Use Connect Assets

Search for assets that reside in Alteryx Connect to bring the data into Designer.

Sign in to Connect

  1. Click Options > Manage Connect Credentials.
  2. In Connect Sign In, type the URL for the Connect server, and click Next.
  3. Type the Username and Password, and click Sign In. Connect can also be configured to use Windows Authentication. When this option is selected, Designer establishes a connection with Connect based on the user's identity.

    4. Alternatively, select Windows Authentication to use your Windows credentials.

Access assets from Connect

  2. Drag a Connect asset from the Search results onto the canvas. The Connect asset displays on the canvas as a tool with a preconfigured connection string. The Data Source Credentials window opens automatically.
  3. Type the authentication details, which typically include the User Name and Password.
  4. Select Remember me for this tool to save the credentials on the machine.
  5. Click OK.
