Setting Filters using Query String Parameters (Webplayer)

Spotfire Configuration Blocks allows you to set filters, change document properties by passing values by using additional parameters to the url link

Examples:

Filter Apples from Sales table on the FruitMart analysis file

http://webplayer/ViewAnalysis.aspx?file=/FruitMart&configurationBlock=SetFilter(tableName="Sales",columnName="Fruit",values={"Apples"});

Filter Apples and Bananas from Sales table 

http://webplayer/ViewAnalysis.aspx?file=/FruitMart&configurationBlock=SetFilter(tableName="Sales",columnName="Fruit",values={"Apples","Bananas"});

Configuration Blocks are case sensitive when it comes to passing parameter values. Here are some (good and bad) examples:

• Spaces: tableName="Sales" vs tableName=" Sales "
• Quotes. For example, Outlook converts " to “, so better use notepad to construct your links: tableName="Sales" vs tableName=”Sales”
• Exact match: values={"Electronics", "Furniture"} vs values={"electroNics", "furniture"}

·        Note: parameters are case insensitive: TableName vs tablEName (both are OK)
