Filter based on username

[James S 2]

Hi There,

I have a spreadsheet loaded to spotfire. It includes a username column with different usernames. When the users log on to the webplayer version of the dashboard, I want each user to only see the rows that have their username listed in the user column.

Is this possible

 

Thanks!

Suggested approach: You can use a script to extract the user name and store it into a document property. Then use this property within your filtering scheme. 

 

I would ike to help more but I'm truley not an expert with scripts.

If you use Information Link, you an use %CURRENT_USER% on the username field. Then when the user launches the webplayer / consumer, they see only their name in the dxp.

Thanks - Is this possible to do when your data connection is an excel file
