Introduction to Applications and Macros
Introduction to Applications and Macros
In this lesson you will be introduced to the Alteryx interface tools, learning the difference between an Analytical App and a Macro. The different types of macros are also discussed.
Preparing Data for an Analytical App
Preparing Data for an Analytical App
Learn how to build your first Analytical App. In this first lesson, we prepare a workflow suitable for conversion to an Analytical App.
Creating an Analytical App
Creating an Analytical App
In this, the second of five lessons designed to introduce you to the concept of Analytical Apps, we deploy our first interface tool. You will learn how to introduce user defined custom dates to your workflow.
The Interface Designer
The Interface Designer
You will continue designing your first Analytical App in this lesson, examining the Interface Designer in order to configure your app's user interface.
Adding Dynamic Filters
Adding Dynamic Filters
In the penultimate lesson detailing your first Analytical App you will learn how to update interface tools dynamically so that the choices available to the user are not hardcoded but rather determined automatically by the data in the workflow.
Alternative Filters
Alternative Filters
In this fifth and final lesson designed to introduce you to Analytical Apps, you will learn how to introduce detours into your workflow so that your app can offer alternative options to the user.
Preparing Data for a Basic Macro
Preparing Data for a Basic Macro
You will learn how to build your first macro by designing a tool that uses an API to download foreign exchange information. This first lesson sets up the workflow.
Creating Basic Macros
Creating Basic Macros
In this, the second half of the macro introduction, you will learn how to convert a workflow into a macro and then subsequently how to deploy that macro effectively.
Preparing Data for a Batch Macro
Preparing Data for a Batch Macro
Continuing our examination of the macro options available in Alteryx, in this lesson you will learn of the versatile batch macro.
Creating Batch Macros
Creating Batch Macros
Learn how to complete and utilize a batch macro to automatically reference files in a local directory and post the output to an alternative directory.
Developing an Iterative Framework
Developing an Iterative Framework
You will learn how to configure an iterative macro so that you can run multiple queries in order to determine an optimal result. In this first lesson, you will learn how to configure the iterations required.
Running our Iterative Macro
Running our Iterative Macro
In the second of our lessons regarding iterative macros, you will learn how to complete the iterative macro workflow, and then deploy that macro to a relevant workflow.
