Tools

Drag a tool from the Tool Palette onto the workflow canvas to begin building a workflow. To connect tools, select an output anchor and drag the connector arrow to the next tool's input anchor.

The Favorites category includes the most common tools used in workflow creation. To add a tool to the Favorites category select the star in the top right of the tool icon on the Tool Palette. A yellow star indicates a tool is already added to the Favorites category.

Deprecated Tools

As we implement improvements to Alteryx, some tools become obsolete and are deprecated. Please note that workflows created with these tools in previous versions continue to function.

Alteryx recommends that you update workflows to use applicable new replacement tools as no resources are allocated to support the older tools. Alteryx may remove deprecated tools after 2 major releases.

To show deprecated tools, right-click the tool palette and select Show Deprecated Tools. Deprecated tools display with a "Deprecated" banner.
