Need to Know 

 

Here’s a list of all the great updates to Community this month: 

 

  • Alteryx Designer Core Stackable Micro-Credentials were launched! These bite-sized certifications allow you to build your knowledge by focusing on one section at a time. 
  • The Onboarding page got a refresh – you'll notice Onboarding paths that provide need-to-know information whilst tracking your progress on a given path. 
  • Speaking of learning, we’ve incorporated Designer Cloud, Trifacta Classic Interactive Lessons. 
  • Community emails are stepping up their game with shiny new headers and footers. 
  • The Favorite feature (star icon below a post) that allows you to feature your favorite posts on your profile page now includes a count.  
  • The content that Alteryx community members create is so great that we wanted to make it even easier to share with social sharing icons on the upper and bottom right of a post.  
  • A new Gallery Deprecated label has been added to denote Gallery items that are no longer supported by Alteryx.  
  • To help distinguish Designer resources from Designer Cloud resources, we've renamed the areas of the Community dedicated to Designer to "Designer Desktop."
