Server Districts & Workflows as Lists - How to make it widgets like older versions?

[caltang]

As the title suggests, I really liked the widgets with the descriptions and imagery. It was cooler and easier to navigate. Why is it just Lists now?

The look and feel is no longer the same. How can one change it?

Yeah frankly it looks terrible. This is what the admin interface should look like, not end-user. Completely lost the idea of self-service on this one.

The icons as well are quite small in the list as well - hope Alteryx reviews this!

Hi,

It is tough to understand the reasons behind this kind of change. I have helped many clients with their servers and, statistically speaking, people were just not using it. 

But my best guess is performance. I have never seen a Gallery as fast as the 23.1 version and for crowded galleries, any additional resources being used to run workflows is welcomed.

I would say that the best option would be to have an option to enable or disable these types of options.

Best,

Fernando Vizcaino

Hi @npariso @fmvizcaino thank you for your inputs. I agree with @fmvizcaino - I wrote an Idea piece here: https://community.alteryx.com/t5/Alteryx-Server-Ideas/Allow-for-Widgets-List-toggle-on-Collections-a...

I emphasize the need to have a toggle to control whether we want lists / widgets. Your support on that Idea post will be very helpful!
