Overview
DashXML is a Java web application that communicated with Yellowfin via Web Services. It can be deployed alongside Yellowfin, or on a separate server.The DashXML framework provides a method for creating dashboards that combine Yellowfin content and custom items without the need for programming. The dashboards are configured in a single XML document that describes each element on each tab as a widget. All layout and styling can be achieved via customised CSS.
Content Definition
Each dashboard available in the application is defined in a single XML file. This file is loaded at startup and the definitions are cached in memory whilst the application is running. Each dashboard is a single page with an arrangement of widgets, which can include reports, text, and filter widgets. Each dashboard is accessible via a separate URL in the web browser.
