Currently custom application and document tools show up in the Tools menu. It is also possible to specify that the tool should be placed in a custom menu group.
However when building using Spotfire as a platform for new analytic applications it would be better if it was possible to add some tools and menu groups to one or more new top level menu items. This would make them easier to find for users of the analytic applications.
Since the custom tools are often the most used for users of the analytic application having direct access to them in a top level menu would make the analytic application easier to use. Together with existing co-branding and white-labeling capabilities the special top level menu(s) would also add another element of branding to the customized application.
Implemented in | 10.10 |
In Spotfire 10.10, it is now possible to create custom top level menus for your application and document tools. Read more here.
