ) works for reading files of the same structure available on a standard windows network/local fileshare. It would be good to have the same feature for reading from HDFS via the HDFS connection option using the input tool.

Sandeep.
JIRA is used very widely in industry as a defect tracker, issue management system, in many cases even as a super-simple-workflow platform.
Could you please consider adding a JIRA connector to Alteryx so that teams can connect to a JIRA instance directly via the API?
Many thanks
