Overview
There are three types of tab available in Yellowfin; Standard, KPI, and Pre-Built.
Tab Type | Description |
|---|---|
Standard | These tabs have the broadest range of functionality available to them, including linked filters and series. The only reason you would not use a Standard Tab when creating a new tab is if you wanted to include a KPI Report on the tab. |
KPI | This tab type is only used if you want to include KPI Reports on your tab. The reason this is a seperate type is that some functionality is incompatible with KPI Reports, so the tab disables things like filters and linked series. |
Pre-Built | This is a tab that has been created by a user and is not currently displayed on your dashboard. This does not involve creating a new tab, just selecting an existing one to display. |
Adding a Pre-Built Tab
- To add a pre-built public tab, click Create in the main navigation bar, select Dashboard Tab and choose the Pre-built Tab option.
- You will now see a list of tabs available to you, similar to the Thumbnail view of the Browse page. Click on the tab you wish to add.
- On selecting a tab you will be returned to the Dashboard and shown a preview of the tab. To confirm you wish to add the tab to your dashboard, click the link at the top.
- You will now have added the tab to your Dashboard.
Note: you can only have one instance of a public tab on your dashboard.
Creating a Standard Tab
- To build a Standard Tab, click Create in the main navigation bar, select Dashboard Tab and choose the Standard Tab option.
- You will now see an empty Tab Layout display. From here you will need to locate the reports you wish to display on the tab and drag them onto the template.
Open the Report List panel on the left of the screen.
- Locate the Reports you wish to display on your tab and drag them into one of the 'Drag a report here' place holders.
- Add all the reports you wish to display, then close the Report List panel by clicking on the X in the top right corner. You will now see your reports displayed in the layout template.
Associated Reports
Dashboard Tabs can also contain links to relevant reports, rather than displaying them fully on the Dashboard Tab, much like Storyboard Slides can contain Associated Content. These reports are generally detailed reports that are too granular or complex for use on a Dashboard, rather providing additional, supporting information related to the Tab content.
In order to add Associated Reports:
- Locate the report you wish to add through the Report List panel on the left of the screen.
- Drag the report into the Associated Reports panel on the right of the screen.
Once added, you can view Associated Reports through the default location defined in Administration > Content Settings > Dashboard > Display Settings > Associated Reports Location

Creating a KPI Tab
This requires the same process as creating a Standard Tab, with two differences:
- Select KPI Tab from the Create Dashboard Tab menu
- Drag KPI Formatted tabs into the KPI Report panel in the tab. Standard reports can still be added to all the Drag a report here panels.
Creating Sub Tabs
Sub Tabs allow you to split the content of a tab across multiple layouts, while still sharing the same filter sets.
