Cloud Quest Submission Process Update!

[AYXAcademy]

Hi Maveryx,

We are launching an updated process to submit Cloud Quest solutions!

Starting today and moving forward we will provide a JSON workflow start file for each quest. Whenever possible, the workflow contains starting data preloaded into a Text Input tool (or tools). Occasionally you may need to manually connect any provided CSV files if the records exceed the maximum allowed in a Text Input tool.

Upload this JSON file into your Alteryx Analytics Cloud Library, then you can open the file and start solving the quest in Designer Cloud!

Similarly, once you are finished, you can export your JSON solution file to attach to your reply on Community.

• Remember to attach your solution file to your reply on Community to get credit towards your Cloud Quest badge count. 
• Please continue to upload a screenshot of your solution workflow so other Maveryx can check out your creativity!

Review the instructions below learn how to import and export Alteryx Designer Cloud workflows:

Import the Cloud Quest Start File

• Download the provided JSON start file and upload it into your Analytics Cloud library.
• Open the workflow in Designer Cloud.
• Start solving!

Export Your Solution

• Once you have completed your quest, go back to your Analytics Cloud library.
• Download your workflow solution file.
• Upload your JSON file as an attachment to your comment.

We think this process is going to be more intuitive as it more closely aligns to the method used to upload Designer Desktop Weekly Challenge solutions. Please let us know how this new process is working for you and if you have any suggestions! Email us at academy@alteryx.com or leave a comment below.

Thank you!

do we need to go back and resubmit old answers to get credit towards the badge?

Apologies for the late reply Treyson. No you do not need to resubmit for previous quests. We are counting the screen shots you uploaded towards your badge count. Good question though, thanks!
