Source Filters

If your report uses Source Filters, the Broadcast Report will also be filtered by the Source Filter, as well as whatever filters were defined above. If the report has been sent to an external email address, rather than a defined Yellowfin user, the recipient will inherit the Source Filter from the user who defined the Broadcast.

Note: in order for a user to Broadcast a Source Filter report to recipients not defined in the source filter, they will require the following role permission to be enabled.

A Delivery Rule is used for exception reporting. If you wish to send a report only if it meets certain criteria (for example: Revenue is less than 100,000) then you will need to add a rule.

2. Click on the Click here to add rule link

   1. If one or more rows match the rule (e.g. is there a transaction less than $1000) OR
   2. If the totals for the report match the rule (e.g. are the total sales less than $100000)
4. Select the field you wish to apply the condition on, click Add, and apply your condition. Click Update to save it. You can add multiple conditions here if required.
5. Click Save & Close to apply your condition(s)
