Allow a TERR data function to output columns straight into a visualisation

Currently, TERR can output columns only into a fully loaded data table. If we wish our TERR column result to respond to filters or markings*, we must import not just the filtered table but also at least one column of the potentially massive origin...

Passing calendar dates from Spotfire tables into Matlab data-structures via a Data Function without having to recalculate the dates

Currently calendar dates in Spotfire tabular data are received through a Data Function into Matlab as dates counted from 1/1/1960 rather than from the standard calendar starting point. This requires performing in the Matlab Data Function a convers...

Data Functions to pass Spotfire data in Tables into Matlab objects of type "Table", "Array" or "Matrix" instead of "Structure"

Currently Spotfire tabular data is received through a Data Function into a "Structure" object (a datastructure where each column is recorded and accessed as a separate field). This is a structure much harder to manipulate in Matlab than a Matlab "...

Embedding Data Functions

We use Data Functions from our server library to quickly add features to new DXP files. The issue we are having is once you add a data function to a new DXP file it keeps the server path. If someone make a change to the function and then saves, it...

Enable "Replace Data Function" if a new .sfd is available

Say I have a data function (e.g. TERR) embedded within a Spotfire file. An updated copy of that data function becomes available as an .sfd file (maybe I sent a copy of the Spotfire dxp to a colleage, or to a different VM environment, and an improv...

Add "Limit data using expression" functionality to data function input data

When specifying input data for a data function, I am missing the "Limit data using expression" function. The limit by filtering and/or marking is there - but not the expression? This would really help limit the number of records sent to R for proc...

Produce warning when changing engine type in data function

Users can change the engine type in a data function without resetting all of the code, inputs, and outputs, which is fantastic. However it is maybe a little too easy to change this. I found just an accidental touch of the mouse scrolling switched ...

Allow users to unhook embedded data function from Spotfire library

If a user has a dxp file containing an embedded TERR data function that is synchronized with the Spotfire library, the path to the library is visible in the Data Function Properties dialog. If the user makes a change to the local copy and saves wi...

Provide a data function to interact with geo analytics REST APIs

When my data are related to addresses, routes, itineraries the only way to geocode or reverse geocode is to log into the geoanalytics web interface and do that manually. Currently one can use TERR, however the issue is that for the Web Player you ...

Provide and match default input and output handlers for Data Functions

WHAT: Currently a Data Function author much specify the inputs and outputs for the Data Function, and that information is included in the Data Function definition. However, when a data function is added to a DXP (whether from a .dfd file or the Li...
