Ideas

Hi everyone! I have been trying to find a way to do this without creating a new idea, but I have decided to make it an official 'Idea' to see if there is anyone else that might appreciate a feature like this (or has found there own way to do it!)   Do your workflows look like this...     but you wish they could look like this?     Well... they can with your help!   Okay, I might be crazy...but its worth a shot.   While I understand this is an extremely niche issue, in my experience, it can become very difficult to trace the data through unmanaged lines in large workflows. I think it will be great to cable manage canvas lines so workflows are easier to follow. Heck, while I am already at it, I think it we should all start calling these canvas lines cables... They don't carry electricity, but they sure do carry data!   Here is an example I created in Alteryx using select tools and containers:     ...

Having this information readily available for presentation purposes or for enterprise-wide users of workflows would be beneficial.    If this is already possible, please let me know! ... View more

The Find Nearest tool allows setting a distance in units of miles and kilometers. It would be incredibly convenient to specify units of feet or meters also. I find that in most instances, 1 mile is vastly large for the analysis I am working on and I have to include additional logic to confirm incorrect matching is not occurring. ... View more

Hello,   We use the pre-sql statement of the input to set some parameters of connections. Sadly, we cannot do that in a in-db workflow. This would be a total game-changing feature for us.   Best Regards,   Simon ... View more
