How to check preferences

Prev Next

The behavior of the Connector sometimes depends on the values that are filled in the Spotfire preferences by administrators during the installation. To better understand these behaviors it is useful to be able to access to these preferences.

To check the preferences applied to your user, in the Analyst go to Help > Support diagnostics and logging > Preferences.
In this tab there are two columns:

  • The Name column concatenates the section, subsection and name of a preference (Section.SubSection.PreferenceName). Note that in this documentation, when we refer to a preference, we ususally use only its name.
  • The Value column containing the value of the preferences for your user.
