Bookmarks Pop-up Menu


Right-click on a bookmark to bring up the pop-up menu. You can always apply any bookmarks that are visible to you in an analysis, but whether or not you can add new bookmarks, or update, delete and otherwise modify existing ones depends on permissions defined by the creator of the analysis as well as your licenses. See Permissions to learn more.

Description

Apply

Sets the analysis to the state defined by the bookmark.

Apply Special

Allows you to apply only a part of a bookmark. Select one or more of the following parts:

Page Layout and Visualizations – Applies the same layout and setup of the visualizations as when the bookmark was captured. This includes all specified visualization properties. For example, selections on the axes of a visualization, coloring, formatting, and which visualization features are shown or hidden.

Active Page – Sets the active page to the page that was active when the bookmark was captured.

Active Visualization – Sets the active visualization to the visualization that was active when the bookmark was captured.

Filter Settings – Sets the filtering and filter types to those used when the bookmark was captured. You need to select Set all filters, Set only adjusted filters, or Mark filtered rows from the submenu. See below for a description of these alternatives.

Filter Organization – Sets the layout of the filters panel (sort order, filter groups, hidden filters) to the same as when the bookmark was captured.

Markings – Marks the items that were marked in the visualizations when the bookmark was captured. Note that you can only apply this part of a bookmark if you use the same marking in the visualizations as when the bookmark was captured.

Properties – Applies any editable document, data table, and column properties used on the active page, as well as any property values referred to in a property control.

Rename

Allows you to change the name of the selected bookmark.

Copy Bookmark URL

Allows you to copy and share URLs pointing to a specific bookmark state for an analysis. Select one of the link types listed below. See Links to Analyses in the Library for more information about the different link types. Note that Copy Bookmark URL is only available when the bookmark has been stored in the library.

   Direct TIBCO Spotfire URL

Copies the URL for the analysis at the state of the selected bookmark, so that a link can be used to open the analysis directly using TIBCO Spotfire Professional. Select this option if you want to send your insights to a fellow analyst working in TIBCO Spotfire.

   Web Player URL

Copies the URL for the analysis at the state of the selected bookmark, so that a link can be used to open the analysis using TIBCO Spotfire Web Player. Select this option if you know that your target audience all use TIBCO Spotfire Web Player.

   Redirect Page for Unknown Clients

Copies a link to a redirect page where the end users of the link can choose whether they want to open the analysis using TIBCO Spotfire Professional or the Web Player. Select this option if you do not know what type of clients are available for the audience of the link or if you do know that some of the people have access to TIBCO Spotfire Professional and some have only the TIBCO Spotfire Web Player. For example, use this option to publish a URL in a blog post which can be read by people from many departments and at different positions in your company.

Share

The Share menu allows you to quickly share your analyses with other people you are collaborating with. By default, you can share bookmarks to tibbr®, if your organization uses the tibbr product, but your company may also have added access to other collaboration tools.
