Internal/Outdoor Tools

They are used to access data from places like your desktop, website, cloud,take etc.

Data Input Tool

In most cases, this will be where your workflow starts. I like to think of you as the door you will open to allow your data to enter Alteryx.  Data can be in various formats like xls, csv, jason, xml, tab and many more.
