good practice for reporting tools! I am still learning

Hi! Here my solution :)

 

 

Spoiler
I made it this way:

1) export png pictures to a folder, ordered alphabetically, and then move that folder to Tableau's shapes folder
2) export data from Alteryx to a .hyper Tableau extract file
3) create a Tableau Dashboard with that .hyper file as an input, and reading shapes from pngs folder

Same as @patrick_digan and others, I thought it would be handy to link to the help documentation for each tool, so I added a hyperlink to the tool rank number.

 

My colleagues and I are doing a walking/fitness challenge leading up to Alteryx Inspire, and I needed to scrape the tool images for our tracking map. Luckily, I had parsed out the help URLs while I was at it, so I had a list ready to go! I did have to adjust a few tools such as the (deprecated) Charting tool (now Interactive Chart).

I added this to the beginning of my challenge 98 workflow, and I modified the Report Text tool containing the rank number to be a hyperlink instead of text only.

I decided to sort the table so that it would match the order that the tools appear in the tool bar above in Designer!

After this challenge, I believe that I'm all caught up with the superstars @NicoleJohnson and @patrick_digan
It was a long, tough road....

Couldn't get the images (with backgrounds) to export properly to png to use in Tableau, so I just made the backgrounds myself in Tableau! They are sorted by tool category and you filter to the tool categories that you want to look at

I converted the workflow to an app, using a Listbox to select tool categories and masking all tools from other categories.

As per I struggled with the reporting tools. Outputting the tool icons as pngs made them lose their alignment (and just look awful) So I had to ouput as .htm files and then use Alteryx to create a .bat script that screenshotted google chrome to convert them all to .png. Took some trial and error, but got there in the end 🙂

Like others I struggled outputting my pngs, so I had to output them as .htms and then batch convert them so I could use them in tableau. Here's my interactive output 🙂 Interactivity comes through highlight actions and control over the treemap's size

A lot of work went into this, but not in Alteryx. Mainly to create images and put them in something interactive in Tableau.

 

My workflow:

Images I created using the solution from the previous week's challenge:

I used numbered file names 001 to 168 in order to assign them as shapes within TableauI used numbered file names 001 to 168 in order to assign them as shapes within Tableau

I am not sure whether I can embed the dashboard in this reaction text, but you can try the following URL to see what I created:

The interactive result (including hyperlinks to Alteryx Documentation):
