Choosing a Method

Choosing one method over the other, depends on the user's requirements and technical abilities. The easiest way to incorporate Yellowfin content into a external portal is by embedding a JavaScript scriptlet. This allows including individual charts and reports into your environment. IFrames and Tight Integration are fairly simple methods, however each require at least basic style customization that matches the external portal. Web services provide the most flexible integration, but also requires that the users possess advanced developer knowledge.
