There are many benefits in delivering Spotfire analyses to end users with direct access to the application, but this might not always be possible and you will need to export data or visualizations for consumption outside the tool. Users of the web player (Spotfire Consumer) might also want to export data for further analysis or copy visualizations into a report document.
Let's deal with that last requirement first. The Export dropdown in the web player menu provides a number of options:
Export the active visualization as an image.
If the active visualization is a Table, Cross Table, or Summary Table, export the data as an ASP.NET Web Handler (ASHX) file, which can be opened with Microsoft Excel or a text editor. Only the data displayed in the Table, Cross Table, or Summary Table visualization will be exported, not the entire data table.
Select PDF or Microsoft PowerPoint for further options.
