Alteryx Community Ideas

I suggest adding a possibility for users to link their social media profiles within the Alteryx profile. I think this would allow for users to connect in case for instance of an interesting industry discussion within the community and would also allow for further promotion, as our social media networks could then be extended to new people - Alteryx users.

 

I am aware that a similar idea has been posted already, however as I understand it has been disregarded as it suggested adding multiple information regarding the user and the possible surfeit of information caused by it. I only suggest adding the LinkedIN profile, as I truly believe it would benefit the users to connect also on other platforms. This could also result in further Alteryx promotion within certain industries.

I am attempting to re-take the Alteryx Designer Core Exam again this morning - yes I attempted last Saturday as I am very determined to achieve Certification!  Could we please have the Time Zone added to the notification?  Hopefully the image I posted below comes thru ok.  I am on ET time and its 10:27am ET 04-18-2020 but the exam time zone must be a different one !

 

Thanking you !!  I will wait until my Exam becomes available for me again !

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

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. 

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

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.

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...

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...

Best
