BROWSER INSIDE SOME TOOLS

When i have a lot of columns in a database and I don't know the specific name of a column, it gets difficult to find it inside the select and summarize tool, for example. If you include a browser inside the most used tools, it would be easier to identify the columns and reduce time. Thanks for your time.

Hi @Astryx,

 

If you click on the green anchor going into a tool (circled in red below) then you can see both the properties window as usual and the browse anywhere results window, which I believe will do what you are asking.

Thank you for the ping Joe! 

In all supported versions of Alteryx users can view a large sample of the data going into a tool by selecting the green swallow tail anchor. If this doesn't meet your needs @Astryx let me know and we can return this idea back to the new idea status.
