Size limit: 700 pixels in width.

Displays the report table. Fits the size, but can be scrolled horizontally and vertically.

Displays the report canvas. (Disabled by default, and only available if the added report has a canvas.)
Note that a canvas cannot be resized in a story. The maximum size that can be displayed in the story is a default fit of 700 x 600 pixels. Bigger canvases will be cropped out. (When resizing the canvas in the Report Builder, pointers will indicate the maximum size that can fit a story.)

Redirects you to the report output page, where you can edit the report and re-publish it. The changes will be reflected in a live report added to the Story. You can also use this to replace the report with a snapshot or bookmark, or add another artifact of the same report to your Story. Learn more here.

If you add a secure report that is inaccessible to all your readers, then that report will be hidden for them in the story, with a message notifying them of the reason they can't view the report content. See the example below:

External BI Content

You can incorporate reports from other reporting tools, such as Tableau, PowerBI, or Qlik, into your Yellowfin Story. This is done by providing a report link that embeds the report.

Note
titleImportant

Before you begin, ensure that you have a proper Yellowfin license that supports Stories and the external content add-on. Users who want to embed external reports, will also require an additional user role function, called External Content, enabled. 



Follow the steps below to add a report from external BI tools.

  1. Click on the plus button at the start of a new line. (Note if you do not see this button, simply click on a new line. The button will only appear if no text gets entered.)

  5. Then click Insert.

  6. Note: Ensure that you put the correct link for this to work. If you accidentally provide a link to a PowerBI report while choosing the Tableau option, an error will occur.

  7. Once the report appears on the screen, you can even resize it. To do so, hover over the report, and when the resize option appears at the bottom right of the report, click and drag it to change the size of the embedded report.
