Introduction to the Spotfire Ideas Portal

Many of Spotfire product features started as suggestions from customers. Our product managers are often talking to customers and prospects to learn about your use cases and how we can make our product better suited to your needs.  The Spotfire Ideas portal complements in-person discussions by making it possible for you to share your product ideas directly with Spotfire product management at any time as well as discuss and vote on ideas submitted by others. By default ideas for all Spotfire products are displayed. To see only ideas for a specific product you can filter by product on the left-hand side of the screen. 

We can't promise that we will implement every idea but we commit to looking seriously at the top-voted items and make an effort to get them implemented if they fit with our overall strategy and product direction. Often we will also take inspiration from multiple ideas and design a solution that addresses the underlying need rather than just implementing a specific individual request. To see which Ideas on the Idea portal that have been implemented, please see this view that lists all implemented Ideas.

Product management will change the status of an idea to "Implemented" when the implementation is generally available in a new product version. We will also make an official comment that describes which version the idea was implemented in and if it isn't obvious we will make a note of how the idea was addressed and where to find more information. Any community user who subscribes to the idea will be automatically notified when the status of an idea changes or when a comment is made. The original idea creator as well as anyone who comments on the idea or votes on it will be automatically subscribed and thus be notified when something changes.

If there is something in the product that you care about that is not represented in the idea portal please create a new idea and describe it well. That will make it possible for others to see your idea and vote on it which will help raise its visibility with us. When you are creating, voting or commenting on Ideas always use your company email.

Note that the Spotfire Idea Portal is only intended for product ideas. For technical assistance and product issues, please continue reaching out to Spotfire Support.
