Which file extension is associated with an analytic application created in Designer?

The file extension associated with an analytic application created in Alteryx Designer is .yxwz. This file format is specifically designed for analytic applications, which are workflows that allow users to configure inputs dynamically and execute the analysis with varying parameters without needing to rebuild the entire workflow.

When you save an analytic app in Designer, it encapsulates all the necessary components and configurations, enabling users to run the application in a manner similar to using a traditional software application. As part of Alteryx's organizational structure, the .yxwz file extension signifies that the file is an analytic application, differentiating it from other Alteryx file types like .yxmd, which represents standard workflows, or .yxdb, which is used for databases.

This distinction is important as each file type serves a different purpose within the Alteryx ecosystem, allowing users to utilize the right file for their specific data analysis needs.
