Can't change dashboard subtab names

Hi Siim,

This sounds like it may be a bug. We've received a report of this from another client as well. While we investigate this, if you are looking for a workaround, it would be worth trying the following:

The sub-tab name is stored in the "ShortDescription" column of the ReportGroup table, so if you run the following query it may well correct the problem:

UPDATE ReportGroup
SET ShortDescription = '<insert new name here>'
WHERE ShortDescription = '<insert current name here>' 

Please remember to backup your Yellowfin config database before doing any such backend modifications.

I've attempted to replicate this error, but could not. This means that it is not a general bug that occurs with all installations of that build of 7.4, but rather, somehow the current state of your Yellowfin configuration database is most likely causing the issue. If this SQL query isn't a suitable solution we will have to obtain a dump of your YF config DB. Please let me know how you'd like to proceed.

Regards,

Mike

Hello,

Because I would want to change it for a specific dashboard only, how can I find the entry that corresponds to a specific dashboard?

All the best,

Hi Siim,

This query is to update one Dashboard tab at a time. If you look through your reportgroup table in the config db, you can find your current subtab name under ShortDescription, making sure the GroupTypeCode is SUBTAB. Probably the easiest way to find the corresponding entry is to open the applicable dashboard then refresh in the config db, and sort the results by LastModifiedGMTDateTime. If you pay attention to the exact time that should give you all you need but you can also make sure it's in the correct CategoryCode and SubCategoryCode (Folder and Subfolder in the UI) as well.

Please let me know if you have any further questions.
