It's 2016 already? How did that happen?!?
Thanks to everyone that particpated in 2015! We had an incredible year and are looking forward to an amazing 2016! We're rolling into the new year strong with more enhancements, new features, and updates based on your feedback and a robust development roadmap. We're working hard every day to ensure that we provide a fantastic community experience for all.
Here are the details on the first major update of the new year.
New Search Scope Feature
Less clicks, less fuss. Find what you're looking for faster by changing the scope of your search right from the search bar!

New Badges
We've created a new badge for the Alteryx User Group Leaders among us:

When you sign up for the community we automatically give you one of our slick Alteryx tool icons at random. We love our tools, but we love seeing your faces even more! Now when you change your avatar you'll get a cool new badge to commemorate the occasion (Why a ninja? Because it's awesome. Duh!):
