Quick Tips on Asking Community Questions

Dear Spotfire Community User. Below are some quick tips for asking questions and maximizing the likelihood of a rapid and correct answer. 

• Keep it short, clear, and specific.
• Avoid assuming prior knowledge.
• Include reproducible examples:  datasets or Spotfire files.
• Don't share sensitive information publicly.
• Specify tools, versions, and environment.
• Search before posting.
• Provide feedback on the suggested answer.
• Use separate questions for follow-ups.

Doing the above will make your question clearer and more likely to get a response. Remember this is a community site: busy people are volunteering their time. Make it count.
