Previous versions (up to v7.5) of Spotfire Analyst had display of row numbers while loading Information Links in display window. Spotfire 7.11 shows loading of data in terms of data size being processed. This is not beneficial as Developer does not know how many rows are being processed, and what percentage of data being loaded. Display of number of rows processed will give a more realistic indication of the status of loading an Information Link. This is very useful when you are dealing with big reports.
Perhaps displaying both would be best.
