Submission GuidelinesHello all,
This may be a little controversial. As of today, when you buy an Alteryx Server, the basic package covers up to 4 cores :
https://community.alteryx.com/t5/Alteryx-Server-Knowledge-Base/How-Alteryx-defines-cores-for-licensing-our-products/ta-p/158030
I have always known that. But these last years, the technology, the world has evolved. Especially the number of cores in a server. As an example, AMD Epyc CPU for server begin at 8 cores :
https://www.amd.com/en/processors/epyc-7002-series
So the idea is to update the number of cores in initial package for 8 or even 16 cores. It would :
-make Alteryx more competitive
-cost only very few money
-end some user frustration
Moreover, Alteryx Server Additional Capacity license should be 4 cores.
Best regards,

We have groups asking within our organization for ways to check the status of a running workflow in Gallery. They are wanting to understand which step in the process the workflow has completed for longer-running workflows.
They are looking for an experience similar to when running in Designer where they can see which tools have been completed. At the very least, they would like the log to be reported live and not shown at the end of the run.
Currently, the run feels like a black box where they do not know how close it is to completion or which steps it has made it through.
We have tried to build workarounds like the Email tool, but have been unsuccessful. For example, the Email tool does not send an Email until the workflow completes which defeats the purpose. The closest workaround is writing our own log along the way that can be reported on which is not a clean solution.
Hello, Alteryx users,
My idea is simple but would make things way easier for the analytical app users on the Gallery.
Currently, the order is ascending and we can see all the files from all the applications we have run before.
It would help a million to see the most recent files first and only see the files related to this workflow.
Thank you,
Fernando Vizcaino
I would like to propose a number of small enhancements to the Gallery:
) is confusing to everybody except Americans. Please add support for a 24-hour format. This could be done either by extending the Locale settings or by a separate check box. Please make sure that this time format is used everywhere in the Gallery (last update, last run, schedule, etc.).
Currently, DCM credentials appear to only be used in combination with a DCM Data Source.
For ease of use for my end users (non-Designers), I would like my end users to be able to save a user ID and password as a standalone DCM credential. Then, I want the user to have the option to select that credential for use in two places:
Having this functionality would remove administrative burden from both our Designers and the end users they support.
Currently when we need to disable/enable schedule on API,we need to update all the schedule info,could you provide only one attribute to disable.
Can we just update on parameter
"enabled": true, --> "enabled": false
current update example,we need update all

HI All,
In the Gallery Page under My Workspace-->Share With Me we could see the fields like Name, Type, Owner, Shared Source, Uploaded, Manual Runs. Among these we are not able to sort the fields "Type" and "Owner" alphabetically, whereas we are able to sort the other fields Name, Shared Source, Uploaded, Manual Runs accordingly. Kindly refer the attached snapshot.

HI All,
While creating a schedule to the workflow we could observe that the frequency is basically categorized into four options like Hourly, Daily, Weekly, Monthly. When coming to the "weekly" option why the user can have a choice to select multiple days in a week here? And why not the user who select "Daily" option can have a choice to select their own days according to the requirement?. In Daily frequency we could find only one option "Run only during work Week9Mon-Fri". Whereas in Tableau Schedules we could observe Weekly frequency enables the user to schedule only a single day in a week and in Daily frequency it enables the user to select multiple days in a week which really helps the user to create schedules in an effective way.

Currently we can create static pages on the gallery from the Admin view using the Pages tab. I haven't been able to add in custom HTML code and would like to have such a page dynamically updated from the output of an Alteryx workflow Render tool (or similar). Ideally it would allow as much functionality as possible so that arbitrary HTML features could be implemented. Partly suggested by a prior idea: https://community.alteryx.com/t5/Alteryx-Server-Ideas/Embed-webpages-in-Gallery-Pages/idi-p/8963
The page title never changes from Gallery when navigating through it. This is quite frustrating if you are trying to go back to a specific page or searching for something on the browse history.
I might be missing something here but as far as I know there is no feature (user or admin) providing a list of data connections being used by a specific workflow. And conversely, which workflows use a given data connection. This should work for both 'Standard' Data Connections as well as the DCM.
When scheduling an analytical app on Gallery, there is no UI for submitting app values. This significantly limits the value of scheduling workflows and using analytical apps. With this feature, it would allow our users to have more flexible scheduling while also simply maintaining one workflow. Because this feature doesn't exist, we have had to build workarounds by either creating multiple workflows or utilizing APIs.
Since this feature is already available for manual runs and APIS (shown below), it shouldn't be a reach to also have this feature when scheduling a run.
Manual Method:
API Method: GET /workflows/{appId}/questions
Scheduling Method (no app questions):
On far too many occasions I have been working on a workflow in designer with either the outputs disabled via the configuration or using containers (preventing file creation/updating during testing) and I would save them back up to server without remembering to re-enable these outputs, which causes lots of issues down the line when users are trying to access these processes.
A simple warning on loading to the gallery that there are disabled tools and what tool id they are would mitigate this issue.
Experts -
I think the user experience in the "Workflow Results" area could be vastly improved with a simple tweak: rather than having 1 record per job we could have 1 record per workflow, with the ability to then expand each workflow to see all associated jobs, and then expand each job to see all the associated messages.
Even better: add the ability to toggle sorting by job or workflow!
Most of the time I need to find a particular job (and we may run each workflow a lot during testing) so seeing a long list of workflows with the same name is sort of clunky, and then having to go page by page looking for the job in question makes it even clunkier.
Thanks for the consideration!
Sometimes a schedule is enabled that we want to disable. We edit the schedule, click the button to disable the schedule, click "Save". Then refresh the page and it's enabled still. The schedule will not disable in some cases. In the cases where it does get disabled, clicking the "Save" button appears to have no action. There's no confirmation and the screen stays static. Two suggestions:
The workflow result window shows the Name/workflow, AMP, Priority, Assigned worker, Run as, Completed at, Runlenght, and Runtyp of the workflow. The following feature would also be useful on the page.
1. Showing the creation date of the workflow without taking queue time into consideration
2. The option to change the time zone would make it easier to analyze the logs
3. Detailed insight about the particular workflow results, such as average execution time, failure count, and success count with date filtering.
Hi all,
I've found, i guess, a bug on the Gallery. It's not really an issue as we've found a workaround for it.
Whenever you're in need to delete a workflow that is owned by your co-worker, the Gallery doesn't let you instantly delete it (yes, we're in the same private studio) (screenshot 1).
To work around this issue, you just have to replace the specific workflow by a random workflow you own (basically i just upload a workflow with a browse tool in it, screenshot 2).
When replaced, you get the god power to delete the workflow and thus also deleting the workflow of your co-worker.
It would be convenient if i could just delete the workflow without this workaround tough :-)!.
Screenshot 1 - Not being able to delete a workflow owned by a co-worker.
Screenshot 2 - After replacing the workflow by a random workflow....
Greetings,

Hello!
I found a weird bug in my travels today.
The TL:DR is that when a date input tool within the interface tool is used within a collapsing radio button, it defaults to "dd/mm/yyyy", breaking any app when this is not filled out:
Both values are default - i have not edited these values. The weirdest part is, this is Server/Private Gallery specific. When this workflow is downloaded and run within Designer:
And the workflow runs fine.
I have not tested this with any of the other interface tools, however I suspect this to not be the only tool this issue resides within.
I have attached the workflow I used (not that it would take long to recreate) for testing.
Hi folks
There are quite a few very useful Alteryx items I have been using recently that I have found on the help pages / public gallery. However, when I searched for them, I didn't quite use the correct search terms so this took longer than I had hoped and I was on a tight deadline. An example is the "Server Pre-Upgrade Checks" workflow used during Server upgrades.
My idea is to put these utilities in the Download portal in the same way that the Server Usage Report is.
Of course, there should be a limit as to what goes in there but, like the Server Usage Report can be done on a case-by-case basis.
Cheer, jonna
Today the v3 api requires curator access. V3 has Getters that should work for users with API permission. The Getter should return the objects that user has access to. Example: GetCredentials for a normal user with API access should return credentials that the user has access to. Today they get a 401 auth error.
We don't want to make these users curators just to let them access the V3 api.
