Editing a Column in Information Designer


To edit a column:

  1. In Information Designer, in the Elements tree, double-click on the column element you wish to edit.

    Response: A Column Element tab is displayed.

  2. Modify the desired fields.

  3. Click Save to save/update the column, or click Save As to create a copy.

    Comment: Use Save As if you want to keep the old column definition unchanged.

Note: Some characters are forbidden in the element names and file system of TIBCO Spotfire 3.0 and forward: /\*"?:<>|

Old information models with element names containing these characters can be imported. However, you cannot edit and resave elements using their old names if they contain forbidden characters.
