The example scriptlet above will render a report within the enclosing page. If the user does not have a current session on the instance that the embedded report is coming from, the user will be prompted to log in unless the Guest User login (http://wiki.yellowfin.com.au/display/yfcurrent/Guest+Users) is is enabled and the displayed content is not secured. For more details, see the User Access (http://wiki.yellowfin.com.au/display/yfcurrent/JavaScript+API#JavaScriptAPI-UserAccess) section below.
If the embedded report is being used on a dynamic page or portal, a SSO (link to Single Sign On page from webservices) can can be used to to automatically log the user in automatically , using Yellowfin's LOGINUSER web service. The token is appended to the URL (how to use the token with JavaScript API link).
The widget that is embedded cannot be greatly styled or modified. A compromise needs to be made between ease of integration with the JSAPI with limited customizability or complex integration using the Report Service API (Reporting webservices link) with unrestricted customizability. More details: Limitations (http://wiki.yellowfin.com.au/display/yfcurrent/JavaScript+API#JavaScriptAPI-Limitations)Refer to the Limitations section below for more details.
Some third-party application implementations use a combination of Administration Service web services to return the available reports/dashboards for a user and render these for the user using the JavaScript API.
The HTML page can include multiple reports, however each separate report may only be displayed once on each page. Note: multiple dashboards on a single page are not currently supported.
