Description |
Visible
data tables, groups and filters |
This list shows all filters, groups and data tables in the document. The check boxes can be selected to show/hide the filters from the filters panel. The order of the filters in this list also represents the order they occur in the filters panel. Note: When filters are hidden, any filtering done prior to hiding the filter will remain for Web Player users, even if they do a filter Reset. However, Reset All Filters in TIBCO Spotfire Professional will reset all filters, including the hidden ones. |
