Spotfire Ideas Portal
The create_visualization action is supposed to have a libraryId and path included in the action, but it doesn't. I suspect all the other new actions that relate do not either. They are useless without that information. Can someone please add them into the action log?.

Hello JP,
The feedback makes sense.
In regards to modification and deletion actions for visualizations. How would use these logs? What level of details would you expect to get for modifications of visualizations?
Hi Arnaud,
Thanks for the reply. I have figured it out - I think that there needs to be more documentation around these new actions. If the behavior was explained, then I would not have spent a few hours testing this out to find out what Spotfire was doing. Or wasting your time as well.
Create new file > create visualizations >> no id1 or id2 values
Save file to library and continue to create visualizations (same session) >> no id1 or id2 values
Reopen file in a new session > create visualizations >> id1 and id2 values now present
NOTE. When the vis is created, you will always get the default visualization name. This is typically useless as it is then changed in a subsequent action that is not logged. Also, deleting a visualization is not logged, nor is modifying a visualization. So, what's the point?
thank you,
JP
Hello JP,
Unfortunately we couldn't reproduce this issue. In order to have the action information in the log, the analysis must be opened from the Spotfire library. Did you observe this issue with analysis opened from the library? Also, note that Spotfire doesn't add the action information retroactively to the logs; the analysis must be opened from the library for these actions to appear.
Thank you,
Arnaud
