    Spotfire Analysis cleanup agent

    Over time Spotfire Analyses tend to grow more and more complex, and as requirements or the environment changes, some parts become obsolete. Yet, these assets may remain in the analysis, making it harder to understand it, especially when taking it ...

    Tibco should create a "Calendar" visualization type in Spotfire.

    I always find myself struggling to find a good place to create calendar visualizations to add to presentations or project documents. In discussions with coworkers we came to the conclusion that this should absolutely be a chart-type in Spotfire. I...

    Out-of-the-box dashboard for usage metrics

    Add a default usage metrics dashboard for Spotfire Library objects to help administrators and authors understand who is using their tools. Should sit on the existing log infrastructure, it just seems silly for each TIBCO customer to have to make t...

    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...

    Allow authentication tokens to be passed to external URLs when rendering images from cells

    Currently if images in table cells are sourced from a URL which requires authentication (e.g. S3 bucket), then it's not possible to pass existing credentials to the URL. For example if using OpenID to connect, the expectation is that the access to...
