Saving library items

In the installed Spotfire client, you can save other things in the library than just Spotfire analysis and data (for example, a data function, a data connection, a connection data source, or a color scheme) in the library. The Save as Library Item dialog lets you choose where to save the item, and edit some properties.

About this task

For information about saving analyses, see Saving an analysis.

You save items from the place where you create them.

Note: All types of data functions that you can save to the library might not be available for use in web clients and on all different platforms.

Note: If you save an item with the same name as an already existing library item, the versioning settings for the already existing item are used.

Before you begin

You must have the proper folder permissions to the folder where you want to save the library item.


Option	Description
Library path (Upper part of the dialog)	Shows the path from the library root folder down to the folder where you are currently located in the library. You can navigate upwards in the folder structure by clicking on the name of a folder that you want to navigate to.
Folder contents list (Middle part of the dialog)	Lists all the folders and files in the folder you are currently viewing.
Name	The name of the item as it will be shown in the library. It is important that the title is informative with regard to what the item actually does. Note: The name can be 256 characters at most, and the following characters are not supported: \ / : * ? " < > \|
Keywords (separated by semicolons)	Keywords specific to the content of the item. Keywords are separated by a semicolon. That is, if you write "temperature conversion; Fahrenheit" this is interpreted as two keywords, "temperature conversion" and "Fahrenheit". Use keywords to find items in the library. See Searching the library for more information. Keywords for data functions are used to group the data functions in the Data Functions - Select Function dialog. A data function is shown in multiple groups if it has multiple keywords.
New Folder	Opens the New Folder dialog where you can specify a new folder.
Folder Permissions	Opens a dialog where you can change the folder permissions.
