What do you want to do?

 

   Search for the missing file

Select this option to open the Search for Missing File dialog and automatically search for the file on your local computer or on the network.

   Browse for the missing file

Select this option to manually browse for the missing file. Use this option if the source file used by the linked analysis file has been renamed.

   Use the file found in the same directory as the analysis

Spotfire has found a file in the same directory as the analysis file with the same name as the linked source file. Use this option if you know that this is the file (if the file has been moved to this location).

   Open anyway (data tables based on the missing file will be empty)

Select this option to open the analysis and leave all data tables based on the missing source empty. However, the information about which columns were included in the data table is kept, which may help fixing the analysis if the data table is replaced at a later stage.

Apply to all missing files in this analysis

Select this check box to apply the selected solution to all missing files in the analysis.
