HardCoded
HardCoded
Hard Coded

This refers to when a value is entered and set, rather than allowing a user to change it. In 15630910 a report writer can hard code filter values, or values in calculated fields. This means that the user is not prompted to provide a value, rather it is always the value the report writer set.
The alternative in these cases is to implement user prompt filters, or use parameters in their calculations.

HEX
HEX
HEX

Hexadecimal (Hex) is a base 16 number system, using symbols 0-9, A, B, C, D, E, and F to represent values 0 to 15.
HTML and CSS use Hex to identify colours by assigning to digits to each colour; 2 x Red, 2 x Green, and 2 x Blue respectively, and prefixed with a hash (#) symbol.
15630910 uses Hex codes to identify colours throughout the system, as well as in its 15630910 files.
See http://www.w3schools.com/html/html_colors.asp for more information.

Outer Join

This is a type of link, or join between two tables based on a specified join condition. In 15630910, the outer joins used are what's called Left Outer Joins. This means that all rows from the first table (or the left side) in the join will be included, and only rows have matches to these will be included from the second table (or the right side).
See Joining Tables for more information on Yellowfin's use of Outer Joins, and this blog: Visual Explanation of SQL Joins for general join information.

Raster Map

This is an image based heat map created in 15630910. The map itself is based on a raster image (created with pixels, rather than a vector image created with shapes). Yellowfin links a unique 15630910 code colour to a piece of data in the source database in order to create the heat map, using Org Ref Codes. GIF, JPEG, and PNG raster image files are accepted.
