    Spotfire Analyst - Add multiple data tables at once

    Spotfire 7.11 had the possibility to add several data tables at once (Information Links, files or others). Spotfire 10.3 does not have this possibility anymore. Very fast in 10.3 if only one data table needs to be added. Very inefficient when man...

    Cache job auto-restart upon failure

    We would like the option to automatically reattempt a cache job when it fails. We have some public api data sources that randomly fail from time to time, and they succeed if you just restart them. It would save us time and failure alerts if they c...

    Truncate cache buckets instead of delete

    Currently buckets have all their records deleted, and then the new records are inserted. In the database this means 2 write operations, and is a major cause of index fragmentation. Most databases allow you to truncate the table, which is only an a...

    It could be really usefull for collaboration and ease development to have the possibility to duplicate a datatable construction flow (Merge, transformations, ...) from data canvas and create a "template" flow linked to dataconnections or tables
