Configure your mobile device to run Spotfire

After you have downloaded the app, make sure that it works the way you want it to work. These are a few of the configuration tasks to perform when you first load and run the app.

When you first open it, the app displays Examples. You can familiarize yourself with Spotfire app behavior by tapping one of the examples before you connect to your own server or TIBCO Cloud Spotfire account and otherwise configure the Spotfire app.

  2. Configure either your TIBCO Cloud Spotfire account or add a connection to a Spotfire Server.

You can add as many TIBCO Spotfire® Server connections as you need, or you can edit or delete the Spotfire® Server connections. See Adding a connection to a Spotfire Server for more information.

This option is set to automatically store credentials on your device by default. If you disable this option, then you must enter your credentials each time you first connect to a Spotfire Server.

After the initial configuration is set, you can set additional configuration options. See Settings for a list of options, as well as whether they are set in the device's general Settings or the Spotfire app Settings view.
