Page Comparison

Overview

Using the Javascript API, Yellowfin Reports and Dashboards can be embedded into external webpages, which can be hosted on a seperate web server to Yellowfin. The only requirement is that the end user's browser can access the Yellowfin server.

The HTML page can include multiple reports, however each separate report may only be displayed once on each page. Note: multiple dashboards on a single page are not currently supported.

...

The embedded dashboard contains a Title Bar for the entire dashboard, and then each of the dashboard reports (displayed the same as embedded reports), laid out the same way as they are when viewed through the Yellowfin front end.
Note: dashboard filters and KPI dashboards are supported.

...

Using the Share menu, copy the Embed Javascript, which identifies the report to load, for use in your HTML page, wiki, or blog. It will take a form similar to this:

<script src="http://reporting.example.com/JsAPI?reportUUID=e5e5aaf3-c3b8-4f9b-8280-e21e4d848e63&width=500&height=500" type="text/javascript"></script>

...

Using the Distribute menu, copy the Embed Javascript, which identifies the dashboard to load, for use in your HTML page, wiki, or blog. It will take a form similar to this:

<script type="text/javascript" src="http://reporting.example.com/JsAPI?dashUUID=3b0b6c9a-9dfb-41f0-b85a-eb17bb8aeeb9"></script>

...

When a user enters their Yellowfin username and password to log in to the Javascript API, a cookie is stored in their browser to remember the user they logged in with. The next time they visit a page that includes a report or dashboard embedded using the Javascript API, they will automatically be logged in again using the same user. This prevents users from needing to enter their details every time they request a report or dashboard. By default, the cookie is valid for seven days from the last time the user logs in. This period can be changed by setting the External API cookie timeout value in Administration > Configuration > Email. To disable the cookie altogether, set the value to 0.

Note: the cookie value is stored in the browser is encrypted. The cookie will not work across a restart of Yellowfin (i.e. when Yellowfin is restarted, all users will be required to log in again).
