What will you discover?
DashXML is a flexible framework that communicates with Yellowfin via a Web Services API to expose the functionality of Yellowfin’s BI platform – such as reports, filters and security capabilities – while simultaneously providing complete freedom regarding application design, layout and user interaction.
Why DashXML?
Until now, creating highly customized analytical functionality and applications was difficult. Application managers and developers had two choices.
Firstly, they could simply use an out-of-the-box BI tool, which limited their control over product design and user interaction. Alternatively, they used Open Source charting libraries to create a tailored charting experience, but lost the analytical functionality and security of an analytics platform.
The first option meant compromising on the uniqueness of the user experience, while the second required significant development work, resulting in lost time and money.
DashXML addresses both challenges.
DashXML empowers organizations to leverage the power of Yellowfin’s BI platform, which removes the need to build sophisticated BI functionality from the ground up, while simultaneously offering unlimited flexibility and control when it comes to design, layout and interactivity.
DashXML: Customized analytical functionality without IT programming
The DashXML framework provides a method for creating uniquely tailored dashboards that combine Yellowfin content and custom items without the need for programming.
Developers simply create the content and security permissions in Yellowfin, then configure and style the analytical functionality using DashXML.
Not only does DashXML make it quicker and easier to create customized analytical applications and deliver unique experiences for information consumers, the tailored reporting and analytics functionality gives Yellowfin clients and software partners the ability to expose new audiences to the power of BI, growing the potential number of BI users and use cases.
Custom dashboards created using DashXML are configured in a single XML file that describes each element on each dashboard tab as a widget. DashXML can be deployed alongside Yellowfin, or on a separate server.
