The collaboration / conversations feature in Spotfire where users can make comments on a specific visualization is cool, except there are some features that I would prefer to control programmatically. For example, I would like to be able to disable the "Copy Link" and "Delete" options on a message for all users. Additionally, since I hide the Toolbar from my users by appending &options=3-0 to the URL, I would like to be able to programmatically open the "Conversations Panel" when the report is initially opened. I know that you can place the Collaboration icon in the top right of the Toolbar, but that doesn't help since I hide it.
Using the "Customize toolbar" option you can have full control over the toolbar content. In TIBCO Spotfire 11.6, it is now also possible to hide all the menus from the toolbar as a configuration option when showing a Spotfire analysis in a web page using the JavaScript API or parameterized URL.
