Master Alteryx Analytical Apps

You have created some great Alteryx workflows, now how do you share it so your colleagues can also use it with their own inputs? Have you built Alteryx workflows which others need to run who don't have Alteryx License? Is your boss always coming to you for data requests and reports? Do you find yourself dealing with processes that have to repeat again and again?

In this course, learn how to turn your workflow into Analytic Applications or Apps by using Interface Tools in Alteryx so your end-users can easily adjust the workflow based on their own needs.

Learn how to publish your workflows to the Alteryx gallery so others can be self-sufficient with their requests and users can run Alteryx apps from a simple web interface.

This course covers how to build analytic Applications or simply Apps in Alteryx. Alteryx Apps are workflows with an interface that have interactive elements built into them. This user interface allows users to interact with and adjust the underlying workflow without editing individual tools. Alteryx Apps also facilitates the automation of repetitive processes through Apps like quarterly closeouts, weekly revenue report generation, creating PDF reports.

Alteryx Apps enables you to toggle variables within a workflow by connecting tools from Interface Tools category to your workflow tools. Interface tools are used to build the user interface and update the workflow tools with the values the user picks in the user interface like a drop-down choice between sorting by the customer or by product or a numeric up-down control to select 10 records or choosing output format to generate a report.

Alteryx Analytical Apps are a standard out-of-the-box feature of Alteryx and are not installed separately. Apps have the file extension yxwz. Any workflow no matter how simple or complex can be turned into an Alteryx App by adding tools from the Interface tool category. One of the key benefits of analytic apps is that they are not just restricted for use by those with Alteryx designer licences.

If you are planning to appear for Alteryx Advanced Certification exam Exam, Analytical Apps is one of the core topic tested in the exam. This course covers all the tools required to create an App in Alteryx which is tested during the exam.

In this course we will cover:

Interface Tools - Interface Tools can be used to update standard WorkFlows tool (WorkFlows tools are standard tools which are housed in other tools palette)

Interface Designer - How you want your user to be able to interact with the WF that you have built

Specifically, you will learn how to:

• Convert an existing WF into an existing app using Interface tools

• Configure the interactive experience with the Interface designer

• Choose from the range of interface tools to construct a user-friendly Interface

• Publish your app to the Alteryx Gallery for consumption by others

• Use interface tools to update tools in a Standard Workflow

• Use the Interface Designer to arrange interface elements and customize app behaviours.

Interface Tools you will learn from the course:

• Action Tool

• Drop Down

• List Box

• Date Tool

• Numeric Up Down

• File Browse

• Folder Browse

• Text Box Tool

• Error Message

• CheckBox

• Control Parameter

• Map

• Tree Tool

You should be familiar with the fundamentals of Alteryx before you take this course. You just need to have basic knowledge of Alteryx like how to navigate Alteryx and be able to create a simple workflow.

The purpose of the course is to master Alteryx Apps. We will start with the very basics of creating an App. We will then cover the different interface tools and take a deep dive into its various configuration options. We will then learn how to make your app robust by using error tool. After that, we will move on to advanced topics like checkbox tool, radio tool to route your app based on conditions and how to use the control parameter. We will also learn how to chain multiple apps together by using Chained App functionality.

Let's dive into Alteryx Apps with lessons that incorporate videos, resources and quizzes to assess your knowledge and reinforce your understanding of the key topics.
