Connect 2020.2 Release Notes

The new Admin Menu has been reorganized and simplified. You can now find sections such as Security, Performance, Maintenance, and Export and Import.

You can now use Connect to enable administrators to pre-load all users and groups from their Active Directory (AD) into Alteryx Connect. To load users and groups from the Active Directory, go to Administration > Settings > Single Sign-On, and select the +ADD button. To open the dialog for adding a new AD connection, select Active Directory and fill in all of the mandatory fields. To harvest users from the Active Directory, select the icon next to the created line with the AD connection.

Administrators now have the ability to disable all Connect export tools and options. To disable export, go to Administration > Security > User Settings and select the Disable Export for All Users checkbox. Administrators will still be able to export.

You are now able to load workflows with duplicate names from the AYX Gallery. After you finish loading analytic workflows using the Alteryx Loader in Designer, go back to Connect and select Analytic Workflows to see even workflows with duplicate names.

Connect now supports loading metadata from Google BigQuery. You now have increased speed of loading, especially on larger datasets. The new BigQuery Loader can be executed and tested for the previous release of Connect (2020.1). Use the loader package for your existing Connect instance.

With Connect 20.2, you can now switch to custom PostgreSQL. For more information, see How to Deploy Alteryx Connect on PostgreSQL Database. By default, Connect is using the embedded H2 database.

Administrators are now able to specify a subject prefix for all emails sent from Connect. You can set your email rules based on such prefix.

When creating a folder, you can now select whether to show all children assets recursively from all subfolders (default), or only the direct children of the given folder. To refine your selection, use the Show only direct children switch.
