Scheduling Start and Stop times for Workflows

I would like to see the enhancement of being able to schedule a start and stop time for specific jobs that need to run multiple times per day, so they don't run during the nightly backup periods of the Alteryx server. This can cause the daily backups of the Alteryx Gallery to fail. Currently SQL Server Management Studio/SQL Server has the function to able to schedule start and stop times for specific job. Currently Scheduler page on Alteryx Gallery/Server lacks this feature.

+1 for this idea. It would also be very useful when troubleshooting or fixing issue and can turn of a single schedule with start and stop times instead of X daily schedules for each hour

Is there any ETA on development or if this idea will ever be done?

These are my use cases (and I ask the community to add)

 

  • Do not run scheduled workflows during Alteryx Gallery maintenance windows
  • Do not run scheduled workflows during maintenance windows of any other connected system (Data connection, Output location, ...)
  • Run scheduled workflows only in common office hours to reach the recipient.
  • Avoid pay per use costs (eg. costs), when night runs are useless for the users.

How do we get this moved to the next stage?  It's been in 'Under review' for quite some time.
