Similar to 'reset visible filter' need a button for 'reload' of latest data from database.
Right now we have to write custom scripts to pull the latest records on webplayer. All of our users access reports on webplayer/browser in production env. having 'Refresh' or 'Reload' button in filters panel will be good facility.
Spotfire Consumer users should be able to reload linked data from the Data menu and Spotfire Business Author users should be able to reload both linked and stored/all data from the same menu. Have you tested this?
