Page History

This is a space to display multiple reports and charts in one place, allowing for interactive features to be used across them all at once.
See Dashboard for more information

This is where the data for your reports is stored, called a Data Source within Yellowfin.
See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Database for more information

This is the database Yellowfin retrieves results from. Administrators create a Source Connection in order to access the data.
See Data Sources for more information

This is a sort option that moves from largest/highest to smallest/lowest value. This means that numeric values are sorted 9-0 and letters are sorted Z-A.

A standard field in Yellowfin can either be classified as a Metric or Dimension. All text fields are automatically classified as Dimensions. The View Builder allows you to define numeric and date fields as Dimensions in order to be used in Drill Hierarchies, and limit the aggregations available to Count and Count Distinct.
Dimension fields retrieve the data that will provide the basis for analysis in a report. Dimensions typically retrieve character-type data (employee names, company names, etc.), or dates (years, quarters, etc.)
See View Builder - Field Types for more information.

This is a stand-alone comment thread that allows users to discuss general topics and decisions while referring to multiple pieces of content if required.
See Discussion Streams for more information.

Yellowfin content can have two possible states: Active and Draft.
If the piece of content is currently being created or edited by a user, then the report will be in Draft mode. This means that other end users will not be able to see or use the content until the editing process is completed by Activating the content.

Drill refers to the action performed by a user by clicking on a hyperlink in a report that either steps into more detail in the same report, or opens a separate detail report related to the row that was selected.
There are three forms of Drill available in Yellowfin; Drill Down, Drill Anywhere, and Drill Through.
See Dashboard Drill Analysis for more information.

This drill allows you to move up and down a hierarchy that is defined by the user during the drill process.
See Drill Anywhere Reports for more information.

This drill allows you to move up and down a predefined hierarchy within a single report.
See Drill Down Reports for more information.

This drill allows you to click on a row in a summary report and open a related detail report, filtered by what made the row in the summary report unique.
See Drill Through Reports for more information.

These are rows with the same values across all columns in a result set. By default, Yellowfin applies DISTINCT to the SELECT SQL statements it generates, meaning that duplicate rows are not displayed. This can be changed on the Report Data page of the Report Builder.
See Report Data for more information.

This is the inclusion of Reports, Charts, and Dashboards in an external webpage using the Javascript API.
See Javascript API for more information

This is a function that takes something outside of the system. There are two types of export in Yellowfin:
