Animation
Charts that are built with a date or datetime field available will have an Animation option displayed in the Chart Data area.
Unable to render embedded object: File (01animation.png) not found.
Animation uses a date field to slice up the chart into frames, much like a section slices up a table into sub tables. Simply select the date field, such as Year, as the animation field and Yellowfin will create a frame per year value. When you return to the report preview page you will be able to play the animation or step through using the navigation buttons.
It is also recommended that you change the Chart Title option to display the Animation Field, rather than the Report Name, in order to provide the report writer with a label for each frame.

Note: The animation option will only be available if a date field has been used in the report. It's also important to remember to use a date field that won't create too many frames, as animation is meant for high level data, like year rather than day.
