When enabled, members can generate outputs in Avro format.

CSV output format

When enabled, members can generate outputs in CSV format.

Collaborative suggestions

If desired, you can enable the inclusion of suggestion cards that are generated from recent use of the Designer Cloud application. As the application gathers more information about how you or members of your workspace apply transformations to your data, the suggestions become more meaningful for the data that you are processing.

NOTE: No data is shared with Alteryx Inc or any system outside of the Designer Cloud Powered by Trifacta platform.

These collaborative suggestion cards can be generated from individual usage or from workspace level usage. These suggestions appear under the Recently Used heading in the side panel.

NOTE: This feature requires the machine learning service, which is enabled by default. For more information, see Miscellaneous Configuration.

When this feature is enabled, individual users can still choose to opt-out of sharing their usage data with this feature. See User Profile Page.

OptionDescription
disabledCollaborative suggestions are not surfaced in the application.
personalCollaborative suggestions are based on the individual user's previous transformations.
workspaceCollaborative suggestions are based on the transformations from all users in the workspace.
DefaultThe default setting for the workspace is applied.

For more information, see Overview of Predictive Transformation.

Column from examples

When enabled, users can access a tool through the column menus that enables creation of new columns based on example mappings from the selected column. For more information, see Overview of TBE.

Combine Spark Transform and Profile jobs into one.

When enabled, the transform and profiling tasks of a job executed on the Spark running environment are combined. The profiling task is executed as a part of the transform task, which eliminates any time spent orchestrating the profiling task and accessing the profiler input file on storage.

NOTE: When these two tasks are combined, publishing actions are not undertaken if the profiling task fails.

For more information on these actions, see Configure for Spark.

In the Job Details page, combined jobs appear in a Transform with profile card. See Job Details Page.

For more information, see Locale Settings.

Logical and physical optimization of jobs

When enabled, the Designer Cloud application attempts to optimize job execution through logical optimizations of your recipe and physical optimizations of your recipes interactions with data.

NOTE: This feature requires the optimizer service, which is enabled by default, and the optimizer service database, which is installed by default. For more information on installing the database, see Install Databases.

This workspace setting can be overridden for individual flows. For more information, see Manage Flow Advanced Settings Dialog.

Session duration

Specify the length of time in minutes before a session expires. Default is 10080 (one week).

Session Tags: Enable the use of session tags when assuming an IAM role

If you are using IAM roles to request temporary credentials for access to AWS resources, you can enable the use of session tags to make those requests. When a session tag is submitted, the Alteryx user is provided access to AWS resources based on the user's corresponding permissions within AWS, instead of having to specify those permissions in Designer Cloud Enterprise Edition. This method leverages the existing permission infrastructure in your enterprise and simplifies the use of IAM roles in the Designer Cloud application.

NOTE: After enabling the use of session tags, you must spin up a new EMR cluster, which forces EMR to use the newly deployed credential provider JAR file.

NOTE: Additional configuration is required. For more information, see Configure AWS Per-User Auth for Temporary Credentials.

Session Tags: The name of the session tag that holds the username as its value

When Session Tags: Enable the use of session tags when assuming an IAM role is enabled, you must specify the name of the session tag to be submitted to AWS containing the username of the Alteryx user requesting resources. Default value is trifacta-user.

For more information, see Configure AWS Per-User Auth for Temporary Credentials.

Show file location

When enabled, workspace users can see the locations of source and output files within the application. 

Spark Whitelist Properties
