Dynamic Page Layout setup

-

Sometime Spotfire layout is too crammed to see the chart content legibly and it helps to see the page in a different perspective. This can be achieved with the help of Bookmarks and Action Buttons

 Step 1: Capture bookmarks of different Screen Layouts that you want to present to user. You can resize charts to highlights the ones you want to stand out.


** Do not delete charts, as bookmarks will does not recreate it. Only Resize the layouts

Step 2: In a Text area, Create Action Buttons/Link/Image and tie them to the corresponding Bookmarks-"Page Layout and Visualization" element.
** Remember Bookmarks capture a lot more information (Filters, Marking etc..), we only want to apply the Layout settings.

Step 3: That's it, you should be ready, test clicking on various buttons and see the screen layout change, giving importance to different charts as configured.
