Which Alteryx file type is associated with the extension .yxft?

The file extension .yxft corresponds specifically to Alteryx Field Types. This file type is used in Alteryx to define the metadata associated with field data types, allowing for the storage and reuse of field type definitions across different workflows or applications. By supporting various data types in a consistent way, .yxft files enhance the ability to share and utilize data efficiently within Alteryx.

This file format is particularly useful when managing databases or working with large datasets, as it provides a standard way to define how each field should be interpreted, which is essential for accurate data processing and analysis.

Other options refer to different file types used within Alteryx: Analytic Apps are saved with the .yxzp extension, Macros are saved as .yxmc, and Workflows use the .yxmd extension for individual workflow files. Each of these file types serves a distinct purpose within the Alteryx ecosystem, further illustrating the specialized nature of the .yxft file in relation to field types.
