Overview
To integrate any data science models into an instance of Yellowfin, you will first need to download and install a plugin for the modelling platform or format. These plug-ins connect models via the Advanced Function or Data Transformation features of Yellowfin.
Once you've installed the plugin, you can then configure Yellowfin so that it can effectively make use of the plugin.
