Email Hyperlink

Other BI platforms allow for email by clicking on an icon. It would be useful to have the same in Spotfire so that when we are given an example of a dashboard to reverse engineer, we can add that functionality. The lack of it gives the appearance that there is an advantage to switching to the other platform.

    Thank you for clarifying your use case; that make it very clear.

    It is possible to enable one-click email functionality by adding the “mailto:” prefix directly within the table visualization properties. This allows users to click on the email address in the table, which will automatically open their default email client with a new message ready to send. To do this go to table visualization Properties > Columns, select the email column and set Renderer to Link. Then go to Settings and add the "mailto:" prefix.

    While displaying an icon instead of the email address isn’t natively supported in this setup, this approach provides a quick way to enable email functionality with minimal configuration.
    Still, you request for displaying an icon makes sense as part of our future plans. Thank you.

    Thank you for posting this idea. Could you provide a bit more detail on what you envision for this functionality? Is it about being able to quickly email a hyperlink of a Spotfire analysis by email? One or multiple visualizations? Maybe both? Or is there another specific workflow or feature that you are looking for?

    Any additional information on your intended use will be very helpful in evaluating your request. Thank you!
