Integration
Embedded Reporting should be dead simple – and with Yellowfin’s integration options it is.
Yellowfin makes it so easy for you to embed world class Business Intelligence into your application. With multiple integration choices and little effort you can start delivering awesome reporting to your customers today.
How will Yellowfin help you?
Web Service Integration
Integrating Yellowfin into third-party applications is easy with Webservices. These are offered as SOAP services, allowing integration into any programming language that supports the generation of functional stubs of WSDL. With our webservices you can control and manipulate groups and users, or run reports remotely. If you want to see these in action for yourself try our iPhone or iPad apps which use all of our web services. Yellowfin has been integrated into applications using the following technologies:
- Java
- C Sharp
- Visual Basic
- ASP
- Cold Fusion
- C++
- Ruby
- Python
- Perl
Javascript API
Our Javascript API lets you embed fully interactive live reports and dashboards into external websites. All you need to do is add small snippet of YouTube like code to a static or dynamic HTML page. The Javascript API can also be used in conjunction with webservices to embed into third-party web applications. Check out the dashboard example at the bottom of this page.
Custom Styling
Yellowfin can be completely rebranded and restyled, and for multi-tenancy each client can be styled seperately too.
Through the use of configuration options, cascading style sheets and image replacement, Yellowfin can be styled and re-branded to have the same look and feel as your existing application. In addition to this, navigation bars can be optionally hidden to allow operation within your application’s frameset.
Security Integration
Yellowfin has a plug in mechanism that allows you to code your own custom solution for authentication and course-grained authorization, without changing the Yellowfin application or affecting your Yellowfin support. Integration with any external authentication and role based authorization mechanism such as LDAP, Active Directory or custom Security API’s can be achieved with little effort.
Migrate legacy Jasper or Birt Reports
Ok so you love Yellowfin but you still have some Jasper or BIRT reports you want to continue to offer. After all there are times you want a pixel perfect report - No Problems. Yellowfin allows you to embed either Jasper or BIRT xml report definitions that run within our UI. Simple and painless migration.
We’re passionate about Yellowfin, and are always looking to create new functionality to benefit you. Get started now!
