Page History

Select a navigation style to use within the system. The following are available:

• Left Side Navigation: the system navigation items will appear in a panel that can be expanded or collapsed on the left hand side of the page.
• Toolbar Navigation: the system navigation items will appear as links in the main navigation bar across the top of the page.

Select the location of the Create content button. This is only available when using Left Side Navigation (see Navigation Style option above).

• Left Side Navigation: the Content Creation options will appear in the Left Side Navigation panel.
• Top Right: the Content Creation button will be attached to the main navigation bar on the right hand side of the page.

Color Picker Standard Colours

Define the default colors to display in the color picker, along with the chart color defaults. There is room for six colors to be defined.

Base Tags

• Included: Base tags will be included in the HTML of every page. This can be useful for debugging purposes, but may cause issues if proxy servers or load balancers are in use.
• Excluded: Base tags will be excluded from the HTML of every page.
• Commented (default): Base tags will be included in the HTML of every page, but will be commented out. This can be useful for debugging purposes.

External Instance Base URL

Define the external URL used to access this instance. This should be a link all users can access. If an external URL is not set for a client org, it will revert to the primary org setting. It’s used for embed script links, direct links, and links sent via email. 

This field is useful for white label instances of Yellowfin. By default, embed links and JS API window object name use the text yellowfin which is visible to end users.

If you enter text in this field (eg, myCompanyName), the JS API window object name will use your text instead of the default yellowfin (eg, in the JS API window object name,  window.yellowfin would become window.myCompanyName).

If this field is left blank, the default text yellowfin will continue to be displayed in the JS API window object name and embed links.

External API cookie timeout

When using the Javascript API, a browser cookie is used to store the user's login details. Define the time, in seconds, the cookie is valid. Use zero to disable the cookie.

Outgoing Proxy Server

Define this if the Yellowfin server should connect to the internet via a proxy server. For example, when connecting to WMS servers.

Extended Logging

Enable extended logs - when an event is logged to the Event table, additional information such as names and descriptions of users, data sources, views, reports, or dashboards will be included. This can have an impact on performance.

Restricted Roles

Specify which roles can be hidden from specified Administrator roles.

Terms & Conditions

Provide business Terms & Conditions that a user must agree to before logging in to the system for the first time. (Optional)

Administration Tour

Select the storyboard to be used for guiding users through the Administration area. (Optional)

When enabled, a nonce is added to every request sent to Yellowfin, which is then validated by the server before the request can be processed. This will help prevent request replay attacks, or automated request submissions. When disabled, no nonce is added and requests will be processed without a unique token. Depending on your system security setup, this could result in processing duplicate submissions. See our hardening guide for more information.

Custom Parameters

These are used as part of the Link to URL function, allowing you to use a variable as part of a link in a field. Add the parameter key and value to define one.
