ESRI now supports writing to .gdb files.
Oracle and SAP HANA Stored Procedures can be accessed via Pre SQL and Post SQL statements.
Apache Spark now supports writing to Microsoft Azure HDInsight.
The new Interactive Chart tool lets you create popular chart types to visualize data in your workflow. The chart generated by the tool can be added to a report using the Visual Layout tool, output as different file types using the Render tool, or published to a dashboard using the Insight tool. The Interactive Chart tool replaces the existing Charting tool, which has been deprecated. Workflows that use the Charting tool will still be able to function, but Alteryx recommends updating workflows to use the new Interactive Chart tool.
The new Insight tool lets you create interactive dashboards to use to gain deeper insights into your data. You can create and arrange multiple charts and text elements on the dashboard, create filters for viewing specific data, and create drilldowns to let you change the detail level of data displayed. When you use the filters and drilldowns to view data, all related charts in the insight dynamically update. The insight can be published to a Gallery for others to view.
The new Python tool with Jupyter Notebook integration is an embedded IDE that allows you to run Python code directly in Alteryx Designer.
The Email tool has improved security by removing automatically detected SMTP.
The Salesforce Input tool was updated. In the Query Builder Output Fields, when you do not select any fields to retrieve from the table, the query now returns no fields instead of all fields.
The C++ SDK is available for general use. You can use the Alteryx C++ SDK to write custom Alteryx plugin tools.
The SimpleString data item can be run in encryptionMode.
Use the Tool Verification Checklist to verify your custom tools meet standards.
There was an overall style update to the widgets and SDK which included the removal of some custom styles to default HTML elements.
Users are now able to activate Alteryx products offline from behind a firewall by using Alteryx License Server. Alteryx License Server is an additional licensing product that can be installed locally by an organization's license administrator and used in addition to or alongside the standard Alteryx licensing system. Since the license keys are activated on the license server itself, users can activate offline and without having to use a license key.
You can use Windows Authentication with Connect assets.
You can set a cache point at any location in a workflow to temporarily store data processed up to that point. Right-click any tool with a single output anchor and select the option to cache and run the workflow. Subsequent runs will start from the cache point instead of rerunning from the beginning of the workflow.
While saving a workflow to Alteryx Server Private Gallery, you can assign the workflow to run on a specific worker, if you have been given worker assignment permission.
We have added several new one-tool examples, including: Blob Convert, Blob Input, Blob Output, JSON Parse, and Throttle (in the Developer tool category) and Interactive Chart (in the Reporting tool category).
You can now access the beta version of Alteryx Designer 2018.3 in Spanish and Brazilian Portuguese. Coming soon: The online Alteryx Designer Help will also be available in Spanish and Brazilian Portuguese by pressing F1 or clicking the Help link in Alteryx Designer.
The tool configuration windows for the Sample tool and the Text to Column tool have been enhanced.
The Salesforce, Marketo, and Google Analytics tools are now being deployed via the Gallery. This change will not affect any previously built workflows that utilize these tools.
