Prepare a Network Install
A network installation allows Alteryx Designer users to point to a central location instead of a local directory. Users can be online or offline. To prepare a network installation...
- Create or identify 2 folders:
- A temporary folder for extracting the contents of the zip file.
- A shared network folder for users of the dataset.

- Run AlteryxDataInstall.exe and select all datasets you want to install.

Users will navigate to the AlteryxDataInstall.exe located in the shared network folder when they register to use the installed datasets.
