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

There should be an in built option in the Email Tool to send only one email instead of sending emails equivalent to the number of records in the attached file.
Currently, it requires to add Unique tool before the Email Tool.
I have several .yxdb files that I’ve been appending to daily from a SQL Server table in order to extend the length of time that data is retained.
They’re massive tables, but I may only need one or two rows.
I had hoped to decrease the time it takes to get data from them by running a query on them (or a dynamic query/input) as opposed to using a filter or joining on an existing data set which would have equal values that would produce the same result as a filter.
Essentially, the input of .yxdb would have the option of inputting the full table or a SQL query just like a data connection.
In the current version of alteryx, we are only able to pull the first 2000 records from an existing salesforce report, a lot of times it becomes difficult to automate my monthly/weekly requests because it is depended on an existing salesforce report and because of that I need to recreate the report on alteryx using the salesforce objects and fields.
If we had the ability to bring in the entire salesforce report to alteryx environment it would save a lot of time and effort for analysts like me because in that way, we won't have to re-invent the wheel.
Allow the User to 'de-authenticate' a license so it can be installed on a new laptop.
Hit F2 when a tool is selected or click on an existing annotation box to quickly edit it. Would save a bunch of time having to move the mouse to that left tray etc.
Alteryx's spatial tools are really powerful and offer a lot of value for analysis. However, when rendering a map for output, there is currently no way to place an image inside of a polygon. This feature would be very useful for customized layers on maps and other spatial-based processes.
My rough suggestion would be to scale a selected image to the size of the polygon's bounding rectangle, and then trim the edges of the image to fit inside the polygon itself.
The SharePoint List Input tool currently doesn't retrieve managed metadata columns from SharePoint lists (confirmed by @DanC in April 2018, Pulling Managed Metadata from a SharePoint List). This severely limits our use of the tool, as imports in Alteryx lack most metadata that is relevant for analysis and reporting.
Would be great if this could be added in a future release.
Thanks,
Lars
To navigate through XML document you need several parse tools to drill down to an element because you can only use element names
It would be nice if you case use an xml path (xpath) because of the rich syntax.
With xpath, we could specify ship_to/address/city or bill_to/address/city
Building a custom tool is nice, but the best way to show someone how to use it is to have an example. It would be great if we could package example workflows into a yxi file so our custom tools have samples to start from.
Administrators in the License Downloads Portal - for a specific License group - should be able to add or remove other admins to the License group.
There is a check box against the name of the user - to select admin rights - but existing admins are not able to save the changes made.
The In-Database tools (Connect and/or Data Stream Out) should accept SQL Syntax including comments that use "-", "--", "*/", "\*. Comments are an important part of SQL code providing documentation and have been part of the syntax for a very long time.
If there are other syntax omissions they should be added as well.
See attached email thread and Case #00322978
I think the Cache and Run Workflow option is a good addition in Alteryx 2018.3 but I think it needs more work to be useful.
For example I build a simple workflow where each tool is fed in by one tool and is used by one tool. So you have a sequence of tools. A -> B --> C --> D -- > E
Say I build A -> B -> C and I put a Cache and Run Workflow option on C, it will run the workflow and cache the output out of C.
But if I build D and E onto it after that event and put the option Cache and Run Workflow on E, it will run the whole workflow ignoring the cache output from C.
Can it be changed where E's Cache and Run Workflow will respect C's Cache and Run Workflow?
Thanks,
Mathew
I was recently surprised to find that Alteryx doesn't already havea connector to upload to SFTP sites. I've managed to work around it with RunCommand and some external programs, but it's very cumbersome. A simple SFTP upload connector would be a great addition to Alteryx.
Hi Community:
Is anyone else annoyed that the default Output Options for the output tool usually need to be changed? What I've found in my couple of years of using this (wonderful) tool is that for Excel and Tableau outputs especially, the default is always 'Create new [sheet OR Extract File]'.
But when you use that option for your output tool, you can't use the Alteryx flow again; you get an error (Sheet already exists you moron, or Extract already exists stupid) (c'mon, you know Alteryx is judging you and the strikethroughs are there in spirit).
If you ever want to run your workflow again, you've got to change it to 'Overwrite [Sheet (Drop) OR Existing Extract File (Create if does no Exist)]'.
I'm not sure about you, but I've been (passive aggressively?) hoping that with each new release of Alteryx, I would get a means to change my defaults. I would LOVE the option to have my output tools default to the overwrite, rather than create, option automatically. That one step is just... annoying to do over and over again.
So, I'm not going to be a passive-aggressive twit any longer. I am formally asking for what I want like an adult.
Can I please have an option in Options>User Settings>Defaults with a drop-down for Output tool preferences: Create by default, Overwrite by default, Append by default, and whatever the other options are generally categorised according to how the Output tools are done? I really only care about the overwrite one, but you're getting my gist at this point, right?
Thanks so much!

There are a several ways to store the Avro schema in Hive:
Alteryx only supports Option #1, but that runs into a 4000 Character Limitation which is the default schema limit in Hive’s internal DB. Is it possible to have Alteryx support the other two options to be able to support data sets with large schema definitions?
The existing decision tree node is automatic
but business users need to mingle with the decision tree, prune the tree and grow certain parts of the tree using their domain expertise...
SPSS has a nice facility as you can see below... Desperately looking forward for an Alteryx version...
We uncovered a possibility in which the user may potentially output a huge file into the Alteryx database without specifying an external system to house it - which could possibly take up a lot of space in the database we use for running Alteryx (store schedules, user and run data to name a few), this may even bring down the environment and sure doesn't seem like a good practice.
Can you please include a check to ensure that this can be disabled or capped ( specify a limit on the size) ?
The number 1 issue I have with training Excel/SQL users on wonderful Alteryx is that "<>" isn't valid as an operator - I also struggled with this.
Why should users have to learn old ANSI SQL operators, <> seems unambiguous.
Apologies if this has been posted previously, but couldn't find it with the limited Search capability, but that's another post =)..
