A new idea to suggest a new community feature or improvement
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!

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...

This mainly comes as an idea due to the Weekly Challenge threads which get an overwhelming number of replies compared to other threads.
TWIMC,
Our team loves the weekly exercises and value the lessons learned-- or should I say earned-- from them each week. However, finding them is a little, well, weird especially when I am trying to explain how to find them to colleagues: "Well, so, you go to search, type weekly and then select results from the last week and then each of the previous weeks exercises will be held in that most recent workbook. " What I would love to see is these in their own space within the community so one would not have to search for them each week. Bonus points if we were able to DL all workbooks as a single zip that we could have for new-hire training material!
Cheers,
John
Every time I search to see if someone has already made a suggestion for our community, the search returns results from everywhere, and I have to start ticking checkboxes to limit the search. But, even when I do that there's no specific area on the search page for community ideas.
To minimize duplicate suggestions, it could be great if we could more easily search for ideas previously submitted.
It would be great if there were a way to see the all the product ideas I've starred. Right now, if I want to review those ideas I'm going to need to scroll through all of them looking for gold stars. Perhaps some kind of activity log in the user profile could provide us with this information?
When I surf around the community, a quick survey pops up
It does so simultaneously in multiple open pages and even though you complete one the others start popping again...
And I receive the survey nearly everytime I log on... It gets a little annoying...

It may be nice to be able have quicker access to social media for shareing questions, solutions, challenges...
On facebook, twitter with shortcut links to community, instagram with workflow and tool pictures etc...
By the way;

I'd like to have the "Mark All as Read" option in the Knowledge Base like it is in other sections. Not that I could ever read them all, but this is my system for identifying new posts.
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?
Few ideas for boosting the expression editor:
1) When writing expressions it can be hard to trace the matching brackets. Can we add some corresponding bracket colours to address this.
2) When I want to wrap an expression in brackets ([{or other symbols!}]) I have to manually add a bracket to the beginning and end of the expression. In Jupyter Notebooks (and many other softwares or IDEs), you can highlight a string, add a single bracket to it and it'll wrap the entire highlighted string with an opening and closing bracket.
3) Multi-line cursor. This is a real gem of a feature if possible.
I will add a GIF that demonstrates all three together in action:
All the best,
BS
Vanilla Alteryx Chained Apps can only progress linearly, which means developers could not let users skip few applications ( or ) reach the last app in the chain ( or ) let the user select which specific app to trigger based on the requirement.
This can be bypassed by using a render tool with output as PCXML and HTML link of the Application you can trying to divert to, which does not affect the existing workflow in any way.
By using the below set of tools on any workflow/chained app you can either branch the flow of apps ( or ) you can skip a few apps in the chain.
Image 1 - Input Configuration with the flow that can be part of any existing application
Image 2 - Text Tool Configuration
Image 3 - Render tool Configuration
POC in action
Now If clicked on App 1, it would divert me to www.Alteryx.com

Hello Maveryx Community,
Wouldn't it be nice to be able to save your open source projects directly to the community page, as you would when saving a workflow to a gallery? This way we could upload and download our workflows from the community page, and treat it as a repository/portfolio page with Alteryx specific projects. It could be even tailored so that you can preview it, in a form of a html page without download, to see how the workflow looks, without having to download it. Option to mark projects as private or public would be nice too, to filter out who can and who can't see the given project. What do you think about this idea, not needed, or a cool addition?
Best Regards,
Szymon Czuszek
Hello all,
Sadly our community is against attack by spammers. This causes damages to all, since it pollutes the forum. Maybe having a team of volunteer to clean that mess could be helpful?

Hello all,
I don't think AACP acronym is obvious for everyone... maybe calling the idea section to it "AACP (Cloud)" would help ?
Best regards,
