make more clear message for errors in calculated column functions.

I'd like to see clearer error messages. It's hard to tell what kind of error a function error is. It's hard to tell from the message what's wrong and how to fix it. Even if it's written in character count, I have to count it, which is hard to unde...

Merge columns even if the data types are different.

When merging columns (data joins), even if the column names are the same, they won't be automatically matched if the data types don't match. When there's a large amount of data, setting each column individually can be time-consuming, so we'd like ...

Spotfire Analyst - Add more information for transformations in the Data Canvas

When displaying the transformations under the Data Canvas, when many transformations are performed, it is tricky to just have the transformation sequence number, without the name of a column for example. This would lead to Edit several times in th...

Provide a setting to control automatic column addition in joins.

Currently, for every join, columns that were added at a later moment to one of the sub/right tables are automatically joined into all joins where this table is used. In most cases this is not desired. Proposed feature should work by either turning...

Spotfire Analyst - Add multiple data tables at once

Spotfire 7.11 had the possibility to add several data tables at once (Information Links, files or others). Spotfire 10.3 does not have this possibility anymore. Very fast in 10.3 if only one data table needs to be added. Very inefficient when man...

Adjust order of data tables, in Data Canvas, Data Table Properties dialog and Tag Panel

We use lots of data tables in a report and sometimes have to add new ones etc. Not all of them are meant for users, but they all appear in the tag panel. Now the users have to use the tag panel to make certain inputs to the analysis. To make the t...

Data models should be possible to share and reuse

Our data models are often very complex with many add rows, add columns and transformations. It would save us a lot of time if these could be reused. Maybe they can be stored as library items.

Spotfire Analyst - More details on data loading / transformation

For analysis performance monitoring or troubleshooting on the user side, the field Data loaded at is not sufficient and could lead to confusion. More information like these would be useful: Start time: (timestamp including seconds) End time: (time...

Combination of filters using and, or, xor, not etc.

In many cases it is useful to have a filter where a row filtering should depend on two columns. An example would be to select all rows with country equal to UK or Year before 2010. This is currently not possible without using a calculated column w...
