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,
Simon
I wish Alteryx had an Alteryx gallery not only for workflows but for pure data sources as well which we can access with;
And I would like to be able to get weather data as a starter;
But especially the most needed aspects are;
Obviously 5 day 3 hour forecasts for all these aspects are another thing and probably this will generate some revenue...
This information is so essential in order to accurately forecast
Mathematica (since version 7) and wolfram has this built in already!
https://www.wolfram.com/products/mathematica/newin7/content/CurrentAndHistoricalWeatherData/
http://demonstrations.wolfram.com/symbol.html?symbol=WeatherData
This is the source of data; http://reference.wolfram.com/language/note/WeatherDataSourceInformation.html
Totally agree that maintaining a data source covering worldwide is not an easy task but I think will help Alteryx users and customers a lot...
When you want to re-run a chained app in Alteryx Server, give the option to run the first, second, etc app. Right now it only reruns the last app.
Hi
My idea is to facilitate scheduling through Gallery vs the separate scheduler built into Designer. The reasons for this:
Thanks,

Please bring back the feature for showing the approximate file size for a workflow & dependencies when publishing/saving to the Gallery. This "feature" was part of 9.5 (see lower left in the attached screenshot). This is a useful indicator and helps highlight when there is a large external dependency that will get replicated onto the server when publishing.
An example of when this is useful:
When a publisher sees a large file size, they might change the dependency path from being a local path (that will result in a copy being published to the server) to a UNC path i.e. \\servername\path
It might also be useful to add the size information as a column in the "list view" in the Gallery.
Please consider adding this feature to the Alteryx PRIVATE Galleries. This is a feature of the Alteryx Gallery and would be useful for our clients too.
Thanks,
Mark
Our team is still fairly new to the Gallery, so if there's something existing that I'm missing, I'd be glad to hear it.
I recently found the following thread : http://community.alteryx.com/t5/Publishing-Gallery/Get-App-User-name-at-Run-TIme/m-p/775/highlight/t...
Which included a text box input with a title of "_cloud:UserID". I was able to use this to pull in things such as the users login information, email address, etc.
I would like to be able to use a function similar to this in order to generate user-specific usage reports, or dynamically update a "Send Email" tool with the email of the running user.
However, when I inquired about this "_cloud:UserID" API call, I was told that it is an undocumented and unsupported call.
Ideally, I'd like an application/macro tool that does something similar - which takes the user's credentials automatically from the gallery and runs the Application based on those credentials. This could modify Emails or filter the output of the Workflow. I'm sure there are other use cases as well. I think having an officially supported tool to manage this would allow for a wide variety of dynamic applications on the gallery.
I've been writing applications and regularly need to REQUIRE fields for data entry. When I do, I include ERROR MESSAGES at minimum. Often I label the field as something like: Name (Required). Wouldn't it be nice to have a red star or have the data field in another color for background? Taking this a step further, the validation rules being activated within the screen (rather than during run) would be awesome.
As long as I'm posting ideas, it would be nice to have an Alteryx supported function to identify the user within the application global variables. For users, it would make my apps more friendly if they could save their configuration (*.yxwv) in the gallery. Extending that thought, within my application I would like to be able to have easy access to their responses as well.
My use case for access to the .yxwv file data is that I will repeat some of the fields back to the user within my output. When needed I will write the responses to a text input tool and format it for display in the output. That requires an additional action and maintenance within the application.
Just a few application thoughts.
Thanks,
Mark
The SDKs are great and allow the community to expand Alteryx in many ways. I think it would be great to have some way to package these so we could easily share them and provide updates and fixes.
Not sure how many people use the SDKs but being able to easily share and install the output would help up take I think.
As an enhancement to the gallery, I'd like to be able to save my application parameters in the gallery in a similar fashion to when I run an app locally. Users can view the results of an application run, but can't save the parameters that created the run. I'll go a step further than this and ask for another enhancement. I'd like to be able to access the questions & responses within the execution of the app to display them during reporting.t
Use case:
For a list generation application, I need to present to the user the criteria applied during the selection process.
Input Address: 49015
Type of Vehicle: Chevy
Minimum Year: 2010
Maximum Year: 2015
I've got a working solution that is okay, but not very "Alteryx-easy". I need to have a second update attached to the interface tool to update the user response.
Thanks for your consideration,
Mark
Currently when I log into the Gallery, I can see all of the users who are using license keys assigned to me. I would love to be able to run some reports on usage and activation date as well as export the list of users to excel/csv.

The more I'm digging into the Private Gallery (on our own Server, not gallery.alteryx.com), the more I'm feeling that the UI and functionality is very non-user-friendly.
I would like to do something that I think is very basic (I am the Admin of the Gallery):
1. Create Apps and put them in various Collections.
2. Grant people access to certain Collections.
3. Have those people, when they log in, only see the Collections to which they have access to (that I granted them). And then run the apps in those collections. Nothing more, regardless of who they are.
4. Given all three of the above, but I do not want to see them listed as an Artisan, nor do I want to see them have their own studio
Currenlty, no matter what I do, they have Studios, and some are listed as Artisans (and as mentioned in a prior post, you can't delete their Studios). I've tried using Windows Authentication, but I get errors so that's not an option. It would be nice if the above were options regardless of the Authentication type.
When setting custom "Theme" settings for a private gallery, the filter icon seems to be missing. Other similar UI elements are color themable such as the search icon:
Via the setting here:
But the filter icon doesn't have a section to set its color to something besides the stock teal:
Can we please have this icon be color themable? My customized theme has all of the teal removed, except for this icon.
Thanks,
Ryan
It would be useful if the Admin of a Private Gallery (in house server) could delete studios and/or members. Also, it's confusing that a member who's added also gets a Studio automatically set up. Members (for my purposes) are only supposed to be able to run apps in collections that I grant them access to. They should not get their own studio. Even if they can't use the studio (or even know that they have a studio), it's not very efficient to have all these studios show up on the subscriptions screen.
I was trying to embed the javascript share embed source or an <iframe> tag from our Tableau server into the Pages functionality of Alteryx Gallery Server admin section. What I like to do is be able to show inside the Gallery pages the Gallery Usage and Scheduler setup, usage and results from a Tableau workbook we built of the MongoDB. In this way our Alteryx server users can view their usage and Admins/developers can see what is scheduled and results over time.
In general embedding webpages besides a link as iframe or javascript embedding would be a nice feature. We have an Alteryx Community page internal with various collaterol pages we can embed and share for training purpose directly on the server if that could be enabled.
Currently the BODY element of the editor does not allow for javascript or the <iframe> html tag.
Hi,
We need a way to figure out at which tool alteryx workflow is currently at (i.e., workflow execution progress log) when the workflow is running on the alteryx server scheduler.
This is very useful especially if you have analytical workflows that take long time to run (say 4-6 hours) and at the moment there is NO WAY to figure out at which stage the execution is at from the scheduler.
We can't open the log file on the server as the workflow is IN PROGRESS (we get the standard The process cannot access the file because it is being used by another process) . We can't see the underlying progress log under Scheduler Queue tab either.
It will be useful to capture that information in MongoDB or somewhere so that we can read the In progress log in the real time..
Thanks,
Sandeep.
It would be great if there was a way to turn-off the validation processes associated with saving applications to a private gallery. Alteryx is an amazing workbench because it allows users to build a variety of correct solutions. However, we cannot publish several of our quite correct solutions because they don't pass the, as we see it unnecessary, validation requirements for saving to our private gallery. The issue, if unresolved, will be a roadblock in our application development and deployment process.
A couple examples..
It would be nice to connect multiple Databases from different servers, without configuration of Linked Servers
There is Alteryx Designer, Alteryx Server and now why not an "Alteryx Cluster"?
Does it sound attractive to you to build a Alteryx Server+Hortonworks bundle or package that you may set it on 2 or more machines and your compute cluster is ready to go?!
As far as I know Alteryx Server has MongoDB installed on it
guess not to create a data lake but to store gallery macros and version history...

Idea:
To create an IoT district for the Alteryx Gallery...
Rationale:
Many vendors are now focusing on the IoT wave,
having some examples on IoT use cases would be a nice resource for many...
Best
So there are freemium apps in the gallery and
server customers have their own apps published in their private galleries...
What if one want's to sell apps like in iOS app store,
Provide insights from the app as a service either prepetually, annually or monthly so that the locked apps can be used
possibly payments being handled over Alteryx Public Gallery.
Does the Alteryx roadmap include such a business model in the future?
