🥊Editing +1 person at the same time🥊

Hello! 🙋

When I am editing a Spotfire project online (on a server) and another user open it with editing permissions, can I set up a warning message so we don't "overwrite" other's changes.

Or is there a system to handle this? I've seen View > Collaboration, but it's only for "chatting" with other users in the project.

THANKS!!

Hello,

There is currently no functionality for this but there is a quite popular idea for it that I recommend you to vote/comment on in the TIBCO Ideas Portal:

Lock DXP for Editing

Note that Library version history, introduced in version 12.0 (https://community.spotfire.com/s/article/What-s-New-in-TIBCO-Spotfire-12-0-LTS), helps a bit, as that allows for multiple versions of an analysis to exist..

Hi @Fredrik Rosell​ 

Nice, I ll do it! Thank you.

I found this:

https://www.tibco.com/resources/on-demand-webinar/spotfire-12-webinar-series-library-version-history

Anyways, do you recommend me some way to make a message to alert everyone of this? So when someone open it, they can read "Caution! Maybe someone is editing this file and if you save it you can overwrite his changes"

I suppose it will be a text area, but is there any way to set that as the first page to be opened?

Thanks!!

Hello again,

No, I'm afraid I have no good suggestion for how that could be handled (well) today, using the currently existing functionality (but maybe someone else in the community will).

Simply figuring out/defining what it means that someone else is actively using/editing the analysis (in Analyst) may not be trivial. If you are interested in pursuing it, I would recommend reaching out to the TIBCO Professional Services Group: https://www.tibco.com/services/consulting
