What’s new in Yellowfin 9.17
Yellowfin 9.17 makes analytics feel more conversational, more flexible, and easier to use in the moments that matter.
New Feature Highlights
Yellowfin becomes context aware
The NLQ interface has been redesigned to support a smooth, chat-style experience where previous questions and answers stay visible on screen. Ask a question, get a result, then follow up without repeating context. Everything you explore stays in a View, and you can open any answer into a report, add it to a Story, Dashboard, or Presentation.
More capable & flexible
- Answers retain context, so follow-ups like “what about last quarter?” work naturally
- Switch visualizations on the fly without losing context
- NLQ is now fully responsive, adapting to screen size and browser resizing
Expanded model support
The NLQ backend is now connected to the latest models from OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, and Azure, enabling more complex questions and richer output than before.
Responsive UI (Phase 1)
With 9.17, Yellowfin begins the rollout of a responsive user interface across key parts of the platform. The goal is simple: analytics should remain usable and clear regardless of screen size.
In this release, responsiveness has been introduced to the top navigation, Browse page, NLQ interface, Stories page, and their associated pop-up windows. Layouts adjust automatically to fit smaller viewports, collapsing menus where needed and preserving functionality without clutter.
Better report control and interactivity
Reports in 9.17 give you more control without adding complexity. Fields can now be marked as always included, on by default, or off by default. A new column picker lets you choose which columns are visible and reorder them directly in the report output.
Additional improvements across the platform
Yellowfin 9.17 includes performance optimizations to support environments with thousands of client organizations, expanded import options in both the UI and REST APIs, and a new SSO session option that allows users to be redirected to a specific URL after login.
Together, these changes make analytics feel more natural, more flexible, and better suited to how people actually explore and discuss data.
