TIBCO Spotfire® Server and Environment - Installation and Administration

Spotfire Advanced Analytics license

The Advanced Analytics license controls access to additional analytic features such as custom expressions, the box plot visualization, various statistical features, and advanced aggregation methods. Most users of Spotfire Analyst will need this license as well as the Spotfire Analyst license.

Feature Provides permission to
Create Box Plot Create a new Box Plot visualization.
Advanced Aggregation Methods Access more aggregation methods, in addition to the standard Sum, Average, Count, and Unique Count.
Custom Expressions Access the Custom Expressions option on the column selectors.
Set Column From Marked Access the Column from Marked option on the column selectors.
Line Similarity Access the Line Similarity tool.
K-Means Clustering Access the K-Means Clustering tool.
Hierarchical Clustering Use hierarchical clustering.
Data Relationships Access the Data Relationships tool.
Curve Draw Add a curve to a visualization by entering an expression for the curve.
Curve From Data Table Add a curve to a visualization by importing it from a data table.
Straight Line Add a Straight Line Fit to visualizations.
Polynomial Curve Add a Polynomial Curve to visualizations.
Logistic Regression Curve Add a Logistic Regression Curve to visualizations.
Power Curve Add a Power Curve to visualizations.
Gaussian Curve Add a Gaussian Curve to visualizations.
Logarithmic Curve Add a Logarithmic Curve to visualizations.
Exponential Curve Add an Exponential Curve to visualizations.
Register Data Functions Create, edit, import, and export data functions and expression functions that are in the Spotfire library. Specifically, users can:
  • Register new data functions.
  • Edit existing scripts, including data function parameters and output.
  • Refresh data functions and expression functions.
  • Delete data functions and expression functions from the library (if they are not embedded in an analysis).
  • Synchronize data functions.
  • Add data tables, and then add data function transformations to that data table.

If this license feature is not granted, the Tools > Register Data Function and the Data > Data Function Properties menu items are not available in the Analyst client. Without this feature, users cannot create, edit, or delete data functions or expression functions.

Even if users do not have this feature, however, their existing analyses that contain predicted columns will continue to function and update based on the data as necessary. (That is, the underlying data functions continue to work.)
Note: This feature should be granted in conjunction with the Execute Data Functions feature, so that users can test (execute) as well as register data functions and expression functions. If you do not enable this feature, you should not enable the Predictive Modeling and Insert Predicted Columns features.
Execute Data Functions Create, edit, run, and remove data functions and expression functions. Specifically, users can:
  • Edit existing scripts, including data function parameters and output.
  • Specify whether to run data functions locally or on a server with TIBCO Spotfire Statistics Services
  • Access and change settings for the type of data used by data functions.

If this license feature is not granted, data functions cannot be accessed from the Files and data flyout, and the Settings button in the Data > Data Table Properties dialog is not available.

Even if users do not have this feature, however, their existing analyses that contain predicted columns will continue to function and update based on the data as necessary. (That is, the underlying data functions continue to work.)
Note: If you do not enable this feature, you should not enable the Register Data Functions, Predictive Modeling, and Insert Predicted Columns features.
Predictive Modeling Create, edit, and manage Regression and Classification Models.

Even if users do not have this feature, however, their existing analyses that contain results from the predictive modeling tools will continue to function and update based on the data as necessary. (That is, the underlying data functions continue to work.)

If this feature is enabled, you should also enable the Register Data Functions and Execute Data Functions features.

Insert Predicted Column Use predictive models in analyses to add predicted columns to data tables.

Even if users do not have this feature, their existing analyses that contain predicted columns will continue to function and update based on the data as necessary. (That is, the underlying data functions continue to work.)

If this feature is enabled, you should also enable the Register Data Functions and Execute Data Functions features.
