When it comes to tools, Alteryx has a full box! With over 200 tools and macros in the basic installation, you may wonder how you'll master them all. Don't worry -we have 'apps' for that!
Alteryx tools are designed to be focused and specific in their function - simple, yet powerful. Understanding what goes in and out while grasping what happens in-between makes the most sense in a workflow and that is why we have One-Tool Examples in the product.
One Tool Examples
One Tool Examples are sample workflows that demonstrate different configuration options for one tool at a time. You can access them a couple of different ways:
1 - From the Help Menu: Go to Sample Workflows > Learn one tool at a time> Tool Category
2 - From the Tool Palette: Clickon a tool and then click Open Example:
3 - From Global Search: Search a tool name. If that tool has a One Tool Example, an Example button will display on the right. Clicking the Example button will open the One Tool Example:
The following list of tools, organized by tool category, have aOne Tool Example in Alteryx version 2018.3:

Is there a way for me to print a legible copy of the examples?
@sduvall There is a Print option in the File menu...
@sduvallDo you want to print the list of examples or do you want to print the workflows themselves? If the latter, follow the info given by @NeilR. If the former, I want to let you know that this list is frequently updated and expanded. A good resource to see the latest one tool examples added to the list, see the release notes
here. In the latest version, many examples were added to the Spatial category.
