Pinning items to the f(x) flyout
The f(x) flyout is used to provide easy access to commonly used data functions. As an analysis author with the Pin data functions and the f(x) flyout license feature, you can pin your own selection of data functions from the library to the flyout. You can also pin or unpin built-in data functions or tools (if you have access). An administrator can predefine selected data functions using a preference.
