Setting the "Samples" tab in Spotfire Analyst with customized example dxp files.

This article describes how you can add your own sample analysis files under "Samples" in Spotfire.

When users login to TIBCO Spotfire Analyst, the default four tabs available are: Recent Analyses, Recent Data, Add Data and Samples.

To use your own sample files in the fourth tab "Samples" , follow the steps below:
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1. Place your own example files (maximum 6 dxp files) in Spotfire Analyst installation directory under Sample Files_XXXXX folder.

            Example: C:\Program Files (x86)\TIBCO\Spotfire\7.0.0\Modules\Sample Files_18.10.8513.5432.

2. Open file "SampleFileConfiguration.xml" under the above folder.

3. Replace the following tags: <sampleFile>Configuring Advanced Visualizations.dxp</sampleFile> with your own example file name.
            Example: replace above tag with (<sampleFile>Test_Data.dxp</sampleFile>), here "Test_Data.dxp" is the example file name.

4. Replace all these (6 tags)  <sampleFile> tags with your own example file names.
5. Save this file and restart the Spotfire Analyst.
6. Now you can see your own six example files under "Samples" tab.
