Yellowfin Signals requires a separate license. The specifications of the license will depend on the number of Signals users and the size of a client’s clustering infrastructure.
See our recommended server size for Yellowfin Signals in the server specification guide.
Although not required, we recommend deploying Yellowfin Signals in a clustered environment. To learn more about setting up a Yellowfin clustering infrastructure, see our guide here.
Ensure that you have the correct role functions enabled to use Signals. There are three types:
Role function | Description |
Signals Consumer | Allows users to receive and explore Signals. |
Configuration | Allows users to configure Signal settings in the View Builder. |
Distribute Signal | Allows users to share Signals. |
How to enable/disable these functions:
Once you have set up your system, you will be ready to use Signals. Here’s a quick overview of the steps that will be involved. Each of these are covered in detail in the following sections.
Update: The Signal analysis configuration process is no longer required to be initiated through the View builder. Analyses can be created directly from the main Signals module. |
During a Signal analysis execution, the data source row limit might be reached. In this case the system will send out a warning to let the user know that the analysis might not be accurate as not all data was analyzed.
