There are two styles of system navigation available in Yellowfin; Left Side Navigation, and Toolbar Navigation. The option used within your system is defined by an Administrator on the Configuration page.

 

This navigation style was introduced in Yellowfin 7.2 as an alternative to the traditional toolbar. Main system areas are able to be accessed via the collapsible panel on the left of the page, outside of Yellowfin builders such as Report, Storyboard, and View Builders.

...

The Search allows you to locate content, such as Reports, Dashboards, Storyboards, displaying results on the Browse Page.
