Course Overview: This course is not a ‘basic’ training course. Although the training assumes no prior experience or knowledge of Spotfire, it delves deeply into visualization properties and complex interactive features. General guidelines for when to use which visualization is provided for the most common visualization types. The course also covers the wide variety of data access options available to users, and since Spotfire documents may save links to the data supporting an analysis or may embed data within the document, these saving options are thoroughly discussed. Finally, the course shows how to export data or images to Microsoft® Excel®, Microsoft® PowerPoint®, PDF, or web-compatible file types.
