New mapping capabilities: World-class Location Intelligence has never been simpler
Yellowfin CEO, Glen Rabie, said that the most important innovations delivered in Yellowfin 7.1 were the unique enhancements made to Yellowfin’s mapping capabilities, which would make world-class Location Intelligence accessible to users of all types and organizations of all sizes.
“The ability to analyze organizational data from a geographical standpoint is critical, across all industries, because research indicates that 80 percent of business data is location-relevant,” said Rabie. “Despite this, the vast majority of organizations have struggled to source, collate and analyze the necessary location-based data to underpin location analytics. Yellowfin 7.1 changes that, delivering the Location Intelligence features required to quickly create beautiful enterprise mapping and a brilliant analytical experience.”
Yellowfin 7.1 introduces a native Base Layer for the world, geocoding functionality, demographic data support and auto-generated map-based visualizations. These improvements empower Yellowfin clients to easily combine existing business data with rich location-based third-party information.
Yellowfin’s native Base Layer allows users to immediately create multilayered maps without needing to source WMS layers. Instead of pulling a map layer from a third-party source – such as Google Maps, Yellowfin will use shape files to create an image (native Base Layer).
Yellowfin’s ‘GeoPacks’ will provide geographical and location-relevant demographic data, enabling users to combine that information with existing business data to create insightful location-based reports.
“Yellowfin 7.1 will ship with GIS records and geometry points, enabling users to geocode address data to zip code level on-the-fly – and render that information on maps with ease – to quickly produce stunning visualizations and actionable insight,” said Rabie. “Yellowfin 7.1 will automatically assign zip codes, latitude and longitude coordinates as well as polygons – where available – to address-level data, removing the need to source separate GIS records and geometry points.”
Yellowfin 7.1 will also ship with demographic data for key regions – including population, average household income, median age, employment information and more. These datasets will assist users to quickly detect correlations between existing business and spatially relevant third-party data.
Improved CSV support
The entire process for loading CSV files into Yellowfin has been streamlined and improved – from the creation of a target database to data preview.
New visualizations
Yellowfin 7.1 extends the Auto Chart functionality launched in Yellowfin 7, with 16 new chart types now supported by Yellowfin’s Auto Chart feature – including combination charts as well as maps. Auto Chart now supports over 50 best practice chart types and combinations.
