After a job is run on Alteryx Server, Gallery lists Job Results with a Status column containing with one of 2 values:
- Error (represented by a red exclamation point icon); and
- Success (represented by a green checkmark icon).
See attached screenshot for illustration.
If any WARNING messages are generated by the workflow, the operator/user is unaware unless they take the time to expand the message log details, then scroll through the long list of messages that typically appear in the log.
Because the Success Icon appears whether there are Warnings or not, the user must dutifully spend extra time scrolling through the list looking for Warnings even if there are none to be found.
My Idea: provide additional information under the Status column in one or more of these ways:
- add a 3rd status option with a yellow/orange icon that indicates if/when 1 or more warnings are present
- This should be a quick/easy enhancement that would provide immediate value
- append one or more numbers after the Icon to indicate counts (see mock-up example)
- There seems to be ample space for this type of info
- This could be done at a later date as a subsequent enhancement
I think that the user would benefit from a filter where they could focus on errors, warnings, or other types of messages in the same spirit as the Designer interface, but I recognize that would be a lot of work and I am not asking for that now.
