Hard to believe another month has flown by in 2017 – and such a momentous one for the Alteryx Community. As a collective group we solved a total of 161 questions, received 1,534 Stars, and published a whopping 2,172 posts!

 

As we look back at our discussions and solutions in March, let’s give a special thanks to the folks who’ve demonstrated a true commitment to helping the community thrive.

In February's Top Contributors blog, we introduced the wildcard category which is designed to acknowledge a different sort of top contributor. Every month we randomly select an additional ranking metric and highlight the top three participants.

 

Without further ado...

Why is this important?

Marking a reply as an accepted solution helps our Community identify content that solves users’ problems and makes interesting material more prominent and easy to access. 

With Alteryx, more often than not, there is more than one way to get to a solution...

 

Did you know? 

Users who post the first message in a thread can mark one (or more!) of the replies as an accepted solution.

 

What happens when users mark a reply as an accepted solution?

When a user marks a reply as an accepted solution:

  • A check mark icon appears next to the original post
  • The solution gets circled in bright green so that users scanning a list can easily locate it
  • A Go to Solution link is displayed in the original post to go directly to the solution
  • The post is elevated in search results

As you can see, marking replies as accepted solutions, is a great way to help your fellow community members find the answers they're looking for. Thanks again to @FogoFortitude@Andy_Katona, and @Krish for leading the pack in March!

 

A noteworthy contribution...

 

JIRA.pngLast but not least, I wanted to give a special shout out to @Coxta45 for taking the time to share the awesome Jira connector he built with the rest of the community!  If you haven't had the chance to check it out, you can do so here. Thank you for sharing!

 

 

Be sure to check back each month as we continue to celebrate our top contributors - Great job everyone!
