Currently you can only view the workflow results / history for other users workflows that are scheduled and the schedule is shared in the collection.

 

A lot of our workflows are set up to run on-demand, some as analytical apps and some as standard workflows. 

 

The first point of reference when a user experiences an issue should be to view the workflow results, but currently this is not possible and just gives an error "Access Denied" even when the tick box is selected within Workflow settings.

 

My suggestion is that you should be able to see the workflow results of any workflow that is shared with you (regardless of whether it is scheduled or run on-demand) as this would make fault finding and user support much easier.

 

Thanks

Hello,

 

When trying to move and order the districts, it gives the impression that you can organize them in a particular order..

Districts Don't change order.jpg

 

But what comes out on the Gallery side remains in Alphabetical order..

Can this bug be fixed please

We would like Gallery admins to be able to add any workflow to a collection - not just the workflows they authored.

The purpose is to have one collection where we have a set of workflows that were reviewed and approved for audits.

Only the reviewer could add to this collection

My team utilizes the Gallery API extensively and have found that we have processes that the API has listed as actively running, but cannot be found via the Controller's GUI.  As a gallery artisan, I can call flows via API, but cannot cancel these executions unless I reach out to the administrator group to kill them manually. 

 

It would be extremely helpful to add an endpoint with the ability to submit a specific job GUID and have the server/controller kill the execution of that flow and clear up the server capacity.  This could then be scheduled on a regular basis as a maintenance  task to keep the server clean.

 

Thanks

When saving to our company's gallery, we must deselect dozens of assets for our numerous workflows every time they need to be resaved, which is very frequent.

 

I would like to suggest a select/deselect all button under manage workflow assets. This would save a considerable amount of time.

Thank you,
Daniel

I would like to be able to open a user from the gallery - and see which collection(s) that user is in

If my collection is broken - I cant see users at all

Hey Team,

 

With 2020.3, the new Groups feature came into light, which is great, but seems like it was only half-thought.

It would have been nicely complemented with some API endpoints that would allow managing the groups' members - add, remove, list members, etc.

Seems like the API on Alteryx is like 100 steps behind and seems like the new developments are not considering adding APIs for the new released features. I feel this is a product roadmap issue.

As an admin, I would like far more ways to automate managing the Server/Gallery than the ones currently provided by Alteryx.

 

Integration with AD would be nice as well, we use SAML, and would like to have the option to import AD groups that would sync automatically in Alteryx - same way Tableau has those groups that are imported directly from AD.

 

Thanks,

Alex

Hi all,

 

i hopped onto Azure tonight to see if I could create an Alteryx server to start learning Alteryx server as a skill.    I was expecting the cost to be somewhere in the range of Microsoft SQL server on Azure, or Microsoft Power BI (a few dollars, but not more than $20 per month for limited usage).    I was fairly shocked by the price on offer (8k - 10k per month), with no option to price this by usage.

 

Could we work together to create options for people to stand up their own small Alteryx server like this for the purposes of learning - right now there is no way to learn Alteryx server unless you are actually an admin of a live server, which makes it impossible for people to learn this at home to build their skills (and impedes Alteryx building a base of skilled users in the market).

 

Happy to work with the team to help make this a reality.

 

cheers

Sean

We have a usecase where we want to check how often a workflow runs via the API so we can automate the consumption reporting we do internally. Right now the API only reads out workflows that were scheduled using said API. That doesn't make a whole lot of sense. Enabling it to also read out all the other workflows would really make this a powerful feature for us and I suspect others.

HI,

 

I could not find any possible way to send an email if the Alteryx workflow is taking more than expected time.

I was wondering if any such feature is available

 

In my organisation, Alteryx workflow keeps running sometime due to memory issues. It will be great to know about these delay and handle them.

Vish

In our private studios and in our home page we see our workflows in grid view by default and can toggle that to list view if we want. 

BUT we can only see our collections and the workflows in them in list view.

 

Please can you add the ability to view our collections in grid view?

Password is required to execute any command on LLS. Last time we forgot the password, only way to retrieve it was to reinstall the LLS ! 

A command to reset password in LLS should do.

The mongo db back is a working process but I would like to replace individual workflows and not the entire server state.

Hi Alteryx, 

 

Now, under the Job Tab, it is only show the status of running job.

 

Suggest to add one new page for showing the run history of each workflow/job.

 

1. Workflow name

2. Priority 

3. Assigned Worker

4. Start time

5. End time

6. Duration

7. State

8. Job Type (schedule or manual tracker)

9. Owner

10. Message ( e.g. error log)

 

Best regards,

Samuel

Hi Alteryx,

 

The scale of the column width in Alteryx Gallery is fixed.

Sometime may not show the whole word of that column, it is very inconvenience.

Actually, not only in gallery but also in designer. Like the Manage Data Connections pop-up window. 

 

Even in 2019.4, the display problem hasn't been improved. 

Can Alteryx improve the UI of gallery and designer asap?

 

Best Regards,

Samuel To

 

 

 

 

All of the default values for the RuntimeSettings.xml can be found in the C:\Program Files\Alteryx\bin\RuntimeData\RuntimeSettings.xml.

 

These values are overridden by the RuntimeSettings.xml file in the ProgramData folder. Unfortunately, there is no “formal” documentation right now.

 

The suggestion would be to show users the universe of XML tags and their corresponding accepted value configs, and other data related to the XML entity.

 

Element Name ServiceProviderEntityID -> child of Authentication -> grandchild of SystemSettings

FieldDescription
DefinitionThis is the URL of the Alteryx Gallery authentication service provider.
RequiredYes
Allowed Value Data TypeString

When I added data connection on Alteryx Server, there are many unsorted databases. If it is sorted, it is easy to find.

Currently the Gallery does not support Chained Apps or workflows triggered by events or Run Command Tool.

 

Please enable Chained Apps and flow triggering from Events and Command Tools.

 

I started building Apps a lot this last year and I have been using events and Run Command Tool for 3 or 4 years regularly.  In both cases I can't migrate most of them to the Gallery because the Apps chain and many flows trigger other flows in before and after events or Run Command Tool.

 

This should also enable the CReW macros that trigger flows.

 

I'd like the ability to embed my Alteryx Gallery apps into another webpage (Google Sites, etc.). It would be great to see a feature on the gallery to generate this embed code much like how Tableau uses this feature for dashboards.

Following up on this post (https://community.alteryx.com/t5/Alteryx-Server-Discussions/Server-logs-do-not-include-download-tool... ), inclusion of the activity of the download tool in the Server logs would be very useful in monitoring this high-risk capability within an enterprise tech environment.
