This article describes how you can add your own sample analysis files under "Samples" in Spotfire.

When users login to TIBCO Spotfire Analyst, the default four tabs available are: Recent Analyses, Recent Data, Add Data and Samples.

To use your own sample files in the fourth tab "Samples" , follow the steps below:
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1. Place your own example files (maximum 6 dxp files) in Spotfire Analyst installation directory under Sample Files_XXXXX folder.

            Example: C:\Program Files (x86)\TIBCO\Spotfire\7.0.0\Modules\Sample Files_18.10.8513.5432.

2. Open file "SampleFileConfiguration.xml" under the above folder.

3. Replace the following tags: <sampleFile>Configuring Advanced Visualizations.dxp</sampleFile> with your own example file name.
            Example: replace above tag with (<sampleFile>Test_Data.dxp</sampleFile>), here "Test_Data.dxp" is the example file name.

4. Replace all these (6 tags)  <sampleFile> tags with your own example file names.
5. Save this file and restart the Spotfire Analyst.
6. Now you can see your own six example files under "Samples" tab.
