How to Create a Container in Alteryx

Use this interactive demo to learn how to create a container in Alteryx.

‍

It is very easy to create a container in Alteryx. Here’s a short guide on how to do it in simple steps:

  1. On Alteryx's main dashboard, find and open the workflow you want to edit.
  2. After that, go to the menu bar in the canvas and click 'New Container'.
  3. Finally, a new container will be created and added to your workflow. You can now edit its style and add tools inside.

📌 Why this matters

Containers transform chaotic workflows into organized, manageable segments that you can collapse, annotate, and move as single units. Beyond simple organization, containers become powerful when you start building reusable workflow components or need to troubleshoot complex data processes. You can disable entire sections with one click, apply consistent styling across tool groups, and create modular building blocks that speed up future projects. When workflows grow beyond a dozen tools, containers prevent the visual overwhelm that leads to errors and wasted time hunting for specific logic.
