Welcome To our Community The Alteryx Community was created to provide a place for members or participants to search for information, read and post about topics of interest, and learn from each other. Depending on how the community is set up, you'll find: boards where you can post questions and answers BLOGS where you can read and comment on articles idea exchanges where you can suggest ways to improve products and vote for ideas that other community members have posted and more... Guests (unregistered visitors) can browse or search the community for information. Members (registered users) can post messages or comments, track discussions, and get email notifications on posting activity and other community actions.       What is my role and responsibility in the community? You are essential to the community, even if all you ever do is read messages or articles that someone else has posted. Communities offer all kinds of contributions: posting questions and sharing answers, leaving comments on blog articles or ideas, voting for ideas you like, or just searching for answers to your questions. We encourage you to visit often and participate. Ask your toughest questions. Chances are someone has a solution or can point you in the right direction. If you find a solution that works, let others know and pass on your own tips and insights. You might just have the answer someone else needs. Remember to thank community members who have helped you. Show your appreciation by giving likes to helpful posts, accepting a solution that answers your question, or posting thank-you replies. We want the community to be appropriate, friendly, informative, and fun for everyone. Be sure to read the Community Terms of Service and the community's Guidelines so that you know what to expect and what is expected of you when you're here.

During testing of Alteryx's new beta program it was discovered that for some users a timing related unexpected behavior could occur during onboarding.  The end result is that until the current browser session is ended or internet cache is cleared, users will see an unresponsive screen with this error message:  'The page you are attempting to access is unavailable'.    This behavior is not expected to affect many users, but on the offhand chance you experience it, the known workflow to reproduce and corresponding workaround are described below.   Sign in/Sign up at beta.alteryx.com Figure 1 - Sign in/Sign up   Sign Up - Validate Your Email Sign Up – Create an Account Figure 2 – Create an Account   Accept License Agreement Figure 3 – Accept Beta Testing Agreement   Fill Out User Profile Info Figure 4 – User Profile Info   Wait for Approval Figure 5 – Hang tight!   Check Your Email and click the link: Figure 6 – Email Welcome to Project   NOTE: If you haven’t left your browser session, You’ll see this error message, I’m assured by Centercode that this is normal and usually wont impact users.  The issue is that new permissions/roles/teams are assigned upon login to Centercode.  Since you haven’t left your session, you need to establish a new connection.  You can either 1 of 2 completely close and relaunch your web browser, or 2 of 2 clear your internet cache/cookies in Chrome (Ctrl+Shift+Delete) to continue.  Details for 2 are in figure 8 below : Figure 7 – uh oh!   NOTE: To Clear Browser history in Chrome I just chose these options: Figure 8 – Clear your cache (last 24 hours should be fine)   Click to join the Beta Program you’re interested in: Figure 9 – Back to Normal!   Start Testing!!!   Figure 10 – You're Beta Testing Now!
