Debugging can be performed using the Chrome Developers Tools if you are using the web browser and running the Spotfire Business Author by pressing F12. If you are using the client (Spotfire Analyst) then press Ctrl+Alt+Shift+F12 or go to Tools > Developer > Developer Tools. If you do not see that option, enable it by going to Tools > Options > Application > Development > and tick the Show development menu checkbox.
