 imagine a store manager has access to his or her own store.. and can only view that data Step 1 -- create a information link that is NOT personalized and gets data for all stores.. so if you open this link it will show everything to everyone, lets say it has a column called as "store number". Step 2 -- Create an personalized info link that brings back list of stores current user has access too Generally this is will bring very small number of rows a Step 3 - In the analysis, add the first information link, Don't worry that at this point it is bringing all data. Step 3 -- Then do Insert column, select  from Information Link and select the link you created in step 2.

Blank Spotfire Library Web Page

Spotfire web player does not support compatibilty mode, and you may see blank pages when opening the spotfire library in your browser window. To ensure that the Web Player site is not being displayed in "Compatibility View". This is how you edit the Web Player server: On the Web Player Server: 1.      Start Microsoft IIS Manager. 2.      Click on the Web Player website. 3.      Open up the HTTP response header settings. 4.      Add a setting with name="X-UA-Compatible" and value="IE=edge" . Note: If the c ompatibility mode is disabled from the Web Player Server-side no action from the clients using the Web Player is required,  i.e., end users can continue using Internet Explorer with their standard configuration Please note this is solution to one of the causes and you may need to add the site to trusted zones or allow scripting depending on your infrastructure settings.

To do so 1) Right click on the feature layer 2) Drag any Label to a desired position 3) Repeat for other labels 4) Right click and uncheck Edit Label Positions Here is a video demonstrating this quick feature
