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.

the idea would be to be able to chain Workflows (execute Workflow B at the end of Workflow A). Or to condition the execution of a Workflow in relation to another when there are dependencies.
Most companies work on a period level basis and that is every 4 weeks. There is no way in Alteryx currently to schedule workflows to run only every 4 weeks, the monthly options do not match this cadence. If the option was added to select "every X week(s) on X day" this would also encompass biweekly scheduling as well. Outlook currently has exactly what would be needed (screenshot attached.)
Currently, we see the Districts and Collections now compressed into a list view.
Previously, the Server had the widgets feature which really showcased the self-service nature of the Sever. Losing that just made decreased the emphasis on user experience.
It would be great to allow Server Admins to decide whether they want lists or widgets to be available toggles as a design feature for both districts and collections will be of great help.
In addition, regardless of the option, the image size and wording size should be much larger - easier for people to see. Right now, we have to zoom to 150% to make it easier for ourselves to see. Having the ability to control font size, font control with bolds, italtics, etc. will be very helpful as well.
Improve Gallery scheduling to allow the end user to specify company denoted Holidays when scheduling a workflow. If the workflow is scheduled on a Holiday the schedule would not run. This should be configurable per workflow schedule. Example: A daily report Monday through Friday would be able to skip Holidays based off a Holiday exclusion list.
The AlteryxService internal authenticated API that the nodes use to communicate with each other for status is not accessible to customers because it is using an undocumented authentication method. The data this appears to provide would be useful to server administrators to determine the true health of the individual nodes and for reporting purposes.
When I create a DCM Entry in Gallery, it would be great if the users I share it with would also be able to reference the credentials in their desktop designer when they sync their connections to the Gallery.
When adding jobs to the queue via API call, you currently cannot specify the name of the job.
Running the job directly from gallery allows this as in the picture below, but there is no setting to do so in the API.
When a workflow is used in many different situations, being able to specify a name for the individual run will make tracking and troubleshooting easier.
when using the blob input for excel, server will output the input file in the output preview section.
please add an option to exclude it from output or remove this function.
Server
run log
workflow
only 1 tool in the workflow. blob input tool.
server version: 2021.4
after run workflow in server, it has to download output files one by one. it very annoying when the number is huge.
please change like other platform like SharePoint etc. enable select all options and/or download all options.
The help icon contains hardcoded links to information standard users do not need to be aware of and so it would be preferable if admins can select items that could be hidden. In our use case, the only one I would like to keep active is Community.
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,

Hi all,
For a user to know if a schedule was successful or not, they need to go schedule by schedule to check each of them.
I suggest adding one additional column to show the status of the last run.
Something like this:
Thank you,
Fernando Vizcaino
Hi all,
Having all the schedules/results centralized in the same place would be neat!
Option 1: Have all on the same page and have an additional column to describe the shared source.
Option 2: Have a separation between my own schedules and the ones shared with me.
Best,
Fernando Vizcaino
My team has started using an Alteryx Gallery 2022.1 instance and we have workflows that take a few minutes to run. Whenever we run a workflow, we are presented with a blank screen instead of the progress bar that we are used to in previous versions of the Gallery. I was wondering if there is a way of enabling the progress bar or at least setting up a load screen to notify the user that the workflow is in progress to avoid them wanting to re-run the application because “nothing is happening”.
This is what we are seeing:
This is what we are used to and would want to see when running our applications:
In a Designer App, browse to zip file and info is returned, doesn't work on Server
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.
Log changes to Gallery settings made by Admins in the UI
Admin option to restrict certain tools to not be used on the Gallery - Run, Python, Email, and R - without Safe or Semi-safe mode
Enhancement request to add the ability to restrict the ability to make workflows public
We would like the ability to configure SMTP settings in the Gallery for the Email Tool separate from the SMTP settings for Gallery notifications. We do not currently support the Email Tool being used on our Gallery, and the only way for us to prevent this is to not allow any email out from our Gallery server. This also prevents us from utilizing any Gallery notification functionality
