Add Data Connection
From the File menu, select the Add Data Tables item.
In the Add Data Tables dialog, click the Add dropdown menu in the upper right corner. Select Database at the bottom of the menu.
In the Open Database dialog, select Odbc Data Provider, then click Configure.
In the Configure Data Source Connection dialog, select your DSN from the dropdown menu labelled System or user data source.
Fill in your MongoDB username and password and click OK.
The Open Database dialog should now display a connection string for your DSN. Click OK.
Specify Tables and Columns
Select the data you would like to work with from the available fields.
Give this data connection a name in the Data source name text box.
Note
The name you use here is only for the Spotfire application's use. It does not change the name of your ODBC System DSN.

The Add Data Tables dialog should now list your connection as ready for import.
Click OK.
You are now ready to add visualizations and analyze your data.
