  Designer by Alteryx

  New Features: Designer

  Alteryx launches GenAI Tools in Public Preview, enabling AI-powered workflows and secure LLM integration. The release also adds AMP engine optimizations, new Data Cleanse Pro, Pre/Post SQL support, expanded connectors, and workflow enhancements to speed up large analytics projects.

  GenAI Tools Public Preview

  We're thrilled to announce that our new GenAI Tools are now in Public Preview! Learn how to join the Public Preview and get started with AI-powered workflows! GenAI tools offer secure integration of Large Language Models (LLMs) directly in your analytic workflows. Use GenAI tools to solve your unique business problems. GenAI-assisted tools are also available, which support smart data prep to help with your complex data and analytics needs.

  Alteryx One Platform and Designer Trial

  Alteryx introduces a new Alteryx One and Designer trial. We no longer support trials of Designer version 2024.2 and earlier. Go to Alteryx Trial to register for the latest Alteryx experience.

  Partial Workflow Execution

  We've added a new option that lets you partially execute your workflow up until a specific tool. Simply right-click a tool on your workflow canvas and choose Run Until Selected Tool. The workflow runs immediately, and any tools after the selected tool are displayed as inactive in the workflow. This option helps you develop, test, and modify specific sections of your workflow without the need to execute the entire workflow. It saves time and simplifies the workflow development process, especially when working with large workflows. For details, go to Build Workflows .
  Tip
  Partial workflow execution is available via the AMP engine only.

  Pre/Post SQL Support for In-Database Tools

  We've added functionality to the Write Data In-DB , Data Stream In (Pre SQL only), and Data Stream Out tools to support Pre and Post SQL statements. You can now use this with any Output Mode via the Write In-DB tool and Data Stream In tools.

  New Data Cleanse Pro Tool

  We’ve created a new Data Cleanse tool that is natively supported by AMP engine. Data Cleanse Pro improves performance and provides new functionality (for example, the ability to strip HTML and XML tags). For details, go to Data Cleanse Pro tool .
  Important
  Please note that the existing Data Cleansing macro is still available. Data Cleanse Pro is available via the AMP engine only.

  Updated Expression Editor

  The Generate Rows tool now uses the same new expression editor as the Formula and Filter tools. The new expression editor has a more modern UI, syntax highlighting, and predictive text.

  New Formula Functions

  We've added new formula functions :

  • DateTimeWeekNum: This function returns the numeric value (1-54) for the week of the year in which a date falls, where the week that contains January 1 is the first week of the year (similar to Excel's WeekNum function). Use the optional numeric parameter (StartOfWeek) to indicate the starting day of the week. For example, 1 = Sunday, 2 = Monday, and so on.
  • DateTimeWorkDays: This function returns the number of whole working days between two dates, assuming a 5-day work week that starts on Monday. Use the optional parameter (StartofWeek) to indicate the day the business week starts. where 1 = Sunday, 2 = Monday,..., 7 = Saturday. This function counts holidays as work days.
    You can find these anywhere functions are available.

  Summarize Tool Concatenate Distinct Functionality

  We've added Concatenate Distinct functionality to the Summarize tool options. You can now consolidate your data by concatenating it into one row without duplicates, without resorting to multiple-tool workarounds. This option is available only via the AMP engine.

  Cross Tab Tool Count Distinct Functionality

  We've added Count Distinct aggregation methods to the Cross Tab tool . You can now calculate Count Distinct or Count Distinct Non Null values within a group of data quickly, without the need to resort to multiple-tool workarounds.

  Suppress Blank Files in Output Data Tool for CSV and YXDB Files

  In the 24.2 release, we added a new setting in the Output Data tool options that lets you suppress the output of data if the Output Data tool doesn't receive any records (XLSX and XLSM file types). This option is now available for CSV and YXDB files as well. Go to File Format Options for details.

  Apply Button in User Settings

  We have added an Apply button in User Settings to let you apply your changes while leaving the dialog window open. This button lets you view and adjust changes you've made without closing the User Settings dialog window. This is especially valuable for settings that have a visual change, such as themes and languages.

  Designer Alerts and System Dialog UI Updates

  We’ve updated additional Designer alerts and system dialog messages to use a modern interface that improves user experience and provides consistency with other Alteryx products.

  Set Default Time Zone for Workflow

  We’ve added a workflow configuration runtime setting to let you set a default time zone for executing your workflow. You can use your machine’s local time or customize the time zone. This setting affects the Date Time Now tool and DateTime functions that use time zones (DateTimeNow, DateTimeNowPrecise, DateTimeStart, DateTimeToLocal, DateTimeToUTC, DateTimeParse, and DateTimeFormat).

  Rank Tool Updates

  We've added a One Tool Example for the recently released Rank tool and updated it to address unexpected configuration behavior when no Ranking Type is selected. Additionally, the Use Dictionary Order setting now pulls from your User Settings.

  Make Columns Tool AMP Support

  We've fully converted the Make Columns tool to work with the AMP engine.

  Performance Improvements with AMP Engine

  • Improved CSV Write Performance in AMP
    Writing CSV files using the Output Data tool in AMP is now approximately 15% faster, improving overall workflow performance.
  • Throttling of Tools That Generate Records
    When a tool that can produce lots of packets quickly (like a YXDB reader) feeds a tool that consumes them slowly (like a CSV writer) in a single thread…
    • Previous versions (before 25.1) triggered packet compression and swapping. Starting with 25.1, Designer avoids these operations, when possible.
    • This completes workflows faster and improves overall performance.

  Updates to Save/Open Options between Designer and Alteryx One

  We’ve made several updates and enhancements to the save/open options between Designer and Alteryx One Platform :

  • We’ve added version support for Designer Desktop workflows saved to an Alteryx One workspace. Similar to Server, this functionality lets you open (in Designer) a specific version of a workflow that was previously saved to Alteryx One .
  • You can now open Desktop Analytic Apps saved in an Alteryx One workspace directly in Designer Desktop (via File > Open Workflow ). Additionally, icons differentiate between the Designer Desktop asset types (YXMD and YXWZ).
  • Additionally, connections between Designer and Alteryx One are now alphabetized in the Save and Open menus to improve usability with multiple connections.
  • When you save a workflow to Alteryx One , a new Sync All Desktop Connections checkbox is checked by default to sync all connections that are used in the workflow to Alteryx One . This helps your Cloud Execution workflows run seamlessly and minimizes failures in the execution process.

  Cloud Link Wizard

  The new Cloud Link Wizard streamlines the setup and management of cloud connections in Alteryx One Platform . With a simple, guided workflow, you can easily configure connections by selecting a predefined region or entering a custom cloud instance URL. Connections are authenticated through a secure browser flow and are automatically saved with labels for easy identification and reuse. Go to Cloud Link Wizard for details and configuration information.

  Support Azure Synapse and SQL Server on MS Fabric

  Alteryx Designer now supports Azure Synapse and SQL Server deployments within Microsoft Fabric when data is stored in Delta format on OneLake. With this enhancement, both input and output operations are now fully supported.

  • Support for Microsoft Fabric-based SQL Server and Synapse using OneLake as the storage layer.
  • Full support for Delta format files.
  • DSN-less connections only, via Data Connection Manager (DCM).
  • Authentication options are limited to...
    • Azure Active Directory
    • Azure Active Directory – Private
      Note
      This is distinct from existing support for standalone Azure SQL Server and Synapse, which offer broader authentication options.

  Qlik Cloud Data Source

  Qlik Cloud is now a supported data source in Alteryx. This update enables seamless integration with Qlik Cloud, allowing users to connect, browse Spaces and collections, and retrieve files directly within the Output tool. For more information, go to Qlik Cloud .

  Starburst Data Source

  Alteryx users can now leverage the Starburst Data Source Connector to seamlessly access and interact with data across multiple sources through the Starburst data virtualization platform. This integration offers a secure, unified connectivity experience, allowing you to read and write data to all your underlying sources using a single connector. For more information, go to Starburst .

  Generic Support for Service Account Authentication

  Alteryx Designer now supports service account authentication for ODBC data sources using the OAuth client credential flow. This feature enables secure, token-based authentication, allowing you to connect to databases without using individual credentials. Supported technologies include MS SQL Server, Snowflake, Google BigQuery, Databricks, Azure Synapse Analytics, and more. With this update, you can streamline authentication, enhance security, and simplify access management across multiple data sources. For more information, go to Generic Service Account Authentication .

  NTLM Authentication Support for Download Tool

  The Download tool now supports NTLM authentication .

  End of Support for File Formats

  We will gradually end support for several file formats. We have added warning messages in Designer to alert you of the upcoming changes and encourage you to migrate to a suitable alternative file format. Additionally, we removed Read and Write support for these files in new workflows. This involves removing these options from the Single Access Point menu. You can still enter the file format via file browse or enter it in a path.
  These file types will be phased out:

  • MID/MIF: Mapinfo Professional Table (TAB) might be a suitable replacement.
  • GEO: ESRI GeoDatabase (GDB) might be a suitable replacement.
  • SZ: Alteryx Database (YXDB) might be a suitable replacement.
  • MDB: Microsoft Access (ACCDB) might be a suitable replacement.
    For details, go to Deprecation of MDB, SZ, MID/MIF, GEO Connectors .

  Proxy Authentication Updates

  The new proxy options are supported for all web API calls made by Designer (with the exception of any calls made to Alteryx Server). Additionally, Designer components that use Chromium Embedded Framework (CEF) support the new proxy options. This includes Global Search and the Start Here window.
  Public Preview
  Please note that these proxy enhancements are in Public Preview during the 2025.1 release. You can continue to use the previous proxy configuration or explore these new options. For additional important information, go to Proxy Settings .

  Wildcard Support in Peer Validation Allow List

  You can now configure PeerValidationBypass.txt with Fully Qualified Domain Names (FQDN) that contain one or more instances of the wildcard * (asterisk) and the '?' (question mark) character. For details, go to Peer Validation Allow List .

  Sensitivity Labels

  You can now apply a Sensitivity Label ID and ID of the Purview Tenant via the Output Data tool ( output to Excel file ) or the Email tool (applies to the email message). The Label ID and Tenant ID can be obtained from your IT team/Azure Admin. Labels that require encryption are not supported.

  Dark Mode Updates

  The Alteryx Marketplace feature is now Dark Mode compatible. Additionally, tool configuration windows for the In/Out, Preparation, Parse, Join, and Transform tool categories are now Dark Mode compatible. We will continue to update the remaining tool configuration windows to be Dark Mode compatible in future releases.

  Python Version Upgrade

  We have upgraded the embedded Python version to 3.10.15 .

  Tools Removed from Designer Installation

  These tools are no longer automatically installed with Designer.

  • Insights (deprecated tool, the associated One Tool Example has also been removed)
  • Marketo Append, Input, and Output: These tools are no longer automatically installed with Designer but are still available for download via Alteryx Marketplace.
  • Salesforce Input and Output Macros (deprecated): Alternatives (supported connectors) are available via Alteryx Marketplace.
  • Twitter Search (deprecated)

  Server by Alteryx

  Server 2025.1

  Alteryx Server 2025.1 rolls out admin governance with config-change logs, an Admin Workflow Results view, a new non-admin Credentials page, and invited credentials management. API boosts include canceling jobs, server credentials endpoints, cron-based schedules, and SAML assertion encryption.

  What's New in Server

  Version: 2025.1.1.27
  Release Date: May 13, 2025

  Go to the complete Server 2025.1 Release Notes.

  New Features

  Auditing Configuration Changes in System Settings

  To enhance visibility and ensure proper governance of the Server software, we now log configuration changes made by admins with access to the Alteryx Server's host machines. When an admin updates System Settings and confirms the changes by selecting the final Confirm button, the details are recorded in a flat log file. This log is stored on the same machine as the Runtime Settings file at C:\ProgramData\Alteryx. Access to this log file is restricted to Windows accounts with administrative permissions.

  Workflow Results View for Admins

  We've added a new Admin Workflow Results and Job messages view. This enables Admins to see a list of workflow results and expand individual job records. You can see detailed job messages for workflows with statuses such as Running, Queued, Completed, Failed, Errored, Cancelled, or Warning. For more information, go to Workflow Results: Admin Interface.

  New Credentials Page for Non-Admin Users

  Non-admin users now have access to a Credentials page in the Server UI. This page allows you to view, create, edit, and delete custom credentials. You can also set credentials for running and scheduling workflows in Workflows.
  The Credentials page includes 3 tabs:

  • All – Displays all credentials available to you.
  • My Credentials – Shows credentials you have created via My Profile or Credentials, as well as those created through the Workflows or Schedules page.
    If custom credentials used in My Profile are already saved by an admin or another non-admin user, they won’t appear on your My Credentials page, but you will still be able to use them. These credentials are visible under the Default Credentials section.
  • Shared With Me – Lists credentials shared with you by Server admins.
    You can sort and filter credentials for easier management.
    In Workflows, you can select credentials to Run and Schedule a workflow. You can enter new credentials, use previously entered ones, or select credentials shared with you.
    When associating credentials with a workflow from Designer, you can manage those credentials from the newly introduced Credentials tab in Server. These credentials will also be available in the dropdown for future use—both in Designer and in Server.
    For shared credentials or service accounts, the correct approach is to manage them through the Admin Credentials page. An admin should either create the credentials or invite a user to create them, and then share them with others via the Admin Credentials page. If shared credentials are used directly by multiple users without being shared by an admin, the credentials will be associated with the first user. All other users will not see these credentials in their My Credentials tab.
    For more details, refer to Credentials: Server User Interface.

  Inviting Users to Manage Credentials for Admins

  With the new Credentials page available to non-admin users, admins can now invite users to create or edit credentials when a password update is required. Users receive notifications for admin invitations, shared credentials, and invalid credentials. This enhancement helps reduce security risks. For more information, see Invite to Create or Edit a Credential.

  Server API

  New Endpoint to Cancel a Specific Job

  We've added the DELETE /v3/jobs/{jobId} endpoint, allowing users to cancel any running or queued job—whether manual or scheduled—on Alteryx Server.

  • Curators can cancel any job.
  • Other roles can cancel jobs they have created, triggered, or scheduled. It includes jobs shared with them through Collections, even if they are not the job owner.
    For more details, go to Job Endpoints.

  New API Endpoints for Server Credentials

  We've added two API credential endpoints for Server credentials (non-DCM):

  • Create Server credentials: POST /v3/credentials
  • Update password for existing Server credentials: PUT /v3/credentials/{credentialId}
    These endpoints are available only to Curators and require TLS to be enabled. For more information, refer to the Credential Endpoints help page.

  Cron Expression Support for Schedule Endpoints

  We've added a dynamic scheduling flexibility by using Cron entries to align with the experience provided to cloud users and for a consistent experience across the various products in our platform.
  You can now use Cron expressions in the following API endpoints:

  • POST /v3/schedules
  • PUT /v3/schedules/{scheduleId}
  • PATCH /v3/schedules/{scheduleId}
  • GET /v3/schedules/{scheduleId}

  Limitations of Cron Expression Support

  While this release introduces enhanced scheduling flexibility using Cron expressions, there are some current limitations to be aware of:

  1. No support for combining range (-) and step (/) characters within the same expression.
     Invalid expression: 0 23 * 1-11/2 * *
     Valid expression : 0 23 * 2,4,6,8,10 * *
  2. Five-Field Cron format only.
     This implementation supports only the five-field Cron format:
     minute hour day-of-month month day-of-week
  3. Step values are not supported in the day-of-week (last) field.
     Invalid expression: 0 * * * */tue
     Valid expression: 0 * * * TUE
     For more details, visit the Schedule Endpoints help page.

  Server Usage Endpoints

  Important
  These new endpoints apply only to customers on the new Edition based pricing, launched in May 2025 for eligible customers.

  • Online customers: Usage data is automatically collected and sent to Alteryx One Platform at regular intervals. Admins can review this data directly in Alteryx One.
  • Offline customers: Offline customers must use Alteryx One for licensing and billing. The usage data report will not be automatically sent to Alteryx One. However, you can manually extract and upload the report via the API endpoints available on Server and Alteryx One.
    For detailed steps on extracting and loading usage data to Server, please refer to Server Usage Endpoints.

  Added SAML Assertion Encryption Support

  To enhance security, we now support SAML assertion encryption, allowing you to both encrypt and sign assertions. This feature is available in both FIPS and non-FIPS environments.
  For configuration details, see the Configure Alteryx Server Authentication help page.
