Alteryx Server Ideas

In Alteryx Gallery admin, please add a confirmation before applying a change to the default user roles.  Since it can be changed so easily and isn't very clear to what happens when new admins make a change to that drop down.  For example:  They do not realize they changed all the default users to curators!  But they do learn quickly.

With a majority of our Alteryx users working via VPN, our Firewall systems are detecting a brute force attack if a user tries to open another Alteryx tab within 60 seconds.  We would like to request to reduce the amount of authentications attempts on the Alteryx Gallery site when launched, so there isn't 100+ 401 unauthorized errors to trigger the Firewall system to disconnect the session.

Ability to change the default workflow settings when to also include [Others may view this workflow's history] in a similar way to the other attributes in workflow settings that are set by default.  This would prove beneficial for workflows which are shared across a large team and need to be run on a consistent frequency and are not run headless.  The inability to set this by default leaves a risk that the setting remains unchecked and more than one user triggers that workflow in a given month which could result in a material impact if the output of that workflow is posting to another system in the firm.

Hello, 

We have been building a solution for a client that involved chaining apps. When we uploaded the workflow to the server, we got the below error: Workflow exceeded maximum runtime of 30 seconds and was cancelled. We were able to rectify this by having the client implement the change here. While I understand the need for the limit, is there any plan to have this fix be more obvious to the average user to implement or avoid needing to reimplement following a server upgrade?

Thanks, 

I Would Like a new Email added under [ Admin -> Notifications -> Emails ] where it would send an Email when a Schedule reaches the status "Complete" 

This can serve a couple of use cases;

1. You have many things going on and this email can let you know "This schedule has now been completed"  
   1. From my experience we usually schedule things indefinitely, however if an end was put in place this can be a reminder of whether or not to continue scheduling the workflow
2. It can also notify when a schedule inadvertently reaches "Complete" status, in the backend this could be because it has status "Corrupt: AlteryxService_RetrieveSecureData Failed."
   1. This has caused issues multiple times of schedules that are supposed to be indefinite reach "Complete" Status without our knowing. With many workflows and schedules this is not something we can babysit.
   2. brief research suggests this error could be due to restarting the Alteryx Service during a schedule, which we do weekly for our backup. And trying to coordinate a time when no schedules are running is difficult when something runs every 10 minutes.

When using In-DB with iSeries over Generic ODBC everything works fine in Designer however when executing via Gallery process fails because a semi-colon ";" is added to the SQL statement as a terminator character and iSeries rejects this SQL0104 - Token ; was not valid. Valid Values < END OF STATEMENT > 

We have a MongoDB connection string that we plug in to RuntimeSettings.xml during install.  Upon startup, the Mongo connection fails because RuntimeSettings.xml expects the connecting string to be encrypted.  The fix for this, is for someone to manually update the MongoDB connection via the Alteryx UI.  We would like a way to encrypt the MongoDB connection string for RuntimeSettings.xml before we start Alteryx for the first time.

Hi Alteryx Team,

I understand that the Timeout feature on all Workers is only available for the workflows scheduled on Alteryx Server.

In a heavily used server environment and depending on how workflows are configured, can we have a timeout feature available for non-scheduled workflows (adhoc workflow runs/manually triggered workflow runs) as well on all the Workers on Alteryx Server ?

Thank You,

Have the Alteryx Server send a notification when the license is within a configurable amount of days to being expired via SMTP

Our organization heavily leverages Active Directory for all data connections. We manage access to Alteryx Gallery Collections by Active Directory. If I want to use DCM, and share the connection, I can only specify an individual or a custom group of individuals. This is against our efforts to manage security and access usingDCM Active Directory. It would be incredibly beneficial for Alteryx DCM to support connection sharing using Active Directory. Another alternative would be to allow active directory groups to be added to custom user groups. 

I did not find a better category, but this issue relates to Data Connection Manager and credential setup with key files in a Server and Desktop environment.

Issue: When using key file credentials in DCM a Key File Path needs to be specified. This path cannot be a UNC or Mapped drive, has to be a local drive for Google BigQuery with the latest Simba ODBC driver at least. This prevents centralized credentials management and defeats the purpose of DCM. I understand this might be a driver limitation, however it's still an issue that I think Alteryx could handle.

Suggestion: Since the key file is simple text (JSON) file, it could be embedded (i.e. uploaded via the DCM interface) into the connection itself. That way it can be centrally distributed to the local computers when the DCM connections are synchronized from the server (or vica versa). I would also store them encoded for Information security reasons.

Bonus: Tying into this it would be really good if Alteryx Desktop would automatically sync Server DCM connections when a connection is made to Alteryx server the first time after the software was launched (i.e. opening a Server workflow) to keep it automatically updated.

My gallery have more than 100+ notifications. it hard to click one by one.
Want to have mark all as read button for this.

if possible split message to 2 type, admin and system, where:

1. admin (for communication)

2. system (grant user access, share workflow and etc.) 

During a recent project, I explored the Alteryx Server Download a Workflow Package API Endpoint, which includes an optional versionId parameter. The documentation suggests that this parameter should allow users to retrieve specific, prior versions of a workflow package by supplying the appropriate version ID. However, in practice, I found that regardless of which valid prior version ID was provided, the API always returned the current published version of the workflow.

This behavior presented a challenge for our automation use case, where we aimed to implement version control and retrieval solely through Alteryx Server, rather than relying on external tools like Git. After thorough testing and validation, I shared these findings with Zach Hamilton and Marty Moravec at Inspire 2025, who were able to confirm the behavior.

I appreciate the continued enhancements and support the Alteryx team provides for the Server platform and its APIs. Resolving this issue would greatly benefit users who depend on robust version management and automation capabilities within Alteryx Server. Thank you for considering this feedback, and I look forward to future improvements in this area.

As the Alteryx Server administrator, I would like to see this functionally restored.

The current Enterprise Utility Workflow does not have a match/look-up in place between the two environments for user ID's.  Thus, the migration workflow doesn't work without adding in a couple extra API calls.  When we upgrade to a new version of the utility, I have to add this back in. 

It would be nice if the workflow would come with this already configured.

When there is an app that has multiple tabs across the top but can extend down below the page, the user will scroll down to complete the boxes and click the 'Next' button at the bottom. 

This takes the user to the next tab but remains at the bottom of the page.

It would be very useful for this 'Next' button to jump back to the top of the page.

Hello! We just upgraded to 23.2, and I see in v3 an endpoint to start a job (v3/workflows/{id}/jobs) and then another to get that job's status (v3/jobs/{jobID}). Compared to v1, I think the outputs endpoint is missing (v1/jobs/{jobID}/output/{outputID}). I'd love for this to be added so we can upgrade from v1 to v3. 

I want to let my artisans choose the collaboration option when sharing dcm sources. Currently they'd have to be promoted to curators to do this.

Results page keeps defaulting back to 50.

I would like that each user for the gallery can default his own amount of records show on the gallery ui .

At the moment i go in a set it to 100 but as soon as the gallery completes a job it then defaults back to 50. i want to be able to go into settings and have a function that says default view and it remembers that every time i open the gallery.
