Select whether or not the Details-on-Demand should be open when creating a new analysis.

Data panel open by default for in-memory data

Select whether or not the data panel should be open by default when adding a new in-memory data tables. (The data panel is always open by default when adding in-db data tables.)

Select the check box if you want scroll bars in tabular visualizations to be displayed only on mouse-over. If you clear the check box, then scroll bars will always be shown in tabular visualizations where some of the content does not fit on screen.

Save to library

   Make overriding all in-memory data storage settings the default option

This setting specifies whether the "Override these settings and embed all in-memory data" check box in the Save as Library Item wizard should be selected by default or not.

Embedding all data may be useful if you are publishing analyses with in-memory data to the library and not all end users of the analyses have access to the original data source. See Preparing Analyses for TIBCO Spotfire Web Player for some useful tips.

Page navigation

Select whether to use Titled tabs, Step-by-step mode or no page navigation as default when creating a new analysis. See Pages and What is a Guided Analysis? to learn more about working with the different navigation modes.

   Titled tabs

Shows all pages as separate tabs, which can be dragged and dropped to change the order of the pages.

   Step-by-step

Shows all pages as numbered links to support a specific flow throughout the analysis.

   History arrows

Hides the page navigation, except for the page history arrows. Use this mode if you want to create your own flow throughout the analysis, by adding actions directly on the pages.

Default marking color

Select which color should be used for marked items as default.

This setting specifies whether or not filters should be created automatically for new in-memory data tables. In-database data tables are always managed manually.
