    Hide Repeating Hierarchy Levels

    Flat ragged hierarchies often repeat values at lower levels due to different drill down paths. It would be very nice to have the options to hide levels if the parent has the same value. Currently I have to click down through many repeating levels ...

    Modify display of number of lines and total lines at the bottom riht of the window, in order to take into account lines that were eliminated by the data limitation expression in the property box of the vizualisation.

    One can filter out data with filters, but also by mean of the "Limit data with Expression" in the property box of a vizualisation. In that case, the number of rows that is displayed at the bottom of the screen is not correct: it takes into account...

    manage filters (show/hide columns) on per-filter scheme basis

    Currenly, the showing and hiding of filters is managed/controlled on a per-page basis rather than per filter scheme. There isn't a built-in feature available within Spotfire that allows you to show/hide filters based on the active filter scheme. C...

    add the abilty to save the settings of specific filters

    A very powerful ability of Spotfire is to use multiple filtering schemes, since the same data needs to be looked at in various ways, each filtering the data in a different way. In engineering applications with tall-skinny data, a disadvantage is t...
