Challenge #158: Personality Quiz

Challenge #158 is all about replicating the Personality Quiz app that is seen here on the Alteryx Analytic Gallery. Be sure to run the app, and open the .htm file to view the desired results. No start file will be given since this app does not require any data beyond what was input from a user.

Open spoiler for details after observing the app run.

April fools! Go prank some co-workers with your application 🙂

Prank tip: Run up to someones open workflow and press the following buttons in the following order: 'Ctrl a', 'Ctrl shift +'
'Ctrl shift -'.

Hit the 'ctrl z' combo twice after you are done if you are a merciful prankster.

Very cute......

It's good to see that you didn't follow Microsoft's lead in these matters.

haha! I'll admit that I clicked the link... Here's my replication. I passed the responses via reference shortcut and then rendered it as pcxml right to the screen so there's no need to download the html.

A very fun challenge! I made some modifications to the options to choose from. I thought about a tree file for the favorite tool, but figured I would keep it simple.

Glad to see April Fools' pranks are still alive and kicking!

What are you trying to do in your "prank tip?" I'm assuming it's more than just zooming in and out?

JoeM

Sorry @zachwatts - check again (I put in the wrong hot keys)

I could have spent way too much time modifying this. Just ended up adding a different link per animal. If real work didn't have to get done, would have had a different result for each combination (48 total).

Fun challenge ... made some small changes to the interface and tool selection only. It would be interesting to create a specific link for each combination

Didn't think I would still be rick rolled in 2019...

Good practice on app interface options! Prior to this, I'd never tried a tabbed layout.

Spoiler

I thought I would have to systematically run the solution app over and over to get the personality type for each combination... instead I got rickrolled!!

Was not sure what to do with this one... do it or replicate it...

Tabbed questions is an interesting one!

Bit of a mammoth interface for such a teeny workflow !

@patrick_digan

The reference shortcut is a really neat trick, is there anywhere that is documented?

None the less learned something new so thanks!

Love this @JoeM ! A bit of a challenge for me - I'm still pretty new to apps/publishing - but got there in the end!

Seems like the app online always goes to the same youtube video. I made mine do the same.

Ha ha ha, one really needs to pay attention to the date this challenge was posted.

But thanks for the Rick-roll, and it was fun to build an app, not something I have done much of, but here is my solution

Spoiler

I started out by building the basics for the workflow, before turning it into an app.

In the end it came up looking like this:

The WorkflowFrom within the Alteryx Designer you can then run the App, and when I do, it ended up looking like this:
The App

The AppAnd the result (depending on the answers) pretty much looks the same as in the provided App

The Result
I am happy though, that I have previously watched the Analytic App Development for Intermediate Users Live Training from @JoeM since it gives some great insight not only in how to build applications but also how to debug them 👍

It seems that you cannot attach Apps to the community, so I have saved the App as a Alteryx Package instead.

This is great - what a fantastic personality test.

I achieved the same outcome without using any reporting tools.

Spoiler

Used a link tool on the interface to achieve the same outcome - seemed to be a more direct route.

Glad to learn how to do links in reporting text tho!
