Spotfire Ideas Portal
Detail visualizations do not automatically zoom into the new data displayed due to filtering and marking. The author must expose zoom sliders, which take up space, and users must go into each detail visualization and manually reset the zoom sliders to accurately show the markers. This is a turn-off for authors and users. There is a workaround posted that requires the use of a no-op "bypass data function" that changes a document property that will trigger an iron python script that unsets then resets the ManualZoom property of the Visual. It works, but it's a costly fix because it has to be repeated for all DXP files. Futhermore, I believe there is no way in the API to test for a TrellisVisualization (no TypeParameter available) so the author has to test against all types of concrete visualizations individually, because not all visualizations have zoom sliders. Ugh.
Spotfire should automatically reset the zoom of all zoomable visualizations based on any marking or filtering - whenever the number of rows displayed are changed. That's the right thing to do, and it looks good too. Right now it either looks awful and requires users to continually resize all affected visualizations, or it requires a very involved workaround that needs to be applied for each DXP file created. Bad on all accounts.
I have verified this behavior in 7.11LTS and 10.2
thank you.

This also is happening to me when I, say, add a rule to a stacked bar chart that limits the # bars displayed to to "top N". The first bar is shown only, and then I have to pull the zoom slider down to show the rest of them. This is in 10.2.
