You can perform different tasks when redirecting a user to Yellowfin, such as suppressing the header, navigating to a particular report, displaying a particular dashboard, etc. This is done by defining user session options in the login token.

 

Session options can be passed in two ways:

  1. As part of a URL
  2. As part of a SSO call

 

Passing Session Options via URL

Pass session options through a URL. For example:

http://<yellowfin-server>/logon.i4?LoginWebserviceId=<token>&disableheader=true&entry=TIMELINE

With the inclusion of entry=TIMELINE, and disableheader options in the URL, the user will be taken to the Timeline page, and the Yellowfin header will be disabled, when they log in.

Passing Session Options as Part of a SSO Call

A Single Sign-On, or SSO, call (which includes LOGINUSER and LOGINUSERNOPASSWORD) can be used to pass sessions, by applying the setParameters() method.

For example:

String[] parameters = new String[] {"ENTRY=TIMELINE","DISABLEHEADER=TRUE"};

rsr.setParameters(parameters);

Similarly, in this example, the Yellowfin header will be disabled, and the user will be redirected to the Timeline page.

 

Available Session Options

Below is a list of key session options and their descriptions that you can use to pass through parameters or URLs:

This option can also be used with the JavaScript API.

REASONDESCRIPTION

reasondescription

Custom string (2048 ASCII characters) that will be dropped in all events generated by this session. Events are dropped in the Event table in the Yellowfin database.
This option can also be used with the JavaScript API.

DASHBOARDID

dashboardid

Used with ENTRY = EDITDASHBOARD or VIEWDASHBOARD. This is the internal ID of the dashboard tab to redirect to.

DASHBOARDUUID

dashboarduuid

Used with ENTRY = EDITDASHBOARD or VIEWDASHBOARD. This is the UUID of the dashboard tab to redirect to.

FILTER<ID>

filter<ID>

Used with ENTRY = VIEWREPORT. Overrides filter values for the given report. FILTER is appended with the internal ID of the filter, plus the string representation of the filter value. For example:
FILTER2134=MALE
You can pass multiple filters for the one report.

SOURCEFILTER_<FILTERCODE>

 

Overrides the source filter values for this user, for this session.
SOURCEFILTER_ is appended with the Filter Type Code from the Source Filter setup page, plus the value you wish to give access to. For example:
SOURCEFILTER_COUNTRY=AU
You can pass multiple source filter values for the one session.
This option can also be used with the JavaScript API.

CONTENT_<INCLUDE/EXCLUDE>

 

Overrides the content access that a user has for this session.

CONTENT_ is appended with either INCLUDE or EXCLUDE. The value for this key is either the Content Category Code, or the Content Category UUID.

  • If you choose to INCLUDE content, then these will be the only Content Categories that the user will have access to.
  • If you choose to EXCLUDE content, then these excluded Content Categories will be removed from the content that the user normally has access to.

Content Inclusion and Exclusion is based on the Category level. All sub categories with the specified category are included or excluded.
An example of including/excluding with category codes and UUIDs:
CONTENT_INCLUDE=TUTORIAL
CONTENT_INCLUDE=c83357db-8aef-4ec7-ab72-fce34de9ee77
CONTENT_EXCLUDE=TUTORIAL
CONTENT_EXCLUDE=c83357db-8aef-4ec7-ab72-fce34de9ee77
It is not logical to use both INCLUDE and EXCLUDE for the same session.
This option can also be used with the JavaScript API.
