Visualisation is normally used in tableau but you can visualise maps in Alteryx as well despite looking very limited in comparison to tableau. For this blog I will be using data on bus routes.
To start with we need to create a point (similar to the make point function in tableau) to do this we go to the spatial section and select the create points tool.
Once the tool is selected you want to specify the longitude and latitude and then Alteryx will create a spatial point which can then be used. This also creates a new column in the output section called a centroid.
Once we have our point created we want to start building our desired view, here I wanted to visualise bus routes so a sequence polyline is being used (create a line of the route), then the field created by the create point function (centroid) is used as the source field, we then want to define how our points will be grouped as well as the sequence the route will follow.
We then set up a browse tool next to the poly build tool and we can view a visualised map that has been created.
