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
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.
Apologies for posting this in the community ideas forum - couldn't find a better location.
There are a rich collection of Alteryx Tools which are housed in the public Gallery - and a sub-set of these are created by and certified by Alteryx. Could we provide a mechanism to filter to only show these Alteryx Certified assets so that we can see which have the high level of trust?
Many thanks
In the gallery you have the ability to replace a workflow with another, however when doing so the version history only indicates "Package Replaced" (see image below)
Would it be possible to change the default text and input something more meaningful, since in my case I use this field for version control/auditing so it would be good to know what changes came with the replaced version.
Second ask, but maybe not as important as the first.
Sometimes the package we are replacing with itself might have several versions, but these are completely lost when the files are combined.
Would it be possible to keep that version history when the package is replaced.
Eg. Original File is at Version 10. This will be replaced by a package that is at Version 3.
Possible solution would be to have the new version be Version 13 which includes the 10 versions from the original file and the 3 from the new.
Thanks!
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

I would like to suggest the idea of being able to handle row-level security data sources in a more seamless way using Kerberos passthrough, where Alteryx Gallery will pass the information that User A is running the workflow to the underlying DB and will authenticate as User A.
We have many workflows that are built to handle different queries of a database that are reliant on knowing who is running the workflow in Gallery. We also have many regional workers, and we want to keep the administration of these connections to the data as simple as possible.
For more information, check out the Community thread on this subject.
Hello all,
As of today, if you want to give the Alteryx Gallery user an Excel with your data out of your worfklow, you MUST design an Excel Report with Report tools.
However :
1/ It's highly time consuming to design the report
2/ It leads to many errors, especially on column size : a quick research on Alteryx community gives you several hundred topics
3/ the excel output works really fine
This is frustrating as hell for users !
Best regards,
Simon
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.
Hi all,
Currently, it is very challenging, nearly impossible, to distribute your workload between worker nodes as the image below. Curators should be able to manage this in multiple ways since the end-user doesn`t have a full understanding of the server architecture or strategy behind the idea.
It would be helpful to have the worker tags working similarly to the credentials pyramid where we can have levels of permissions. That way, we can have collections, user groups or even single users with worker tags configured.
This is an addition to the idea suggested by @ivane_meimban
Thank you,

Enhance the v3 APi for workflows - /v3/workflows/{workflowid} - to get information for first n versions and/or last n versions of the workflow.
The problem
The current API will return information about all versions of a workflow. If a workflow has several hundred versions, you'll get all version information, much of which is useless and can take a long time to process.
The (potential) solution
Allow the API to take parameters like first n versions and last n versions. This will allow the API to return only the respective version information that would be of interest to the user.

Hello Alteryx team,
I would like to propose idea that was mentioned on the community but there is no solution either.
It was mentioned at https://community.alteryx.com/t5/Alteryx-Designer-Discussions/Data-Cleansing-tool-suddenly-stopped-w...
The issue is related to Qlik Analytics Samples and error that it is causing with wrong path error for default macros like eg.CountRecords.
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,
Seb
We have a lot of Alteryx users that generate their workflows in Private Studios and set them up as scheduled Workflows, but the assigned Workers/job tags in Private Studio aren't carrying over to the scheduled workflow, which has to be updated by someone with higher access. This is creating a time consuming task for our administrator who have to update these scheduled workflows to make sure our unassigned Worker node isn't overloaded.
I am in the process of migrating apps from the old gallery to the new. I have screen captures of the results from the same app in both. In the older gallery version, if there is only a single file type available, it defaults to that file type and you click the icon for the type. In the new gallery version, you must select a file type before you can download the file, even if there is only a single type available. The dropdown makes sense for one that you have multiple types (like pcxml), but it makes no sense to require the user to go through an extra step to select a type before downloading when that's the only type they can download. Please see all the screen captures. The blue-ish background is from the new gallery.
We really like the idea of the Server Usage Report. But the PDF is somewhat limited and we use Power BI instead of Tableau. It would be great if the Workflow had an option for outputting to Power BI.
Our Organization uses a Password Manager to automate the update of service account credentials used in Windows Services.
Would like to request the ability to leverage that functionality with the Run As user inside of Alteryx Server Settings used with Workflows.
This would increase application security, while ensuring the process is automated, thereby limiting issues from human interaction.
Examples of these types of application are ERPM(Enterprise Random Password Manager), Thycotic Secret Server, and I am sure there are others.
Our corporation has multiple private studios set up (depending on various teams within our infrastructure); when we provide a user access to one private studio, they cannot be part of another private studio (to update/add/remove their workflows); they can view/see them within the collections, but cannot action them.
If possible within the Alteryx Server interface, could users be added to multiple/different private studios (and be authorized for all), and have a toggle that would allow them to switch back and forth? This would alleviate a lot of our issues we have with users reporting/being involved with multiple teams (who are requiring access to different private studios).
I would like to see some functionality in the Alteryx Gallery in which you can select multiple schedule workflows to disable/enable. Currently as an admin if I have many schedules I need to enable/disable I need to go into each schedule manually to disable or enable. This is okay for one or two, but I have about 20-30, it is very time consuming. I would like to see maybe some checkbox functionality next to the workflow to select and then an option to either disable all selected or enable all selected.
Enhancement request that there is an ability to limit collection naming rights to the collection owner and/or collection admins. Currently anyone with access to a collection can rename it.
Enhancement for the ability to trap errors at the tool level, take actions, and direct workflows based on error messages. If a tool presents an error, check for additional handling instruction in the configuration panel.
