Brand New to Alteryx

Question

Hi yall,

I am brand new to using Alteryx and have been trying to familiarize myself with the new working environment. I was wondering if there are any customization to the environment this community finds to be best practices. I was also wondering which functions you guys have favorited or if there are any tools you find underrated when working with python?

Thanks,

Craig

hey @Craig7979

Welcome to the community!

The two most common customizations that people do are the Crew Macros (from @MarqueeCrew ) and the Abacus addin (from @jdunkerley79 )

These are not supported by Alteryx but they are great value and they have been built by people who are passionate about Alteryx.

BTW - as a new user - it's well worth working through the weekly challenges - they are one of the best ways to learn the platform https://community.alteryx.com/t5/*/bd-p/weeklychallenge

Hi @Craig7979,

by customization you are reffering to macros?

If yes I believe this is one of the most widely used macro packs

i dont have much python experience so I will not be able help with the second question.

i wish you good luck and I hope you will enjoy working with Alteryx.
