Alteryx Server UI Overview

Alteryx Server is a cloud-hosted or self-hosted application for publishing, sharing, and executing workflows. In a Server deployment, you can publish Designer workflows, macros, and apps to a private Server hosted on your company's server infrastructure. Once published, other Server users can run workflows and view the results. The Server UI includes 8 components in the menu: My Workspace, Districts, Insights, Collections, Workflow Results, Schedules, DCM Data Sources, and DCM Credentials.

My Workspace

On the My Workspace page, the available content is divided into 3 tabs:

  • My Files: Only content you own—such as workflows, apps, and macros—is displayed. When you create a workflow in Designer and publish it to Server, the workflow is added to My Files. Workflows under My Files tab are private. You can share your workflows with other users via collections. Go to the Collections help pages to learn more.

  • Shared With Me: Only content shared with you is displayed. Content can be shared if 2 people are members of the same private studio and also through collections. When other users share their content with you, it displays under the Shared With Me tab.

  • Public: Only public content workflows, apps, and macros are displayed. Anyone with the link to the Server UI can access the content published to the homepage. Go to the Server UI Home help page to learn more about managing public content.

On the My Workspace page, the available content is divided into 3 tabs.

You can search for the required workflows and sort them by Name, Uploaded, Made Public and Manual Runs.

DCM Data Sources and DCM Credentials

In the Server UI, Data Connection Manager consists of 2 parts: DCM Data Sources and DCM Credentials.
