Lock Table Headings

Specify if column and/or row heading should be locked when displayed on the dashboard.

Hide Dashboard Tab NavigationSpecify if dashboard tabs should be displayed above a dashboard. Enable this toggle to hide them.
Preserve Report Column Widths on DashboardsIf enabled, dashboards containing reports will preserve any pre-set column widths set within the report. If the total width of a table with pre-set column widths is greater than the width allocated on a dashboard, scroll bars will appear to scroll from side to side.
If disabled, dashboards containing  reports will automatically resize the column widths of a table so that it fits the allocated space on the dashboard., without needing scroll bars.
Enable Dashboard Footers for Static Layouts

Toggle this option on to enable dashboard footers (for static layouts only). These were available in Yellowfin 8, then suspended in Yellowfin 9.0. They were reinstated in Yellowfin 9.6. If you had previously configured a custom footer in an earlier version of Yellowfin, re-enabling this setting will re-enable your old custom footer for all dashboards.

If your Yellowfin deployment contains primary and client orgs, this setting can be applied individually to each org. When this setting differs between orgs, footer visibility may be affected. A primary org with footers enabled will display its dashboards with footers at primary orgs and client orgs. A primary org without footers enabled will not display any footers on its dashboards, even if the client org has footers enabled
