| Component | Description |
|---|---|
| Data Source | This is a connection to a database that provides all the data to make up your report. You will need to create a connection for each individual data source you wish to use for report creation. A data source may have many views, and many reports based on it. |
| View | Once you have created a data source connection you will need to create views based on it. A view is a metadata layer, between the data source and the report, which specifes the fields and logic required for users to build reports. A view may have many reports based on it. |
| Report | Once a data source connection and view have been defined a user can create a report based on them. A report is a combination of fields, formatting, and charts. A report can be used by many dashboard tabs and storyboards. |
| Dashboard | Once you have written some reports you can create a dashboard tab to display them for a consumer. Dashboard tabs consist of multiple reports displayed in a way that is easy for a user to read and understand. |
| Storyboard | Storyboards are a presentation within Yellowfin that allows you to combine fully functional reports with text, images, and videos. |
| Timeline | Timeline is a collaborative feed that allows users to interact with each other and events that have occurred in the system. |
