The Spotfire database contains the Spotfire library. The library is accessible to Spotfire Analyst, and web clients through the Spotfire Server, allowing users to easily share and reuse their work.

The library stores Spotfire analyses, Spotfire binary data format files (SBDF), data functions, shared data connections (or connection data sources) created with Spotfire connectors, information links and data sources used by Information Services, and visualization color schemes.

The library is organized into hierarchical folders, which are also used to control access to folder content. The administrator creates the folder structure, and assigns groups with the appropriate read and write permissions to the folders.
