Basics
Learn the basics of how to import, wrangle, execute jobs, profile, and export your data fromDesigner Cloud.
Overview
Designer Cloud enables analysts, data specialists, and other domain experts to quickly cleanse and transform datasets of varying sizes for use throughout the enterprise. Using an innovative set of web-based tools, you can import complex datasets and wrangle them for use in virtually any target system. Key capabilities include:
Import from flat file, databases, or distributed storage systems
Locate and remove or modify missing or mismatched data
Unnest complex data structures
Identify statistical outliers in your data for review and management
Perform lookups from one dataset into another reference dataset
Aggregate columnar data using a variety of aggregation functions
Normalize column values for more consistent usage and statistical modeling
Merge datasets with joins
Append one dataset to another through union operations
Most of these operations can be executed with a few mouse clicks. This section provides a basic overview of common tasks through Designer Cloud.
Prerequisites
Before you begin, please verify the following:
Alteryx account: You have a Alteryx account and can login.
Example data: You should use a sample set of data during this task.
Basic Task
Import data:Integrate data from a variety of sources of data.
Suggerimento
When you login for the first time, you can immediately upload a dataset to begin transforming it.
See Import Basics.
Profile your data: Before, during, and after you transform your data, you can use the visual profiling tools to quickly analyze and make decisions about your data. See Profiling Basics.
Build transform recipes: Use the various views in the Transformer Page to build your transform recipes and preview the results on sampled data. See Transform Basics.
Sample your data: In Designer Cloud, you create your recipes while working with a sample of your overall dataset. As needed, you can take new samples, which can provide new perspectives and enhance performance in complex flows. See Sampling Basics.
Run job: Launch a job to run your recipe on the full dataset. Review results and iterate as needed. See Running Job Basics.
Export results: Export the generated results data for use outside of Designer Cloud. See Export Basics.
Object overview: You should review the overview of the objects that are created and maintained in Designer Cloud. See Application Asset Overview.
