As the application is designed currently, you cannot change an insert columns operation once it has been added. The only way to change it is to replace the table and start over. This is extremely time consuming.
| Implemented in | 7.13 |
Adding data to your analysis by inserting columns (joins) is a core part of data preparation. With Spotfire 7.13 now available you now have the alternative to add columns by using Spotfire's web client Business Author in addition to the Windows client Spotfire Analyst. This means more users will be able to do their visual data discovery in their web browser without installing Spotfire's Windows client. If you discover issues with your joins while using any of the clients you can also edit them.
A new user interface based on Spotfire's recent Add Rows UI makes it really easy to understand the different join methods through illustrations. The result is previewed before finishing the edit. The UI is also smart. For example, it shortlists and recommends id and categorical columns that share name and datatype. This makes it quicker to find the columns you are most probably looking for.
