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
As Alteryx Admin, we want to understand what our users are doing in their workflows as much as possible to ensure best user experience. In order to do this we would like to scan through User workflow XML in order to breakdown everything going on. We understand that their are many posts on workflows already doing a lot of this but:
Our Ask: is to release XML DTD or similar documentation that can help us breakdown workflows at individual tool levels (as well as differences between tool versions)
This would allow us to further build out solutions to admin visibility of user workflows.
I would like the ability to add Groups to a collection as well as individual users. This would make things a lot easier for situations where large sets of users needed to be added to a collection at once, or removed at once.
Within the Mongo database on the Alteryx Server, when using WinAuth, if you use AD Groups for Permssioning, there is no direct way within the Mongo database to go from the AD Group to the User table. This is important if you need to report on who, base upon their AD group membership with their associated role is a user. Example. AD Group 'Example-AD -Group' is assigned Permission Curator. The AD Group contains user 'Jay Smith'. 'Jay Smith' is on the user Collection. activeDirectoryPermssions Collection contains the Ad Groups and permissions. But, in order to connect the two collections, you will need to go externally to define the AD Group memebership to join these two collections together.

We are looking for the ability to use Alteryx as PaaS in the Azure cloud similar to how Databricks is working on Azure. So servers spin up when demand shows up and then they spin down. Where we are not on the hook for server patching etc., but instead, we lease processing power/time from Alteryx in the cloud on an as needed basis. The licensing model will also need to be a scalable to support this type of usage.
It seems from my own experiences and other community posts (e.g. https://community.alteryx.com/t5/Alteryx-Server-Discussions/Scheduled-worklfow-not-picking-up-the-qu...) that when scheduling a workflow in the gallery, the gallery will run whatever version was most recently uploaded, regardless of which one has been labeled as "Published". Since naturally the intent is for the Published workflow to be the only version running, it would be nice (adnd would me much more logical and intuitive) for the scheduler to run that version.
Java Version upgrade requires LLS settings to be changed manually and LLS service to be restarted.
Product should be capable of using the newly installed configuration and not require manual Config change and service restart.
so every time there is a java version upgrade, users have to be notified of the downtime (even though they could move into 7 day grace period) and then the flexnetls.settings file should be updated with Java home path.
Password entered during installation is changed to LLS default password after the following sequence of events.
LLS Service start -> Settings update -> Service restart (to let the settings change take effect).
Avoiding this behavior will save server admin's time in changing password every time setting is changed.

Currently if there is a password change, I have to download my workflows, update the password in the Tableau connector, and reupload the files.
This would enable groups with a single sign on to ensure scheduled workflows are not interrupted.
Hello,
Currently a workflow sends notifications when is configured to do so (by adding an event in Designer).
I think that there should be an option to add a notification event for a schedule. It makes more sense because:
- I don't need notifications when I run a workflow by myself. I need it for schedules
- Turning on/off a notification is technically a development - it should be a configuration.
Thanks,
Piotr
It would be great if each user could persist their gallery UI sorting/view changes and leave them as default. When I log in I nearly always immediately switch to list view and sort by most recent modified. This means everytime I access a set of workflows there are at least 3 click actions before I can even start working.
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
My company is using SSO which prevents us from publishing datasets to Tableau or Wave/Einstein Analytics. Is there a workaround for SSO?
Thanks!
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.
We are constantly moving workflows from our Dev environment up to Prod and then back down again to improve them. Even though we only used Gallery shared data connections, and both environments have the same name for each connection; the connections still break when opening the workflow in the other environment. This is because designer actually uses an ID code behind the string name instead of the name. And, even though connections exist by the same name in each environment, the code behind them is different.
I would like a way to be able to specify the data connection code so that I can make the code the same in both environments.
We have a bunch of workflows in our public gallery that have no inputs, and so the results are the same no matter who runs them, it just depends on the time. It is a huge oversight and a massive waste of resources that a person can only see workflow results for the times that one user ran the workflow. If I have user A run a workflow at 10AM and user B doesn't know about it, he's going to run it at 10:05 AM and we just wasted valuable compute time and resources to produce the same exact data set.
Or, say it runs on a schedule, and you want people to access the results via gallery instead of saving as spreadsheet or something somewhere. But you can't. Only the person who setup the schedule can see the results.
Now, I can see that some workflow applications may produced different results based on inputs, and some results may be sensitive. But then at least make it a check box when publishing the workflow to gallery whether or not results should b shared globally.
Currently it takes four clicks and three displays (including the current scheduler display I'm attempting to post as well) just to temporarily disable a job. It would be so much more convenient if there were a one touch icon on this display that allowed you to do that function.
Hello,
Looks like the user inputs (check boxes, free text fields, drop downs, file uploads etc., ) to the app are "temporarily" stored during the course of the app "Run" time. These - especially the "uploaded files" get deleted from the temporary folder after the successful run of the workflow.
Ex: user uploads 2 files to the app as inputs. see attached interface.
It is important that the user selections are persisted on the alteryx server for debugging, investigation, audit trail purposes.
Of-course - there are workarounds by some extra code/logic within the app. But - in-order for the "server" tool to be considered as robust/industrialized - it is critical to "log" the user interactions on the server side.
Is it something already looked into?
Regards,
Sandeep.
Commas save lives! With large numbers, it's difficult to see what number was actually entered without commas present, and the wrong number can easily be entered as a result:
Is this number
It's hard to say without taking a really close look!
