Details on Save as Library Item


This dialog is displayed when you save a new item (for example, a data function, a data connection, a connection data source or a color scheme) in the library.

Note  You can save  an item to the library, but Spotfire Cloud Personal users cannot access or use data functions applied to Spotfire visualizations. You can run data functions only using the TERR engine installed with Spotfire Business Analyst.

Note: When analyses are exported to the library, thumbnails in the library are rendered with the default light theme, even if the dark theme is applied.

Note: The name can be 256 characters at most, and the following characters are not supported:

\ / : * ? " < >  |

Keywords (separated by semicolons)
