Adding Spotfire Automation Services instances
After installing and trusting a node manager, you can create the Spotfire Automation Services and add the number of instances of this service that you want to make available. Spotfire Automation Services can then be accessed on any computer in the network.
About this task

execute Automation Services jobs on the server, using the Job Builder or the
Client Job Sender, must be members of the group Automation Services Users.
