When you are working with data from Salesforce.com, Google Analytics or saved data files in the library, you can keep the data linked to the source, so that the data is reloaded from the source each time you open the analysis. However, you may also want to reload the linked data during a session, without having to reopen the analysis. For example, if you know that data in the source is refreshed every five minutes and you want to view the absolutely latest data, then you can reload the data as described in this topic.
Prerequisites
You must have some data loaded in the analysis and the
Data panel must be shown.
Note: It is not possible to reload data if you only have access to Spotfire Consumer. You need access to
Spotfire Business Author to perform these steps.
Procedure
-
In the
Data panel, click the
Expand data panel for tools and details button,
.
-
Click
Source view.
If you cannot see the source view button, you may need to click the
Go to data table view link first.
-
In the source view of the expanded data panel, locate the node that represents the data source you want to reload and click on the button at the lower part of the node representing the data loading settings.
If your data source lacks this type of button, then it means that the data source cannot be reloaded. For example, if the final data table has been saved as embedded using
Spotfire Analyst, then you will not see any button at all on the data source.
Also, calculated data sources based on data functions or other tools in
Spotfire Analyst, or data that can only use stored data (for example, data pasted from the clipboard in
Spotfire Analyst or data from local files that have been uploaded to Business Author) cannot be reloaded.

In the
Data loading popover, click the
Reload data button,
