Copying URLs


Items in the library such as analysis files have a unique URL. By copying this URL and pasting it into a web browser, you can open that file in TIBCO Spotfire or perhaps save the file to disk.

Also, if you have a TIBCO Spotfire Web Player server connected to your library, a second URL is available for each analysis file. By copying this to a web browser, the analysis will be opened in the TIBCO Spotfire Web Player running in your web browser.

  1. Click on an analysis file to select it in the Library Administration window.

    Response: Under the Link to Selected Item heading,  a URL is displayed.

  2. Right-click on the URL and select Copy.

  3. Open a web browser and paste the URL into the address field.

    Response: The analysis is opened in a new instance of TIBCO Spotfire.

  1. Click on an analysis file to select it in the Library Administration window.

    Response: Under the Link to Selected Item heading, a Web Player URL is displayed.

  2. Right-click on the Web Player URL and select Copy.

  3. Open a web browser and paste the URL into the address field.

    Response: The analysis is opened in TIBCO Spotfire Web Player.

  4. To copy a URL for unknown clients:

If you want to send a link to a larger audience where you do not know whether they have access to TIBCO Spotfire or just the Web Player, you can use a link to a redirect page instead.

  1. Right-click on an analysis file or information link in the Library Administration window.

  2. Select Copy TIBCO Spotfire URL > Server Redirect Page for Unknown Clients from the pop-up menu.

    Response: A URL leading to a redirect page is copied to your clipboard. Here, each user can select whether to open the analysis in TIBCO Spotfire, TIBCO Spotfire Web Player or to Download the analysis file.
