Data marking is the process of selecting items or rows in a visualization to view details or manipulate them. In a map chart visualization, data marking can be applied to two layers: the marker layer and the feature layer. The marker layer displays data points as markers or pies on the map, and the feature layer displays geographic features such as countries, regions, or states. Both layers allow data marking by clicking or dragging on the map, or by using axis marking on the scale labels. The map layer, the theme layer, and the image layer do not support data marking, as they are used to display the background map, the color scheme, and the custom images respectively.Reference:

One way to edit a text area is to click on theEdit Text Areabutton, , in the text area title bar.This will open the Text Area editor, where you can type text, or add any type of dynamic controls by clicking on the corresponding button in the text area toolbar1.You can also right-click on the text area and selectEdit Text Areafrom the pop-up menu2.Reference:How to Use the Text Area,Text Area Pop-up Menus

A data function is a reusable calculation that can be applied to data in a Spotfire analysis. A data function can have input and output parameters that define how the data function interacts with the data and the analysis. The input parameters specify what data or values are required for the data function to run, and the output parameters specify what data or values are returned by the data function.The types of input or output parameters for a data function are1:

Column: A column parameter represents a single column of data from a data table. A column parameter can be used as input to provide a vector of values to the data function, or as output to create a new column in the data table or overwrite an existing column. A column parameter can have a data type such as real, integer, string, or boolean.

Document property: A document property parameter represents a value that is stored in the analysis document and can be used to control various aspects of the analysis, such as filters, markings, colors, etc. A document property parameter can be used as input to provide a scalar value to the data function, or as output to create a new document property or overwrite an existing document property. A document property parameter can have a data type such as real, integer, string, boolean, date, or time.

Value: A value parameter represents a scalar value that is entered by the user or calculated by the data function. A value parameter can be used as input to provide a constant or variable value to the data function, or as output to return a single value from the data function. A value parameter can have a data type such as real, integer, string, boolean, date, or time.

The other options, column property, table, and visualization, are not valid types of input or output parameters for a data function.Reference:

According to the official documentation, there are four levels of permissions that can be set for a folder in the library: Access, Browse + Access, Browse + Access + Modify, and Full Control12. Therefore, the options A (Access) and C (Modify) are not valid permission levels by themselves.Access only allows the user to execute information links in the folder, but not browse or open the contents1.Modify is not a standalone permission level, but a part of Browse + Access + Modify, which allows the user to modify and save items in the folder1.Reference:1: Setting Folder Permissions - TIBCO Software1,2: Permissions - TIBCO Software2

The Spotfire.Dxp.Application.Visuals namespace contains classes used to configure visualizations and text areas in a page1. These classes include the abstract base class Visualization, which represents a common base for all visualizations, and its derived classes, such as BarChart, BoxPlot, MapChart, ScatterPlot, etc. Each visualization class exposes properties and methods to access and modify the settings and data of the visualization, such as axes, colors, shapes, filters, markings, etc. The Spotfire.Dxp.Application.Visuals namespace also contains classes for text areas, which are used to display text, images, or HTML content on a page, and classes for various components of visualizations, such as axes, legends, reference lines, etc.Reference:
