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.

An administrator can also configure which settings should be default for certain user groups on the server. If you are a member of such a group, these defaults will take effect for you, unless you have made an active choice and specified your own default value in the Options dialog.

To reach the Option dialog, on the menu bar, select Tools > Options.
