New Features
The following new features have been added to version 7.0.0 of TIBCO Spotfire® Consumer/Business
Author and Web Player.
Recommendations in Business Author
Spotfire Recommendations is a new, easier and faster way of creating visualizations, learning about
your data and letting you get to insights quicker—regardless of whether you are an experienced
analyst or a newcomer to visual analytics. With Spotfire Recommendations you can look at your data
from different angles, discover new insights, and get a visual overview of your data.
New Data Panel in Business Author
Spotfire 7.0 allows you to get a better overview of the loaded data in the new data panel. Here, all
columns in the data are visible. By default, the columns are divided into categories such as number,
category, or time, which makes it easier to find what you are looking for. The data panel is the basis
for interacting with your columns; you can grab a column and drop it on the visualization, rename a
column, delete a column or filter the data based on the column values.
New Visual Themes
You can now view your analysis or dashboard using:
●
a new design of the classical Spotfire light theme
●
a brand new dark theme
●
a custom theme, if a custom theme has been defined by the author of your analysis/dashboard
You change themes using the Visual theme button in the toolbar.
Overview of Changed Filters
An overview of changed filters is provided in the filters panel and in the new data panel.
Hierarchy Slider for TimeSpan Columns
Just like for DateTime columns, columns of type TimeSpan now automatically get a Hierarchy slider.
Improved Default Titles for Visualizations
With the new default title (${AutoTitle}) used when creating a new visualization, the title changes
dynamically to reflect the current configuration of the visualization.
Easy Edit of Visualization Title
Double-clicking in a visualization title bar will now allow you to edit the visualization title.
Grouping of Categories
The new easy-to-use grouping feature allows you to combine two or more marked categories
displayed in the visualization into one. This is very useful in several situations:
●
When you want to compare the total of more than one category against other categories. For
example, when you want to compare the sales in (Boston + New York) against sales in Los
Angeles.
●
When you spot spelling errors or alternative spellings that cause data to be split into more
categories than needed.
●
When you want to compare, for instance, the top 10 categories against the rest.
Quick Configuration of Visualizations in Business Author
It is now easier and faster to configure most visualization properties in Business Author. You can
directly select configuration options after clicking (left-clicking) on the axis of visualization. A set of
configuration options are shown in a pop-up menu. The available options vary between different
6
visualization types and which axis you click on. On touch devices, tapping on an axis invokes the
pop-up menu.
Configure Map Charts in Business Author
It is now possible to create map charts in Business Author. You can select to create map charts with
either one marker layer or one feature (shape) layer. If the data contains longitude and latitude, these
values are used to place markers or shapes. If the data has no longitude or latitude, Spotfire places
markers or shapes based on geocoding (translating the name of known states, cities, etc., into
geographical positions).
Improved Context Menu in Business Author
The context menu that is available through right-click in the visualizations has been extended with
two new entries:
●
Duplicate visualization
●
Properties (reaches the visualization properties pop-over)
Drag-and-Drop Hierarchy Level from the Data Panel to a Visualization
It is now possible drag a sub-level in a dimension hierarchy to the X-axis, in order to only show the
sub-hierarchy of interest in the visualization. The data panel is available in Business Author.
Drag-and-Drop in Business Author
In Spotfire 7.0 the web authoring client Business Author introduces the capability to configure
visualizations through drag-and-drop. For example, you can easily add a column to the color axis by
dragging it from the data panel to the color drop target in the center of the visualization, or to the
color axis in the legend.
Drag-and-Drop Data into Business Author
It is now possible to load data into Business Author by dragging and dropping the data, either in the
library browser (to create a new analysis) or in the Business Author analytical client (to add data to an
existing analysis)
Improved Excel Data Loading in Business Author
When loading data from an Excel file, Business Author now allows you to select which worksheet to
open and gives you a preview of the data in the worksheet.
Mark From Legend
Spotfire 7.0 introduces the ability to mark elements in the visualization by clicking on categories in the
legend. This is useful especially in visualizations with many graphical elements and lets you compare
the marked category with the other categories. Mark from legend works for the color and shape axis
for categorical and binned columns.
Map Chart Geocoding Improvements
Several improvements have been made to the Map Chart geocoding, including:
●
Improved center point calculation. For instance, the marker for Florida is now better placed.
●
Most common geocoding tables are now sorted by population. This gives a better result when the
geocoding is ambiguous, like, when geocoding on a city column only and several cities with the
same name exist.
Cache and Preload SBDF Files on the Web Player Server
In order to quickly create and share map chart visualizations that uses geocoding tables, and to
quickly open SBDF files from the library, it is now possible to cache and preload the SBDF files stored
in the library.
Scheduled Updates Cache
7
It is now possible to cache data from scheduled analyses on disk to be able to reload the analyses
faster after restarting the Web Player.

negatively, and there are complications concerning port numbers.
