Exploring linked signals

Signal charts added to a Story can be explored via an Explore button below such charts. Click on the Explore button to open the linked Signal. 

Note: Users must have Yellowfin Signals for this button to appear.

If a Signal is deleted after its chart is added to a story, the Explore button will no longer appear, even though the chart is still displayed in the story.

Interacting with reports

Readers can interact with live reports embedded within a published Story. Depending on the features of the report, readers are able to:

  • Open the published report page.
  • View applied filters within the Story or apply filters via the published report page.
  • Click on one or many chart elements to view their values.
  • Apply any drill options within the Story or via the published report page.

The following steps summarize an interaction with a report in a Story.

    The report menu toolbar is displayed in the top right-hand corner of the report visualization

  2. Hover your mouse over the Filter  tool
