I'm completing sections of the Alteryx Academy and see the 100% progress bar, but it would be great to have a link where we can see and download all our completed courses in a transcript form. We could provide it to our leadership as a way for them to measure growth in our skills, or bring it to interviews along with our resumes, etc.
Hi there community team,
We've discussed this before but I wanted to re-raise this for consideration.
The Alteryx Community is super important to the alteryx platform and it is a big part of why people love and buy Alteryx.
The question is how we make this more available and convenient for people to use and be a part of.
Part of the solution seems to be offering the mobile experience - the underlying technology for community.alteryx.com (khoros) does have a mobile app - and it seems that by making community available in more places and in more ways it will allow more folk to contribute.
Is this something that we can consider for this year?
thank you
Sean
The interactive trainings are constantly down, you could put all these on youtube, and then they have the capability to better manage the same. We would watch the short 5-6 min videos on youtube and then do the questionnaire in the alteryx website.
It is very demotivating, that the trainings are down (starts and then freezes or audio is lost). MAybe it would be worth investing a little more into the server capacity or if you cannot afford, lets go to youtube.
Thanks
I write blog posts in the french community and once they are posted I can't edit them. Maybe this is the same for all communities.
It would be useful for the author to be able to edit blog posts after it has been posted.
The same goes for Knowledge base articles.
The 2021 Alteryx INSPIRE conference wrapped up this week. There were lots of inspiring presentations. Along the way I picked up the latest Tips & Tricks document prepared by Stephane Portier. This title has been a regular INSPIRE feature at past conferences and each issue contained a mix of valuable secrets and shortcuts to make the Alteryx experience even better.
This time the title is a little misleading. What Stephane has created is a very complete and organized guide to best practices for developers working with the Alteryx Developer application.
Stephane makes a strong case for developers to take the extra effort and attention needed to create robust, well documented and maintainable workflows that will evolve over time as requirements change and data sources morph.
He has drawn attention to the specific features and approaches that lead to the creation of structured workflows that can be easily understood and audited. He provides guidance on techniques that work to maximize quality deliverables, yet minimize the effort needed to get there. It is a gem.
Everyone wanting to do serious work with Alteryx Designer should keep this document handy.
I have attached a copy and encourage you to read it from end to end.
I encourage the editors of the Community to give this document a prominent position on the site. In addition, to encourage best practices across the community, I can imagine a contest being created where the winners would be those who could best demonstrate following the advice given in this guide.
It's related with the "Discussions".
I noticed that we do not have any section to add TAGS or Labels while replying to a post.
Something could be added like below:
Within Alteryx Interactive Lessons, there are a variety of types of interactive components. When the videos require the learner to type text before moving forward, the text must be correct, or else the video will not continue playing. The learner can click the "next" button (or the video's next main learning objective from the menu, depending on the video type), but this sometimes skips immediately sequential parts of the video.
Most of the time, it's easy to figure out the correct text. However, there are a handful of instances where I could not figure out the correct text, even though I'm familiar with how to use Alteryx interactive lessons after 7+ hours of learning. I couldn't tell how much of the lesson I skipped after clicking "next", and these particular videos (App List Box and App File Browse) didn't have transcripts or a submit button with the text entry activity.
In Alteryx interactive lessons with text entry activities, I would love the option to either:
- click a button to manually override these text entry activities and move on to the very next video segment, or
- click a button to automatically populate the correct answer so the video will continue
This button could have a time delay so that it would only appear after 10 or so seconds of wrong answer, or set to appear after a certain number of attempts.
For example, from the analytic app List Box lesson, here is the text entry activity.
Deleting all of the auto-populated text but "DFW", "JFK" didn't work for me. I tried different variations of it with spacing (the white instruction text has an additional \s between "DFW" and ,) but ultimately ended up clicking the "next" button and skipping the inaccessible portions of the lesson. I realize the information I missed can be found within documentation or experimentation in Alteryx, but I'm sure there are learners who are not as comfortable with these alternatives yet! The manual override button could go right above the "next" button and would help learners who struggle to find the correct answer for a text entry like this.
Thank you for your consideration! I'm so grateful for the time the Alteryx team has spent creating these lessons, and I look forward to watching more in the future!
As of right now, at the end of every interactive lesson and learning path, we have a quiz that is not more than 5 questions. To further solidify the learning, I think it would be a great value add if we can add a challenge (just like the weekly challenges) at the end of every 3 or 4 interactive lessons or learning path. The idea is to solve the challenge using everything we learnt from those lessons.
I was posting a question today about sorting, but didn't see a label for sort, sorting, or a question label. Not sure what the qualifications are for making the label list, but I suggest that "Question" and "Sort" be added.
Hi,
When trying to help someone on the Community, answer may differ depending on installed version.
It could be useful to know display -if agreed- the product(s) and version(s) owned by someone to make interactions more efficient. Example: files for Python tool would not be placed in the same folders depending on the version.
Pros:
- Helps with providing answers adapted to user's context
Cons:
- If user upgrades her/his version then post will lose its context
Thanks,

In user profile, users could add how many hours a week Alteryx has saved them.
Great for marketing!
Similar to the weekly challenge camping badges that are given based on the number of completed by a member , there should be badges given to members who submit ideas for weekly challenges that in turn get accepted ! I know all of us get some sort of kick out of those badges and this will definitely encourage more members to contribute to the weekly challenge 🙂
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.
there should be an option to display a newsfeed that can be customized by the user. Notifications could be color-coded to correspond with its "parent" category (e.g., Discussions, Knowledge, Ideas, Blogs, etc.). The feed should be as flexible/customizable as possible (e.g., mute discussion, reply flag, pinning, etc.). It'd also be great if users had the ability to drag-n-drop items they want added to their feed.

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...

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?
