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.

Simon
It would be helpful to be able to customize the color scheme in Alteryx gallery to differentiate between the Production and Sandbox environment. This would be a quick check to ensure you are in the correct environment.
Hi
It will be great to make visibility of workflow execution results to other users in same subscription.
As of now, only schedules are visible to all users in a subscription, but not the workflow execution results executed by a user to other users in same subscription.
This will avoid duplicate execution of same workflow by multiple user in a team as it will provide option to cross check the execution results by other users, if executed already, before execution of same workflow.

Currently the Gallery does not support Chained Apps or workflows triggered by events or Run Command Tool.
Please enable Chained Apps and flow triggering from Events and Command Tools.
I started building Apps a lot this last year and I have been using events and Run Command Tool for 3 or 4 years regularly. In both cases I can't migrate most of them to the Gallery because the Apps chain and many flows trigger other flows in before and after events or Run Command Tool.
This should also enable the CReW macros that trigger flows.
Wanted to grab some attention here regarding the Alteryx gallery search engine (which also bleeds over into searching for schedules and jobs when troubleshooting).
Since a picture is worth a thousand words, I'm pasting two pictures (one attachment) of searching our gallery for the word "Contour" and the word "Signal". Both of these words are in the title of a single workflow - when I search for the word "Contour", the workflow pops up. When I use the first word in the workflow, which is "Signal", it doesn't pop up.
I appreciate all that Alteryx does, but I wouldn't think this should be a difficult issue to fix, and I would imagine there are other frustrations with the functionality here.
Currently the server diagnostics (http://localhost/gallery/admin/#!diagnostics) covers a narrow time window (from what I can see - only the last few hours)
.... and if you attempt to zoom out or pan to see a broader time window - the graph gets smaller, but the data does not grow to fill the remaining space
Please could we request 2 changes:
a) add a time axis on the bottom of this chart so that the user can understand the time dimension
b) Increase the time available for analytics to an arbitrarily broad set of data (which the admin can configure as a server setup parameter - retention period). For us - we'd want to keep at least 3 months of data, and be able to view this analytically.
Thank you

Everyone on our team would benefit from having access to each other's workflows -- including workflow results and scheduling -- but publishing them to gallery where any user in the company can run it/ download it would present a security issue. Functionality that is not met with Collections. I found a similar idea, but not anything that encompasses the whole thing.
It would be of immense value to have a Team Gallery - something intermediate to the company gallery and the private collection. This would enable our team to have access to modify, publish, schedule workflows as a team.
Allow the server administrator the ability to create named, shared, custom calendars, such as:
-- Holiday Calendar
-- Manufacturing Calendar
-- Accounting Calendar
-- Trading Calendar
--etc
The idea is to have a predefined calendar that can be used, by name, with identified working and non-working days.
Hello,
Now it is possible to share a collection which a user who is not granted to access Alteryx server.
We use AD to grant users access to Alteryx Gallery. However, when a user is not in this group, it is still possible to choose him as a person to share.
In my opinion, such user should be indicated as someone who won't be able to use a shared collection, or he should be presented at all.

I'd like the ability to embed my Alteryx Gallery apps into another webpage (Google Sites, etc.). It would be great to see a feature on the gallery to generate this embed code much like how Tableau uses this feature for dashboards.
Following up on this post (https://community.alteryx.com/t5/Alteryx-Server-Discussions/Server-logs-do-not-include-download-tool... ), inclusion of the activity of the download tool in the Server logs would be very useful in monitoring this high-risk capability within an enterprise tech environment.
Hello,
I can't find an option in Alteryx Server wizard to enable redirection from http to https. Alteryx Service occupies both ports so I can't (and I don't want) to deploy a redirection on port 80. Such feature would be really helpful if it comes out of the box.

Piotr
I would like to have the ability to configure my company's Gallery to display more than five applications/workflows to a page. This is a waste of screen space and creates unnecessary clicks for browsing.
Hello Alteryx Team,
we would like to customize SAML login with additional claims (departement)?
We want to grant authentication based on claims we are using in addition of firstname, lastname, email.
So we need custom code as well, is this possible to integrate or merge with alteryx code ?
simple example would be:
we add city to the claims and on user with from city "New York" will be accepted all others will get access denied page.
Best regards,
Heinrich
Hello,
The Analytics team for our company services 9 different lines of business, and it would be helpful to create sub folders within each line of business. It would be helpful to be able to restrict the access for each individual sub folder also. Our team deals with different teams within each line of business, and they may need to have different access due to sensitive content.
Thanks,
Erik M
Hey there,
Below you can see few of my suggestion to improve Alteryx Server.
Idea for Alteryx Server monitoring:
Give server more functionality with:
Hopefully you will find these suggestions interesting and useful.

The admin (aka curator) needs to be given more control. The admin should have greater control than the users of the system.
My organization is in the Healthcare industry and we have HIPAA laws to abide by when it comes to data. Not all users should be able to see all data. Developers should not have complete control over the data they publish.
Private studio
Collections
Get tips from Tableau as they have admin controls down with their permissions process.
The Inputs to an Alteryx App look very clunky and are not formatted well on the Gallery. The App Inputs look fairly decent when executed from Designer, but the Gallery input tabs looks like a work-in-progress that never got out of beta. We desperately need some way to make the app input tabs aesthetically pleasing and functional. An "artisan" does not like to create a masterpiece app that has a Model-T front end.
Gallery Scheduler can schedule the workflows recurring,custom and once.
Idea 1 : Incase the scheduled run fails it would be good to have an retry option incase the source file path has network latency or network glitch.
Idea 2 : It would also be good if the scheduler checks if the latest feed or file is present in the source file path and have an option to kick off to run job the moment the latest file is present.
Idea 3 : For workflow to run on start and end of the working day month date we currently do not have an option in scheduler. we have an option to choose the first day and last day but the first and last working days in a month.
Idea 4 : When we choose the replace workflow option that changes the version of the workflow on gallery the schedule automatically is disabled. We will have to manually enable the schedule and also re-enter the credentials which is difficult if we keep updating our workflows every time with new changes as per business needs. request to have the schedule option enabled incase the replace workflow is done and also not to erase the workflow credentials.
Gallery Devs -
When I click 'Add Tags' to an application in Gallery, the tag listing comes up chronologically by time time created, as opposed to alphabetically. It looks ridiculous to see this:
Underwear
Shoes
Dresses
Bandannas
Socks
Jewelry
This is the easiest fix ever.
When a workflow is run manually in the gallery the user is able to enter input parameters. However when using the schedule functionality this option is not available and a separate workflow needs to be developed to dynamically derive input parameters. Effectively two separate versions of the workflow need to be created and maintained.
If this functionality could be built into a future version of Alteryx this would be of significant benefit.
