Using Current Filter Settings as a Filter


When opening information links with columns prompted for values (see Adding Prompts) it is possible to use the visual capabilities of TIBCO Spotfire to set these values.

  1. Open a suitable data table in TIBCO Spotfire.

  2. Choose a subset either by filtering or by marking rows.

  3. Open an information link that contains prompts.

  4. When the Open Information Link dialog for the desired column appears, click Get Values....

    Response: The Column Values dialog is displayed.

  5. From the Column drop-down list, select the column (in the visualized data table) from which you want to get the values.

  6. Click All rows, Filtered rows or Marked rows, depending on which values you want to use.

  7. Click OK.

  8. In the Open Information Link dialog, click Next > (or Finish if this is the last prompted column).

  9. Repeat steps 4 to 8 for each prompted column.

    Response: The data is loaded and displayed in a visualization.
