    Say you have a number of points on a map, in this case representing a hypothetical wellbore as an example. It would be amazing if you could click a point and move it in space. We’ve built a well planning app in spotfire and need the ability to mov...

    Categoric custom color scheme import needs improvement - I need to choose the colors. And More.

    Allow the view Definitions to be published along with the view

    Users are not able to see the view definitions of the views that they connect to through the Data Virtualization tool. View definitions are required for QA teams and other users to validate that the view is bringing back the correct information.

    custom y-axis label when using multiple columns
