Comment: Migration of unmigrated content due to installation of a new plugin

Yellowfin contains functionality that works with the Client Organisation structure called Client Source Substitution. This means that , coupled with Primary Organisation content sharing, users can view the same content across separate Client Orgs, while viewing results corresponding to their own Data Source Connection.

The Data Source Connections will need to point to different Databases, but they should contain the same table schema.

    Note: This toggle will only appear if the Access Filters functionality is switched on.

Each time a user views content from the Primary Org based on this connection, they will see their own data, rather than that specified by the Primary Org.

Views belong to the Organisation they were originally created in. Views created at the Primary Organisation, like other pieces of content, will be accessible for use at the Client level. Clients are not able to edit content made at the Primary Level.
