Recommended Tools
Alteryx Designer contains over 270 tools! With that many tools, it can be overwhelming to know which tool might be the best option to achieve your desired outcome. Also, you might not know about all of your options. The new *Recommended* tab in the Designer Tool Palette makes these decisions a little easier.
Overview
The Recommended tab is available by default. You can find it in the Designer Tool Palette next to the Favorites tab. If you have not added any tools to your workflow, the Recommended tab suggests a couple of tools that are commonly used to start workflows, for example, Text Input. You can drag and drop one of these tools onto your canvas to start your workflow.
Once you start building your workflow, select a tool on the canvas and Designer will use the selected tool to recommend 6 possible downstream tools that you can add to your workflow. Select another tool on the canvas and the recommendations will update.
Note
Note that recommendations are only available when you select a single tool on your workflow canvas. If you select multiple tools at once, no recommendations are provided.
Remove Recommended Tab
If you're an expert Designer user, you might want to remove the Recommended tab from your tool palette. To remove this tab, right-click the Recommended tab in the Tool Palette and select Unpin Recommended.
