Replace Data Table

You can replace the contents of a data table with the contents of an SBDF file stored in the library, or, with a prompted information link.


Replace Data Table with Information Link
For an information link, you can specify parameters for the information link to filter by. For example, you can set the task to show only the column values that are greater than a specified value, or the values between two specified values.
Option Description
Data table to replace Specify the data table that you want to replace with an information link.
SBDF library path Indicates the path to the selected SBDF file in the library. Click on the button next to the field to browse for a file.
Information link Indicates the path to the selected information link. Click on the button next to the field to browse for an information link.
Note: The information link must have prompts in order to be useful. If you want to use parameterized information links instead, you can specify that in a configuration block when you open the analysis from the library; see Open Analysis from Library. To learn more about using information links, see the Spotfire Analyst help.
