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.

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 Swagger page looks completely different to Alteryx Server, and essentially looks like a suspicious webpage to users clicking on. It would be preferable if this was uplifted to be Alteryx branded.
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
Admin ability to put restrictions specifically on the Designer email tool.
Enhancement request for the ability to search within workflow files for tools, data connections, key words.
Hi all,
In an enterprise environment - DB connections need to be set up from the server and pushed down to your users; and they need to be managed across the various servers in your software lifecycle.
In other words - you may have a sandpit / dev server env; a UAT env; a pre-prod; and a prod env - and each of these need to have the same DCM credential IDs so that users can access these.
(before you say "you can do this from the desktop) - that is true, however that's not a workable solution in an enterprise env because that means that users can change the password from their desktop into a prod env which is a breach of IT General Controls)
The solution here is to break DCM out in to a separate service - where
- all your servers (dev; UAT; Pre-Prod; Prod) can all point to one instance of DCM
- users can maintain their own connections and credentials
- Each needs to have up to 2 owners so that you can deal with people moving jobs / leaving the firm
- users can also entitle these connections and credentials to their team members so that when the team member logs in, it shows a popup saying "you've just been given access to new credentials / connections"
- A particular connection may have multiple different variants - depending on the environment.
- HR Data may point to a UAT version of HR data if you're on the UAT server; and to Prod if you're on the Prod server
- if a connection is environment specific - then it also needs to have segregated credentials (since the login to your UAT HR Data may not be the same as prod).
Thank you all

We previously had 2020.4 and had the Shared with Me tab on the Gallery Workflow Results. Now that is missing on 2022.3 that we are on now. This made it easy to see all scheduled flows that were shared with you that you did not schedule. It help those that monitor flows and their progress during the day. It is cumbersome to go to collections and look for them. As well as not fun to add the schedules to each collections as you have to search for them instead of just picking from the list.
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.
