Yellowfin has the capability to render GIS data (points and polygons) into an image which can be overlaid with your report data. To enable GIS reporting you must have GIS data available in the databases you wish to query for reporting.
GIS from a Non-GIS Supported Database
Not all databases support GIS natively. However, Yellowfin can convert VARCHAR fields into polygons. So if your data base does not have a GIS field type you can still store your GIS polygons in that database as a VARCHAR.
This Section shows you how to format a field with a polygon stored as a VARCHAR.

GIS from a Supported Database
If your data source supports GIS columns such as MySQL, Oracle, PostgreSQL or MS SQL Server 2008 you can connect to these directly for reporting.
This type of field is not available in the Tutorial database but below is a quick guide to setting the field types at the view.
