    enable copy on expression fields in data canvas

    I think you are able to do this in Analyst. I needed to copy the Expression text out of the Column Properties in the Web Player data canvas, since its the only way to get to them on the WP. They are pretty gnarly. Unfortunately this is not possibl...

    Update the "Open from Library" dialog to aggregate open time and correct the problems with it.

    The file open dialog gives a readout of the steps taken with a running timer for each. Unfortunately, the data is useless. It does not aggregate the total time, and it drops values of the intermediate steps. I personally watched a file load in sev...

    Create a 'List box' property control with expression within a text area using a table apart from the default table

    While working in the Property control dialog, select the property and set 'Set property value through' to 'Expressions'. However, when you attempt to Edit the Expression, only the column names from the default table are visible but not other tables.

    Spotfire Cloud - Scheduled updates of data tables / files

    I am really missing the option to set scheduled updates / reloads for analysis files (and/or individual data tables) in Spotfire Cloud. If we had this feature, it would be a no-brainer to buy multiple licenses of Spotfire Cloud. I would just lik...
