Customizing the toolbar shortcuts for Spotfire Analyst and Web Player clients

You can define a default set of shortcuts for the toolbar in Spotfire Analyst and Web Player clients.

Before you begin

You need a cobranding.config file to work with. To create one, see Creating a cobranding.config file.

About this task

Procedure

If it is not already available in your cobranding package, create a defaultPreferences.json file to add preferences.

Edit the defaultPreferences.json file in a text editor, and add the toolbar shortcuts you want in the "ToolbarShortcuts" setting:


  "ToolbarShortcuts": [
    "Spotfire.ResetVisibleFilters",
    "Spotfire.ArrangeVisualizationsEvenly",
    "Spotfire.ScatterPlot3D",
    "Spotfire.VerticalLine",
    "Spotfire.DetailsOnDemandPanel",
    "Spotfire.Save",
    "Spotfire.Table",
    "Spotfire.Find",
    "Spotfire.Collaboration",
    "Spotfire.BookmarkPanel",
    "Spotfire.FilterPanel",
    "Spotfire.VisualizationProperties",
    "Spotfire.VerticalLine"
  ]

Note: For the full list of available toolbar shortcuts and their names, see the list under Preference descriptions > Application preferences > ToolbarShortcuts in the documentation for Spotfire Administration Manager.

Open the cobranding.config file in an XML or text editor.
Locate or add the setting defaultPreferences, and make sure it points to your preferences .json file.
```
<defaultPreferences>defaultPreferences.json</defaultPreferences>
```

Results

The set of shortcuts that you define in your cobranding package becomes the default toolbar layout for the Spotfire Analyst installed client, and the web clients. Users who want to add their own set of shortcuts can easily customize the toolbar in the Spotfire client.
