My understanding of the "static theme" is that it just creates a standard MapInfo Pro individual value theme but instead of using a template for styles, it reads the styles already embedded in the .tab file data. I am not sure what it does with the case where records having the exact same attribute have different styles. Peter can probably tell us or I can try it and see.
However, this just means that once done it is just a theme and the map uploader will push those style and text settings to the server. Hopefully it is saved as the default theme so you don't need a workspace to get it back in the future.
Note that in version 18.2, we have made it much simpler to use custom image symbols. If you are using them, there is a server side configuration for where these symbol files should live.
Unlike the older versions, you do not have to bundle the images into a .jar file, you do not need to deploy that jar file in the Spectrum Spatial code folder and you do not need to restart Spectrum to have them picked up.
Font based symbols will just work if using the set installed by MapInfo Pro or you can add them to the server system as fonts just like you would on the desktop.

Hi!
We are having the same problem.
What to do with that StaticTheme next after we generated it? How do we get the legend to SSA?
Warmly
