Downloading TIBCO Cloud™ Spotfire® Analyst

In TIBCO Cloud™ Spotfire®, at least one user is assigned an author seat. As an author, you have access to two authoring tools, the TIBCO Cloud™ Spotfire® web client, and TIBCO Cloud™ Spotfire® Analyst, an installed client. When you use TIBCO Cloud Spotfire Analyst, you have access to more features for creating advanced analyses.

About this task

You can use either client, TIBCO Cloud Spotfire Analyst or the TIBCO Cloud Spotfire web client, to create analyses for your own analytic purposes, or to share with end-users through the web client. See About users and roles for more information about the differences between the clients.

Before you begin

You must be logged in to your TIBCO Cloud Spotfire account.

Procedure

If you are working on an analysis, select File > View library on the menu bar.
In the navigation panel to the left, click on your username at the lower part of the panel.
In the My account page, click Downloads.

Note: A consumer user without any additional licenses or subscriptions will usually not have access to this tab.
Click Download for Windows.
The TIBCO Cloud Spotfire Analyst installer is downloaded to your computer.

What to do next

Run the file to install the TIBCO Cloud Spotfire Analyst client. Once installed, you log in using your TIBCO Cloud Spotfire credentials.

Note: Selecting the right server

When you start the Spotfire Windows application, make sure you log in to the right server. Depending on the TIBCO Cloud region you selected for your Spotfire subscription, you must log in to the corresponding server:

US, Oregon: https://spotfire-next.cloud.tibco.com/
Europe, Ireland: https://eu.spotfire-next.cloud.tibco.com/

If the server for your Spotfire region is not selected by default, you can add it from the Spotfire Windows application login dialog:

In the login dialog, click the Manage servers link.
If the Available Spotfire servers field does not show the correct server, click Edit.
In the Edit Server dialog, paste the server URL you want to log in to.
To save your changes, click OK.
