    Bring back option to have the file name as part of the file URL

    Prior to Spotfire version 11.4, when you saved a file to the library, the resulting file URL had the option to have the name of the file as part of the URL. In v11.4, it's a string of letters and numbers which makes it impossible to tell what file...

    Allow favoriting a file from the file

    Convenience. Better UX. Sometimes (often) I receive a file via a link to it. After processing it I want to favorite it. I don't know where it lives in the library. What to do? There is no way to get the library path from a dxp file, so if I want t...

    Multiple language support in visualization mods

    It should be possible to have support for multiple languages in a visualization mod. The mod developer should be able to add text resources for multiple languages for UI texts used in the manifest or JavaScript code. It would be nice if existing p...

    speed up csv load

    Attached screenshot indicates that csv file load is much slower than stdf or sbdf. It makes sense that sbdf is fast because it's binary, however we didn't expect stdf is almost as fast as sbdf. Since both csv and stdf are text files and the size o...

    Improve JS Mashup API

    Cannot get a full data table; can't explicitly call IronPython script - only through workaround; cannot extract individual visualisations from a DXP

    PDF Reporting Public API

    The new PDF output of visualizations could be very useful if it was accessible via a public API. One can create prepared reports but those are too defined for most self-service scenarios. It would be very useful if there was a public API for creat...
