I would like to see the PAD (and/or LPAD/RPAD) function added to Spotfire. This is a common string function in many other DBMSs and tools. Example use case:I had a data source with one column containing SEQUENCE (i.e. integer 1-15) and another col...
Easily display htmlwidgets/Javascript visualizations from TERR in Spotfire

From Spotfire R / TERR script editor, have a right-click option to export existing script to R-Studio and automatically export the Spotfire Data that is required in the script.
Currently, a user needs to copy the R / TERR from Spotfire, then laun...
Create a Data Function definition (.sfd file) directly from RStudio
WHAT: Provide utility functions, documentation, perhaps UI for an R author to create a Data Function Definition directly from RStudio
WHY: Enable an R author to create Data Functions without having to use the Spotfire UI, and do more of their work...
Ability to specify plots as outputs from data functions
WHAT: Ability to specify plots as outputs from data functions (in additions to binary objects, tables, columns and single values). Somehow specify when creating the data function at least minimal info to create plot (e.g., Visualization type, vari...
Frequently, there are specific colors that I want to use for certain dimensions in my data. For instance, if I have credit card transaction data, and I want to break things out by 'Card Type', I should be able to set "AmEx = Green", "Visa = Blue",...
