Performance

Option

Description

Default Cache Period (Hours)

Used to store queried data in a cache and reused by multiple report users. If the data in your source system is not time sensitive then you can set the cache time to be high and limit the impact of report users on the source system.

View Row Limit

You can set the maximum row to be returned for any report written from this view.

Optimise View

When enabled this will mean that Yellowfin will only include tables in report SQL that are being used within the report, or are set to Mandatory.
For example, say a user creates a report with fields from table A and C, and table B is used to join A and C together. Yellowfin will include tables A, B, and C in the report query and will ignore any other tables in the View.
If disabled, Yellowfin will include every table added to the View as part of the Report SQL.

Filter Text Suggestions

If enabled, this will allow certain fields to use the 'Filter Text Suggestions' functionality. See Field Access & Usage for more information.
