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
I have a chained app that is running on the gallery/server. When I run it, I see status changing from Processing to Running, but the window doesn't show a meaningful message as to which app is running. Is it possible to show that in the Browser window which reflects what stage is currently running in the Chained App?
See snapshot of window below.
This would be super useful to monitor the progress of the chained app currently executing on the server.
It would be helpful to be able to customize the color scheme in Alteryx gallery to differentiate between the Production and Sandbox environment. This would be a quick check to ensure you are in the correct environment.
Allow the server administrator the ability to create named, shared, custom calendars, such as:
-- Holiday Calendar
-- Manufacturing Calendar
-- Accounting Calendar
-- Trading Calendar
--etc
The idea is to have a predefined calendar that can be used, by name, with identified working and non-working days.
Hello,
Now it is possible to share a collection which a user who is not granted to access Alteryx server.
We use AD to grant users access to Alteryx Gallery. However, when a user is not in this group, it is still possible to choose him as a person to share.
In my opinion, such user should be indicated as someone who won't be able to use a shared collection, or he should be presented at all.
Best,
Piotr
When building a complicated or resource heavy workflow, it would really useful to be able to have menu option upon right-clicking a tool output to add all the downstream steps to a container. With that one option, a user could then
Hello,
Current Data Connections options are limited to db connections: MSSQL, Oracle and Others.
In my opinion, it should be expanded by at least:
- FTP/SFTP addresses
- URLs to webservices or resources
- Cloud resources like AWS S3
The server should manage resources as much as possible
Best,

I would like to have the ability to configure my company's Gallery to display more than five applications/workflows to a page. This is a waste of screen space and creates unnecessary clicks for browsing.
Gallery Devs -
When I click 'Add Tags' to an application in Gallery, the tag listing comes up chronologically by time time created, as opposed to alphabetically. It looks ridiculous to see this:
Underwear
Shoes
Dresses
Bandannas
Socks
Jewelry
This is the easiest fix ever.
When user execute workflow from library, it is better to show workflow with execution status at each step.
It will help for business to identify the failed tool instead of validating entire workflow.
As you can see from the screen shot below, “Version 10” is my latest version, but I’ve selected “Version 9” to be the published version. When I hit “Run” or when I schedule a run, it is running version 10 instead of version 9. The only way for me to run version 9 is to click on it and select “Run Selected Version” (also in screen shot below).
This doesn’t seem logical to me that the runs are not using the published version. Would love to see this setting changed! :)
Whilst executing long running jobs in Gallery, it would be useful to be able to view the log so I can judge progress.
A suggestion, in our environment, we see workflows getting into Initializing Status often in scheduler (this could be because of the environment we are in)
If workflow in “Initializing” Status > n minutes (where n is configurable)
Then
Kill the workflow, and resubmit
Ref: Case # 00260492
Currently 'Schedules' are a separate category in the navigation bar on the left, and while it is nice to have an overview of all my workflows/apps, most of the time I need that information in the Private Studio screen where I'm checking in on the run status and getting ready to schedule the job again.
Additionally, Designer disables the schedule whenever it saves the workflow/app back to the Server. This is not always the desired intent when we make a small change to the workflow/app. Having an option to disable a current schedule would be better, with the default to keep the current schedule. Also, the abilty to manage the schedule from the Private Studio to say 'Activate' a disabled schedule, or schedule the workflow/app multiple times with different inputs would all be good.
A strange issue is found that the Alteryx Gallery schedule suddenly becomes disabled. After checking with support, it looks like the mechanism underlying is using a concept of queueID. Whenever there is a network issue between controller and worker, the queueID get scratched, the job gets corrupted. This means it cannot calculate the next run and thus, it will disable the schedule. When the worker node gets back, it cannot "try again".
From usage perspective, if network is having issue, it is assumed that the connection gets back, it would "re-try" and resume.
Hope Alteryx team can help consider a fix on this technical issue.
Thanks.
Please provide support for sharing a (gallery/Stored) Workflow Credential with a Group.
Current capability appears only to support Users/Studios.
As part of the Persistence Expiration processes, within Designer we have the ability to set a retention threshold of the results tab. i.e. 30 days.
After enabling this - all completed results are purged but all the "error" results remain. And this depending on the original count can run into the thousands, such as in my environment. Id like to see the "Error" results become part of the clean up processing because of the following reasons:
1. We do not have dedicated admins that have time to manually or by group delete these error result items.
2. Most if not all - errors are resolved immediately. if there were to be kept as a reference, a screen shot of the results are normally taken and filed away.
Support says this is intentional for resolution tracking purposes - but to counter - as I stated in item 2 - most errors are immediately looked at and worked on. So there is no reason to keep errored results. Especially when they are time-stamped dates greater than the expiration values selected.
Currently only 5 workflows are displayed per page in a collection. Currently we have about 30 workflows (soon to be about 100) and paging through workflows to find the one you want to run is time consuming.
It would be great if there was an option on the page so the user could select the number of workflows per page.
If you are viewing schedules, on the Queue Panel, you should have the option to refresh the information to get an idea how far things are progressing. If you swipe back and forth between panels you get updated % done information, so it is definitely available. Not the most pressing need, but a very easy fix.
Ninja Edit: Did not know there was a dedicated server ideas forum so I removed a part.
I am running version x of Alteryx locally and my server is running x-2. If I publish a workflow with error reporting via email, the server is not able to recognize that my workflow has error logging because it automatically kicks a version error. The events portion of the XML should be read regardless of the server version and trigger an error when this happens.
Hi All,
We are preparing to rollout Alteryx Server in a large organisation and can see that the creation of Collections by many analysts may become problematic over time.
It would be good if we can disable the functionality and only allow for gallery admins to create new collections.
Cheers
