Description

In the TIBCO Spotfire installed client, the Cross Table column header pop-up menu includes "Mark values", "Sorting", "Header" and "Values". While opening the same file in TIBCO Spotfire Web Player would result in limited options, including only "Mark values" and "Sorting".

Issue/Introduction

This article explains why the Cross Table visualization column header pop-up menu has limited options in TIBCO Spotfire Web Player

Resolution

This is caused by the license "TIBCO Spotfire Business Author" not being enabled for the given users/groups. It is by design that the TIBCO Spotfire Consumer will have limited functionality. To enable those same features you can enable the TIBCO Spotfire Business Author:
  1. In the TIBCO Spotfire installed client, go to Tools > Administration Manager.
  2. Select "Groups and Licenses".
  3. Choose the group that the user belongs to.
  4. Select Licenses > Edit.
  5. Enable "TIBCO Spotfire Business Author".
  6. Log out and log back in to have the license changes be activated.
