Download All Output Files

[Paraggaikwad07]

My workflow in the Alteryx Gallery generates multiple output files (typically 5–6) upon execution. Currently, I have to download each file individually, which is time-consuming and inefficient. I would like to request a feature or enhancement that allows me to download all output files in a single action—either as a zipped folder or through a bulk download option. This would streamline the process and improve usability, especially when dealing with workflows that produce multiple outputs.

@Paraggaikwad07 This is a good idea, I would post this in the ideas section to get more traction. Go to Participate>Ideas>Server, and post your ide.

I agree with @abacon that this is a great idea to post.

Regarding your immediate need though, I think you could consider outputting the multiple files to a common location that you or your end-user has access to.  This way you are avoiding having to make them download the results.  This, is essentially, how I got around the problem you're describing.

I have one workflow that calls for 3 different templates depending on the data, and then generates up to 8 different output files all at the same time, saving them to a predesignated location.  All in one shot.

Anyway, hope that's helpful.  Cheers, -Jay

you can zip the files yourself in the workflow, then output the zip file for download. 

here's a community post about zipping files: https://community.alteryx.com/t5/Alteryx-Designer-Desktop-Discussions/Run-Command-Tool-Zipping-Files...

I use a macro I found on the community to do my zipping. I'm not at a place to find the link right now but you can search for it in designer and I'll come back and edit in a link later.
