Alteryx Community Ideas

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...

A list of subdomainz

Subdomain IP address

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?

The knowledge base site is a great resource for finding help, but it lacks the ability to favorite or bookmark articles for easy access in the future, similar to how community blogs/posts can be saved.

That is all. 🙂

From my perspective, the Text Input tool would benefit from some adjustments.

Allow set the column data type in the tool

Currently, Alteryx tries to identify the data type of a column based on the input. But is "1" a bool, integer, or a string? Of which type is an empty field? Quite often, Alteryx does not select the intended data type. 

Example:

Idea: Allow to define the data type in the Text Input tool:

Improve input window for long content

Currently inputting long text to Text Input cells is nearly impossible. Extending the window size is also limited. Please allow horizontal scrolling within a cell and/or line breaks within cells.

Given the security and privacy concerns, we'd like to disallow users from making any workflows "public". I suppose that this should be a global setting that can be tuned on/off to allow/disallow Public workflows in the gallery.

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?

Best regards,

Simon
