[ページトップ]
用語 |
説明 |
---|---|
有効化(Active) |
[Yellowfin]コンテンツは、有効化と[ドラフト(編集中)]の2つの状態のいずれかになります。 |
Admin |
システムを管理するユーザーです。一般に管理者は、[ソース接続]、 [ビュー]、および[レポートカテゴリー]を作成し、[ユーザー]、セキュリティ、ライセンスを含むすべてのシステムオプションを管理します。 その[ロール]権限は、最も制限が少なく、一般に使用可能なすべての機能へのアクセスが許可されています。 |
[レポート]内の[フィールド]に適用できる事前定義された計算です。それらは[SQL][クエリー]の一部ではないため、データベースから結果が返された後に実行されます。 |
|
集計(Aggregate) |
[Yellowfin]は、一意の各ロウ(行)(「重複レコードを表示」が有効な場合は繰り返しを含むすべてのロウ(行))を表示するのではなく、一意のカテゴリー(または組み合わせ)ごとに1ロウ(行)を表示します。広範な集計オプションから選択して、これを実行できます。たとえば、「[*合計*]」が選択された場合、Yellowfinは各ロウ(行)のすべての数値結果を合算(合計)します。「[*平均*]」を使用すると、Yellowfinは各ロウ(行)の平均メトリック値を表示します。 |
表示名(Alias) |
[ビュー][管理者]は、ビューの作成プロセスの第1ステップで、これを使用してテーブルに新しい名前を付けることができます。表示名は通常、1つのビューでテーブルの複数のコピーが使用される場合に使用されます。 |
分析フィルター(Analytic Filters) |
1つの[ダッシュボード][タブ]のすべてのレポートに適用される[ユーザープロンプト][フィルター]です。 |
[*注釈(Annotation)*] |
日付または日付範囲に付加されるイベントの説明で、[レポート]または[グラフ]、もしくは両方に表示されます。 |
昇順(Ascending) |
最小/最低の値から最大/最高の値へと並べかえるオプションです。つまり、[数値]は0~9の順で、文字はA~Zの順で並べかえられます。 |
この[集計]は、[NULL]値を無視して、メトリックの平均値を返します。 |
B

用語 |
説明 |
---|---|
This is a type of [フィールド] that does not come directly from the database. It is created from a formula that may use database fields. |
|
These are folders that are used to group content. [ビュー], [レポート], and [フィールド] all use categories, with Reports using a Category > [サブカテゴリー] structure to group and assign [セキュリティ]. |
|
A visual representation of data. Yellowfin has a wide range of chart types available. |
|
[*Client Organisations*] |
[Yellowfin] has functionality called Client Organisations which allows multiple virtual instances of Yellowfin to reside in the same server instance. This provides a way to create content isolated within one organisation, hidden from other organisation users logging into the same server. This is Yellowfin's [マルチテナント] solution. |
This is a report output option that allows metrics to be aggregated by multiple categories, displayed as Row and Column headers. |
|
This function allows you to display multiple [レポート] on the one Report Preview page. |
|
Collaboration |
This is when users work together to share insights into their data and the decision making process. Yellowfin provides features to assist the collaborative process including Comments, Discussions, and [注釈]. |
Comment |
This is a note attached to a [レポート] in order to discuss its design or results. |
This is formatting that is triggered when a condition is met. A rule is applied to a [フィールド] in the [レポート] and special formatting, such as highlighting, is applied if the data matches the rule. |
|
Condition |
This is a filter that limits the rows returned from a table, set at the view level. This filter cannot be seen or removed at the report level. |
This [集計] returns the total number of records in a [フィールド] in a [レポート]. |
|
This [集計] returns the total number of unique records in a [フィールド] in a [レポート]. This means that if a record is found twice, it will only be counted the first time. |
|
This method of linking two tables matches each row from the first table in the [結合] to each row in the second table, multiplying the number of rows returned in the result. |
|
Create, Read, Update, Delete. These options are used to define [ロール] permissions and relate to [SQL] statements, allowing the user to create (INSERT records), read (SELECT records), update (UPDATE records), and delete (DELETE records). |
|
[*CSS*] |
Cascading Style Sheet. This is a type of file used by [Yellowfin] to define style options for the system that cannot be configured through Administration. Yellowfin's CSS files can be customised during the integration process. |
[*CSV*] |
Comma Separated Values. These files store data in plain text form, with each value, or column, separated by a comma character. [Yellowfin] allows you to import these files in order to report off their data. |
D

用語 |
説明 |
---|---|
This is a space to display multiple [レポート] and [グラフ] in one place, allowing for interactive features to be used across them all at once. |
|
Database |
This is where the data for your reports is stored, called a [データソース] within [Yellowfin]. |
This is the database [Yellowfin] retrieves results from. Administrators create a [データソース接続] in order to access the data. |
|
Descending |
This is a sort option that moves from largest/highest to smallest/lowest value. This means that [数値] values are sorted 9-0 and letters are sorted Z-A. |
A standard field in [Yellowfin] can either be classified as a [*メトリック*] or Dimension. All text fields are automatically classified as Dimensions. The View Builder allows you to define numeric and date fields as Dimensions in order to be used in Drill Hierarchies, and limit the aggregations available to Count and Count Distinct. |
|
Discussion |
This is a stand-alone comment thread that allows users to discuss general topics and decisions while referring to multiple pieces of content if required. |
Draft |
[Yellowfin] content can have two possible states: [*有効化*] and ドラフト(編集中). |
Drill refers to the action performed by a user by clicking on a hyperlink in a report that either steps into more detail in the same report, or opens a separate detail report related to the row that was selected. |
|
This [ドリルl] allows you to move up and down a hierarchy that is defined by the [ユーザー] during the drill process. |
|
This [ドリルl] allows you to move up and down a predefined hierarchy within a single [レポート]. |
|
This [ドリルl] allows you to click on a row in a summary [レポート] and open a related detail report, filtered by what made the row in the summary report unique. |
|
Duplicate Records |
These are rows with the same values across all columns in a result set. By default, Yellowfin applies DISTINCT to the SELECT [SQL] statements it generates, meaning that duplicate rows are not displayed. This can be changed on the Report Data page of the Report Builder. |
E

A standard field in [Yellowfin] can either be classified as a Metric or [*ディメンション*]. Numeric and Date fields are classified as Metrics by default, but can be changed to Dimension if required. Metric fields have the full range of aggregations available to them. They also have different functionality available to them when used as filters. Metrics do not allow for prompts, as there are generally too many possible values available, so they have slider options available in order to allow users to easily define ranges. Metric filter values cannot be cached. |
|
This [集計] returns the smallest value found in the [フィールド]. |
|
Monochrome |
This is a colour setting available to [グラフ] which, instead of using the default colours defined in Report Styles, the chart uses different shades of one colour selected by the user. |
