Change Default Number of Decimals on Imported Data

Currently when you import real data into Spotfire it always truncates the results at 2 decimal places, would like the ability to change the default import to whatever number would best fit the data. If it has to be a hard number than change it from 2 to 4 decimal places.

    Hello Dean,

    You can easily change the formatting setting for lat/long columns to show a specific number of decimals or set the number of decimals automatically. To do this:

    1. Open data panel

    2. Select the latitutde or longitude column and show details on selected column

    3. Go to formatting settings

    4. Set the number of decimals. In my following example I set it to auto.

    Frustrating. I had started to build a nice mapping integration, but users need Lat Long to 6 decimal places for reasonable accuracy. Back to Esri I go.
