Spotfire Ideas Portal
When working with Spotfire *.dxp file cooperatively, the collaboration is very often hampered by the fact, that Spotfire tends to save *.dxp files as “linked”=”Always new data” by default. That happens in particular when:
I suggest forcing the user to make a decision upon save every time (at least, if there is an option to choose). I think this would help all users a lot and prevent many “I can not open your Spotfire”-Mails in Team discussions. If not possible by default, it would be O.K. if admins could set this option for a certain server.
As I have not used Certara D360, I don't know if this applies, but according to the Spotfire documentation (https://docs.tibco.com/pub/sfire-analyst/10.3.0/doc/html/en-US/TIB_sfire-analyst_UsersGuide/save/save_saving_an_analysis_file_in_the_library.htm):
"An Administrator may change the default data loading settings for file data sources, using preference settings. The preference settings are reached in the Administration Manager, Preferences tab, under Application > DataImportPreferences."
The DefaultFileDataSourceSaveBehavior preference can be set to "Cached" or "Embedded", instead of "Linked".
If I were in your situation, I would start by asking my administrator to try setting that preference (for your group, or just you) to see if that works. But again, I don't know how Certara D360 puts data into the analysis file, so I don't know if that will really solve your entire use case.
