Retrieving Dashboard Objects

The following web service calls are related to obtaining or managing user dashboards.

 

Expand
titleGETUSERTABS

This web service call will return the metadata of all the published dashboards for a specified user. It also treats each sub tab within a dashboard as separate tabs so that if there is a dashboard with 2 sub tabs, GETUSERTABS call retrieves 2 AdministrationReportGroup objects for the dashboard. To get the parent dashboard metadata, do GETUSERPARENTTABS call.

You can provide a dashboard tab/subtab Id to retrieve a specific dashboard tab/subtab data via request.setDashboardTabId(<Integer>).

Requires user Id. User Id should be passed via AdministrationPerson object.

The dashboard reports metadata will not be retrieved. If you need reports metadata, do GETUSERTABSWITHREPORTS call

Retrieves report metadata for a specified report ID, and a user who requires it. The user can be identified using the AdministrationPerson object.

Keep in mind that each time when you edit a report, Yellowfin changes the report ID whereas the report UUID is always the same for the report. You can use the GETIDFORUUID call to find out what ID corresponds to the report UUID at that moment.
