New to Alteryx!

[Maggie_yo]

Hi everyone! It is my first time working with Altryx and I am spending a lot of time in the Academy. Would it be possible for me to log into the system so that I could explore for myself? There are weekly challenges that I would really like to participate in so I can learn Alteryx by actually using it rather than just watching videos or reading articles.

Hey, @Maggie_yo.

I believe you can access all the public-facing pages related to Alteryx now that you're a member of the community. The Weekly Challenges are one of the ways I improved my understanding of Designer. It had an added benefit of making me a better analyst, especially because I had to solve a variety of problems/use cases.

Thank you for your reply!

My question was if it's possible to have access somehow to the Designer so I can also put into practice what I learn, not only to read about how to work with it.

I will start my new job in September and I will be primarily working with Alteryx, so I'm using the time to get to know the system until then :)

@Maggie_yo Oh, you mean you don't have Designer on your computer? You can get a free trial here: https://www.alteryx.com/designer-trial/free-trial-alteryx
