Question 1

Which Spotfire expression function returns the number of distinct values in a column within the current aggregation context?

Accepted Answer

UniqueCount()

Answer

UniqueCount() is Spotfire's built-in aggregation function that counts only distinct (non-duplicate) values in a column.

Question 2

In Spotfire, what is a 'Bookmark' primarily used for?

Accepted Answer

Saving the current state of filters, markings, and visual settings for later recall

Answer

Bookmarks capture the full interactive state of an analysis—filters, markings, zoom levels—so it can be restored instantly.

Question 3

Which Spotfire Server component is responsible for authenticating users against LDAP or Active Directory?

Accepted Answer

Authentication module configured in the server configuration tool

Answer

Authentication against external directories like LDAP or Active Directory is configured through the Spotfire Server's authentication module in the server configuration tool.

Question 4

A Spotfire action control is set to run an IronPython script on click. Where must this script be saved to be accessible across the organization?

Accepted Answer

In the Spotfire Library as a shared script

Answer

Scripts intended for organization-wide reuse must be stored in the Spotfire Library so they can be referenced and shared across analyses.

Question 5

What does the 'OVER' clause accomplish in a Spotfire custom expression?

Accepted Answer

Defines a grouping context for aggregation independent of the visualization's axes

Answer

The OVER clause lets you specify a custom grouping (e.g., OVER ([Category])) so the aggregation runs over that group rather than the visualization's default axis grouping.
