Alteryx Community Ideas

Can we have a quote reply button for posts? This is a feature request for the entire Alteryx Community platform.

Why? 

When replying to an existing post in the middle of a conversation, the reply still goes to the end of the topic.

Can we have the reply include a link to the initial post so that the context of the reply is not lost? Not all replies relate to the parent post of the topic but can relate to a later comment in the middle of the topic.

 

I find it especially relevant to weekly challenges discussions when talking about other people's solutions. As a standalone post, it does not make sense when it has no relation to the parent solution. E.g. 

 

 

Either a quote reply button or threaded conversation feature will improve the flow of conversation in the community.

Can we have a guide on how to utilize community macros? Under My Settings>Macros there are a lot of slots for different macros, but no explanation of what they are, how to use them, or even when they should (and should not) be used.

Hi,

 

Are there any plans to add a change of username option to the Profile settings area of the page, where you can currently change other information such as your Avatar etc? I can't think of a site where I have to contact admin to change my username or email address, so it seems like a worthwhile feature!

 

Linked to this, I couldn't see an appropriate place in the Ideas section under which to post. Is there an "Ideas" section for the Community which could cover suggestions like these? 

 

Thanks

Is it possible for the video training index and weekly challenge index to be embedded as an interactive table that can be sorted and filtered to each community user's individual preference especially for videos. The alphabetical sorting of the videos is not user-friendly when you just want to see the Spatial analytics videos sorted by date order or Alteryx version. Some training sessions were repeated and I want to easily pick the latest training for the particular topic (e.g. Parsing Dates and Times). I may want to group the videos by a particular topic or difficulty level especially when preparing for certification exams. Alphabetical order is not the best order for someone using it to preparing for exams.

 

We have a lot of weekly challenges and being able to search, sort and filter will make it more user-friendly when using for exam preparation. I would like to be able to group the challenges by topic and sort by level of difficulty so that I can easily work my way in progressive level of difficulty from top to bottom within a particular topic. Outside exam preparation, chronological order from newest to oldest works better as we now have a large number of weekly challenges accumulated and not having to scroll down to get to the latest challenge would be most welcome.

We currently have ideas boards for Designer; promote; Connect and server; along with this Community ideas board.

 

 

 

Could we please add an ideas board for the SDK; which would be the place to log ideas for:

- SDK for formulae (I'm looking at you @jdunkerley79 ) 

- SDK for using the API in various APIs across the product stack

- SDK for building custom plugins (HTML; C++; Python)

 

That would also align well with the fact that there's already a discussion board for the SDK

It would be a large convenience for Alteryx to offer one sign-in with Microsoft Azure? (i.e. if someone is logged into the EY network and navigated to Alteryx.com they would automatically be signed in). This would be particularly useful for strategic partners of Alteryx as they could better track who is certified and who has taken which Alteryx Academy trainings as all users would map to the work email.

While taking the certification exam, as well as when doing quizzes after tutorials, I have noticed that I cannot see that the radio button is selected.
I am color blind, so I am not sure if this is due to the color used or if the button indicator isn't dark enough.

If someone could please address this, it would help out a lot!

 

Thank you,

Jason R.S.

 

When I click My Profile, I can see posts I've starred.  But every time I want to see my bookmarks, I have to think about how to get to the list of my bookmarks.

 

The current navigation of My Settings > Subscriptions & Notifications > My Bookmarks

is not very intuitive.

 

Would it be possible to add my list of bookmarks under My Profile, or at least put Starred Posts and My Bookmarks together somewhere?

Hi all,

 

I love the (somewhat) new look of the community.  It's much more helpful to find what you're looking for through search and the menu buttons on the left.  One small enhancement I would request is a better fitting of the menu icons along the left side of the page.  It might be my smaller screen size (Lenova Yoga 920) but not all of the menu items fit to my screen.  So I have to use the mouse wheel to scroll to see all of the buttons (the Alteryx Resources button!).  And the situation gets worse when you hover over the menu to scroll as it adds a box displaying the URL of the page (see screenshot below), which further hides the Alteryx Resources menu item (I actually didn't even realize it existed for a few months).  Also, once I do scroll to the bottom to see the Alteryx Resources menu, the submenu suffers from the same cutoff problem as well (second screenshot attached).

 

If this is an easy fix, it would be much appreciated!

This mainly comes as an idea due to the Weekly Challenge threads which get an overwhelming number of replies compared to other threads. 

Can't find inspire 2016 and 2017 videos web pages on Alteryx web site are they removed?

Why is there no Label in the Community specific to "Reporting"?

I love the Weekly Challenges.   Unfortunately, my corporate security has deemed them insecure.   I cannot any longer download the starter or the challenges.   Could we also have the starter in a word or text description so that we can recreate it on my side.   I can still download documents... I think!  

(Dogbert Principle of Security:   "Ideally, perfect security is only achieved when there is no possibility of achieving meaningful work .") 

The link on this page for Educators does not work. Please fix it.

Is it the same for you that I see an awkward menu and half logo on Alteryx web site?

Not looking professional maybe?

 

Alteryx Team, When someone attempts for certification exams, results should be sent to registered email ID immediately after completion of exam. Currently the PDF's are not sent automatically and candidate needs to follow up for the same. In case of Pass - A PDF copy of certificate can be sent. In case of failed - Along with the result, areas of improvements can be shared where the candidate need to put more effort when appearing for next time. How many attempts are remaining for current month? This feature will be a useful feature for the candidates appearing for certifications.

Not sure it happens in every browser but here is how it looks on me;

 

 

 

Would love to have more flexibility to filter and/or sort the community discussions. It would be great to filter to just unsolved questions or unanswered questions etc...

downloads.alteryx.com works well  --> but download.alteryx.com returns an error...

drivers.alteryx.com works --> but driver.alteryx.com

gallery.alteryx.com is ok, sometimes crashed when demoing to clients though ;) -->galleries.alteryx.com nada...

forums.alteryx.com --> forum.alteryx.com doesn't respond

 

I would also add;

designer.alteryx.com

server.alteryx.com

partners.alteryx.com

customers.alteryx.com for easier access...
