  • Tight Integration: This method embeds Yellowfin as a re-branded, tightly integrated portal. This is done by creating a seamless link between the parent application and Yellowfin, without making the end-user aware that they have navigated from the parent application to another. This involves customizing Yellowfin with the custom header and footer with links that navigate to the third-party application. The user will easily experience the full range of Yellowfin features within the external website.
  • Web Services: This method is used to manage communications between third-party applications and Yellowfin by using web services. Yellowfin provides a Java web service API for connecting to SOAP web services, but it is also possible to connect using any other programming language or environment. This method requires advanced developer knowledge, but provides flexible navigation.
  • JavaScript API: This method lets Yellowfin reports and dashboards to be embedded into an external web page using scriptlets. This method makes for a quick and easy way to integrate Yellowfin, without the need for advanced developer knowledge.
  • IFrames: Yellowfin widgets can be integrated into external interfaces using IFRAME. This provides for a seamless user experience with full Yellowfin functionality.
