- Options
If you want to reuse settings from one time to another, you can specify default settings. For example, you might want to specify that the marked items color should always be red when you start Spotfire, or that gridlines should be shown by default. This is done in the Options dialog, using the installed client. The default values you specify are also saved for your profile on the server, so your default settings will be available even if you are using a different computer. - Customizing the toolbar
To the right on the toolbar, you can add shortcuts to your favorite actions and tools. - Adding library items as favorites
You can add any library item (a file, folder, data connection, and so on) as a favorite and have it show up in a specialized view in the library. This way, you can easily find your most important or most commonly used items in the library.
