Spotfire® Server and Environment - Installation and Administration

Administration interface introduction

The Spotfire Server start page provides access to most administrative tasks and diagnostic information on your Spotfire environment.

Depending on which groups you belong to, you might have access to all or some of the Spotfire Server web administration pages as well as analytics.
