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.

I have a lot of workflows that depend on each other. Currently there's LOTS of hassle to effectively schedule a set of workflows to run subsequent.
Typically we run workflows (eg. product hierarchies) that would need to be completed before the next workflow should start (eg. sales data). We currently have some wonky workarounds that are high maintenance, but I would love to see this as a feature in the Gallery.
Idea: Option to receive an email notification when a schedule gets disabled (could be added in the user settings, see attached picture)
Business Impact: The implementation of this idea would reduce delays that might even have a financial impact because
not receiving any notifications when a schedule was disabled could lead to
I would be glad if you could implement this idea because I think it would be useful for a lot of people!
We have groups asking within our organization for ways to check the status of a running workflow in Gallery. They are wanting to understand which step in the process the workflow has completed for longer-running workflows.
They are looking for an experience similar to when running in Designer where they can see which tools have been completed. At the very least, they would like the log to be reported live and not shown at the end of the run.
Currently, the run feels like a black box where they do not know how close it is to completion or which steps it has made it through.
We have tried to build workarounds like the Email tool, but have been unsuccessful. For example, the Email tool does not send an Email until the workflow completes which defeats the purpose. The closest workaround is writing our own log along the way that can be reported on which is not a clean solution.
Hello, Alteryx users,
My idea is simple but would make things way easier for the analytical app users on the Gallery.
Currently, the order is ascending and we can see all the files from all the applications we have run before.
It would help a million to see the most recent files first and only see the files related to this workflow.
Thank you,
Fernando Vizcaino
I have tried so many python packages to Refresh excel Pivot table automatically through Alteryx and save the refreshed data, most of the packages are working perfectly on designer but none of them are working on server.
If we find out anyway that will refresh pivot tables of Excel through Alteryx then it will be great for us.
I would like to propose a number of small enhancements to the Gallery:
) is confusing to everybody except Americans. Please add support for a 24-hour format. This could be done either by extending the Locale settings or by a separate check box. Please make sure that this time format is used everywhere in the Gallery (last update, last run, schedule, etc.).
Hello all,
Nowadays, chatting, commenting, having a discussion on assets that are published on a server is a very common feature, and a useful one !
Here an example on Tableau :
Collaboration is not a luxury item !

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.
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

Hi All,
The Alteryx API documentation was only available for certain entities(workflow, collection, etc.,) and not available for Schedule entities.
https://help.alteryx.com/developer-help/auditlog-endpoint
I want to see schedule audit information like old value(before change), new value, operation (update, delete, insert).
E.g If you create a schedule in Gallery, information about the schedule like creation date time, frequency, owner, type, last run, next run, etc. will be updated in MongoDB.
If a user edits or modifies a schedule in the gallery, the edit/updated information is only available in MongoDB.

HI All,
In the Gallery Page under My Workspace-->Share With Me we could see the fields like Name, Type, Owner, Shared Source, Uploaded, Manual Runs. Among these we are not able to sort the fields "Type" and "Owner" alphabetically, whereas we are able to sort the other fields Name, Shared Source, Uploaded, Manual Runs accordingly. Kindly refer the attached snapshot.

HI All,
While creating a schedule to the workflow we could observe that the frequency is basically categorized into four options like Hourly, Daily, Weekly, Monthly. When coming to the "weekly" option why the user can have a choice to select multiple days in a week here? And why not the user who select "Daily" option can have a choice to select their own days according to the requirement?. In Daily frequency we could find only one option "Run only during work Week9Mon-Fri". Whereas in Tableau Schedules we could observe Weekly frequency enables the user to schedule only a single day in a week and in Daily frequency it enables the user to select multiple days in a week which really helps the user to create schedules in an effective way.

Today, when you trigger a job using the Server API, it is considered as a manual run type. In fact there are only 2 type of jobs : "Scheduled" and "Alteryx_Run"
I think "Alteryx_Run" should be segregated into "API_Run" and "Manual_Run". This way in future version we could treat those type of job differently.
We could also have more stats around the type of jobs.
Today, when you share a workflow with someone else through the collection, you cannot see the manual run that the person will do, neither the person will see yours.
This is really annoying as this is not helping collaboration between colleagues.
Since we use an external scheduler and the server api, only the job owner will see the job execution results within the gallery.
Idea here would be to let the sharing of job execution result as an option in the collection.
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
Currently we can create static pages on the gallery from the Admin view using the Pages tab. I haven't been able to add in custom HTML code and would like to have such a page dynamically updated from the output of an Alteryx workflow Render tool (or similar). Ideally it would allow as much functionality as possible so that arbitrary HTML features could be implemented. Partly suggested by a prior idea: https://community.alteryx.com/t5/Alteryx-Server-Ideas/Embed-webpages-in-Gallery-Pages/idi-p/8963
The page title never changes from Gallery when navigating through it. This is quite frustrating if you are trying to go back to a specific page or searching for something on the browse history.
I might be missing something here but as far as I know there is no feature (user or admin) providing a list of data connections being used by a specific workflow. And conversely, which workflows use a given data connection. This should work for both 'Standard' Data Connections as well as the DCM.
Currently, the API V3 endpoints does not have anything for Data Connection Manager (DCM). Create an endpoint to allow users to add/delete/update and list data sources, credentials, and users of DCM data sources. Also include an "admin" endpoint that can list all of the above for the entire server.
The admin screen of Alteryx gallery does not have an admin function for DCM sources, its users, and credentials. This can cause visibility issues during audits of the gallery. An API endpoint can alleviate this issue until it is added to the UI.
When scheduling an analytical app on Gallery, there is no UI for submitting app values. This significantly limits the value of scheduling workflows and using analytical apps. With this feature, it would allow our users to have more flexible scheduling while also simply maintaining one workflow. Because this feature doesn't exist, we have had to build workarounds by either creating multiple workflows or utilizing APIs.
Since this feature is already available for manual runs and APIS (shown below), it shouldn't be a reach to also have this feature when scheduling a run.
Manual Method:
API Method: GET /workflows/{appId}/questions
Scheduling Method (no app questions):
