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:
In the TIBCO Spotfire installed client, go to Tools > Administration Manager.
Select "Groups and Licenses".
Choose the group that the user belongs to.
Select Licenses > Edit.
Enable "TIBCO Spotfire Business Author".
Log out and log back in to have the license changes be activated.
