Data ingest/wrangling

Data ingest/wrangling (ie, Info Designer, Data Connections) could be improved.

    Hi Niklas, the project shared the following has added the comment on below: It feels that Info Designer and Manage Connections should be combined into a single tool (and that everyone should have access to it by default). This is understandable that there are different uses of the two, but it would be good to see them in a single, unified interface with the option to choose in-db vs. in-mem, depending on the connector. Also would be good to see share data sources; defining the same source twice has always seemed confusing when being explained it to end users. There is also point that they get confused in defining transformations in Data Canvas vs. InfoLink or Connection. The functionality is there, but the user interface could be better. hope that makes sense.

    Hi Darya, thanks for taking the time to add your suggestion about improving data wrangling in Spotfire. However, for this to be a bit more actionable for us, could you mention some specific capabilities that you would like to see?
