My client's Alteryx server allows for multiple instances of a workflow to execute and/or queue. Is this a default behaviour? This works for the enterprise as is and I have a use case in which I want a specific workflow to never run simultaneously. I have a technical solution that reads MongoDB to look at the schedule and terminate gracefully if another instance is detected. This is fine for this specific workflow.
How do other people accomplish this? Is there a setting in Server to prevent multiple instances of a workflow from executing? If not, is this just a technical problem to be overcome by developers?

Currently there is no setting that you can change to prevent the same workflow from being queue up multiple times. You can develop your own solution by querying the MongoDB. This is a great idea that Alteryx could implement in the future, make sure to post this on the ideas channel.
