Alteryx Server Ideas

More of our customers (we are a premier partner) have Servers with multiple worker nodes.  If a custom macro is needed, currently it has to be added manually on each worker node. 

Would love to see a feature in the Admin portal that allows for the upload and distribution of custom macros to all or select workers. 

I am an Artisan but not the Owner of the studio - I uploaded the workflow and would like to see all the jobs (including manually triggered) that run for my workflow so I can track any issues i.e. when workflow fails. I checked with the Owner of the studio and he also can see only the runs he triggered. 

I understand from the Support team in my company that option to see all the jobs that run is currently available only for the Curator role but would be extremely helpful if you would make it available to all the users that have access to the Private Studio.

I would like to see ability to limit the number of versions a user can save of a workflow. As a server environment ages we start to see the database become unnecessarily larger because the number of version of workflows. For servers related to DEV and QA environments as an Admin I would like to be able to say users can keep their 10-25 most recent versions of their workflows. Then anything over that will start to auto-delete just like the auto save feature in Designer. 

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.

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

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.

I think it would be nice to have a user-defined name for events in the Workflow - Configuration - Events tab.  You can see in my image that the default view is not super helpful.  It would be nice to label the steps so a user can edit more easily.

It would also be nice to more easily disable or disable these items - a batch select to enable for instance.

Gallery admin enhancement. Ability for Gallery admins to have superadmin/god mode rights. This would allow admins to see all run results for all Gallery users. With superadmin/god mode they should also be able to see/track workflow version history.
