How to generate structure column when exporting

Purpose

The purpose of this functionnality is to reduce export time by limiting the list of complex columns to generate or to be able to generate the columns you can use to visualize the structure of molecules.

Operating Mode

The list of columns to generate can be set in two places: a default value set in global properties, and a per-document value set in the document properties.

Default columns to be created

Global properties

Open the Administration Manager (Tools > Administration Manager) and go to the Preferences tab. Here, set the default values for the GenerateXXX properties. These values will be used as default for all new LiveDesign Data Source.

Document properties

You can also specify export in a Spotfire template context, using custom document properties. By default, the document properties inherit from the global properties

Export specific columns using LiveDesign DataSource

If you want to override the list of columns to be generated when using a datasource, simply tick the columns you want on the configuration screen:

This configuration will be saved with the file. And if you reload the data, it will use these parameters.

Export specific columns using livedesign gadget

When opening a template from the LiveDesign Gadget, the list of columns defined in the Spotfire Template will be generated by default.

However, you can change manually override this setting in the gadget. Go to Settings, in the modal window, select the columns you want to generate then Apply.
