Alteryx Server Ideas

Hi Team,

We have new idea which we dint find on Alteryx community, also Alteryx expert confirmed for now this is not possible.

Please find the below details:

Use Case: Automating Onboarding Process for collection creation.

Idea: Currently we are doing this onboarding manually, such as user fills up the form in Sharepoint with all relevant details for Collection Creation.

We as an Alteryx Support team, check the form and create the collection Manually.

We want to create a Workflow, such that it will read the form from SP and create the Collection Automatically without any Manual user intervention.

Benefits: If we Automate this then we can save manual user efforts and also avoid any manual mistakes.

Note: If this can be possible with any other feature of Alteryx like API, then also we are good.

Regards,

Niharika

System Administrator should be able to configure portal pages be being able to choose the columns, columns widths, and sort order.  For Example  in the collections view,  there are columns Inight Count, User Count, Studio count which add no value to my user community.  Yet the name column is not wide enought to show the full names. The collect page is sorted by Create Date which does not add value and once you get above 20 collections  

The recommendation would be to allow System Admins to be able to change these settings.  If the definations are stored a json or xml file or some other file that can be edited, allowing for the customizations.  Admins would edit at their own risk working with in parameters and documentation provided. 

Very Simple Request.

Just like how you can search for a collection, we would like to be able to search for a schedule. One team has over 5 pages of schedules and it would be nice for them to search for one to update vs having to scroll through 5 pages to find it

The Pop up window for Browser tool currently is working in the App environment but not working in the Gallery environment. It is essential when you want to show user the immediate results. there will be too much efforts for user to see the results if I use output/render tool.

Please add a TAGS filter for workflows filter

Hello,

I was recently hired by a fortune 500 company to eliminate use of their Access DB's by replacing them with Alteryx solutions.  My first step is to understand the old DB's so I know what type of workflow to build.  I'd love to have an ERD tool built in Alteryx to drop right after the input data tool.  The closest I've found is the Network Analysis tool, but I don't see that giving me the desired output.  

I would like to see how tables are connected, what manipulations are being done, when a query/view/macro was last used, what outputs being delivered. 

Thanks!

Hello

Alteryx Server with SSO configuration not able to sign request. Could you remind ? We need this feature to go into production (see attached image).

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, 

Hello Alteryx Team,

I hope this message finds you well.

I would like to propose a utility enhancement for Alteryx Server, particularly at the enterprise level. It would be extremely beneficial to have a workflow-based utility that can be configured for any licensed environment to perform scheduled backups and similarly facilitate the restore process.

Currently, the restore process is quite tedious and heavily reliant on the Server Host Recovery Guide. Post-recovery, we often encounter multiple errors, especially related to connections and add-ons, which makes real-time disaster recovery (DR) environments difficult to manage and unreliable.

While PowerShell scripts can be developed to assist with recovery, they still require significant manual intervention and troubleshooting. A built-in utility would greatly simplify the administrator's job and improve the robustness of DR strategies.

I kindly request the Alteryx internal development team to consider this feature request. I also encourage community admins and users to vote for this suggestion so it can gain visibility and traction.

Best regards,

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. 

TLS certificate lifespans will be changing starting in 2026. Managing certificates manually will become a headache for many Alteryx Server administrators. Create a method to allow automated TLS certificate installation in Alteryx Server.

47-day SSL/TLS certificates will be the new standard in 2029

For admins to be able to prioritize workflows, because by default, users are not allowed to prioritize jobs.

In combination with Quality of Service (3 - Critical Priority and above) and worker tagging, for example we have all workflows belonging to a project tagged to a specific worker, but since "Member" (default) users cannot prioritize jobs, these workflows would never run on this specific worker

Automatic Deletion of Logs files from Engine, Service and Gallery Folders for on perm servers

I think file explorer or management related to workflow in the server should be able to be seen, linked and reffered to so that much more creative way to check and use them in the server via multiple workflow can be realized. 

There are some products in the Market whic allows to install multiple services as Windows service on a single server. 

In large organizations it is found that when we are running ALteryx Server in multi node setup at that time 1 worker server has only one Alteryx service installed and runs as single windows service. If we have configured FID with log on as a service FID in that case if one FID reached to its shared path mapping capacity 1018k then it stops authentication and windows service is not able to start.

If we have multiple services installed on the same server then we can configure like :

AlteryxService.exe : FID1

AlteryxService2.exe : FID2

AlteryxService3.exe : FID3

In this case we can utilize the server compute and enhance the multi tenancy instead of adding more additional server.

The gallery needs to implement basic auditing in the data connections.Currently, there is no way to determine who or when a data connection was created or updated.

The dataConnections Collection contains data connections with these keys

Given there are multiple api versions.  I need a way to call the api and get the server version so I can make the correct API call or construct code logic which provides the user code requirement based on the versions features or limitations.

I propose a api call ../getserverinfo/ that returns server metadata like version, default worker thread count, and default memory allocation.

There is currently not a way to call the API and find out the calling user.  For instance, if I have a user API key and secret, I  to return the rest of the user info for the calling user or who is calling the api.  I propose a api call like ../user/whoami

You cannot currently upload a new workflow and specify your own workflow_id GUID.  This would be useful for systematic workflows that need to be referenced in code.  Currently, you either to search for a workflow by name, but you are not guaranteed it a workflow instance you uploaded.  This would be helpful for server and workflow administration.
