Get StartedYellowfin Data Preparation
For any analytic project to be successful, you need your data to be ready for analysis. Yellowfin Data Preparation has everything you need to connect to, or extract data, from all your data sources and prepare your data for analysis, both manual and automated.
Simplify Data Complexity
The Yellowfin Metadata Layer is the foundation for Self Service.
Getting your meta-data layer right is a key step to enabling business user self-service, generating automated analysis and speeding up the creation of all of your content. Creating a great metadata layer is the cornerstone of a great analytics experience for all your users.
Model Data
Hide your data complexity
Your users will never need to know your table or join logic. Create an entity model to define all the joins and logic required to generate the correct database query when creating new reports. Simply drag on existing tables or for advanced SQL create virtual tables in your model.
Business Friendly
Language the business can understand.
Enable self service reporting by organising and creating business friendly terms for your fields. Simply give your field a good business name, provide a description and add your fields into logical folders to assist all your users to create the analysis they need.
Streamlined
Speed up content creation with default formatting.
Small things make a big difference. Define the defaults for all your fields, like decimal places, cases or date formats and save a ton of time when creating visualizations and dashboards.
Secure
Easily secure your data.
Ensure your data is secure by defining access filters for row level security or allocate field permissions that determine which users have read / write access to those particular fields.
Automate
Instant analytic automation.
With a flick of the switch your metadata layer enables advanced functionality like automated business monitoring with Yellowfin Signals, automated root cause analysis with Assisted Insights, and self service BI with Yellowfin’s Guided NLQ.
