| 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. | ||||||
| This is where the data for your reports is stored, called a Data Source within Yellowfin. | ||||||
| This is the database Yellowfin retrieves results from. Administrators create a Source Connection in order to access the data. | ||||||
| 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. | ||||||
| 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. | ||||||
| Yellowfin content can have two possible states: Active and Draft. | ||||||
| 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. | ||||||
| This drill allows you to move up and down a hierarchy that is defined by the user during the drill process. | ||||||
| This drill allows you to move up and down a predefined hierarchy within a single report. | ||||||
| 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. | ||||||
| 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. |
