Modifying an Information Link 


If you have Browse + Access + Modify permission to a folder, you can edit existing information links in that folder.

  1. In the Elements tree, double-click on the information link you wish to edit. 

    Response: The content of the information link is opened in a new Information Link tab.

  2. Edit the link in the Information Link tab by adding or removing elements or by changing the filtering or prompting for a column.

  3. Open the modified link by clicking Open Data or save it by clicking Save.

    Comment: Replace the old information link by choosing the same name and folder location as the old link. Type a new name (or put the link in another folder) to keep both the old and the modified information links.

Note: Some characters are forbidden in the element names and file system of TIBCO Spotfire 3.0 and forward: /\*"?:<>|

Old information models with element names containing these characters can be imported. However, you cannot edit and resave elements using their old names if they contain forbidden characters.
