CreateDashboard

Creates a dashboard from either a template or directly with a DashboardDefinition. To first create a template, see the CreateTemplate API operation.

A dashboard is an entity in Amazon QuickSight that identifies Amazon QuickSight reports, created from analyses. You can share Amazon QuickSight dashboards. With the right permissions, you can create scheduled email reports from them. If you have the correct permissions, you can create a dashboard from a template that exists in a different AWS account.

URI Request Parameters

The request uses the following URI parameters.

AwsAccountId

The ID of the AWS account where you want to create the dashboard.

Length Constraints: Fixed length of 12.

Pattern: ^[0-9]{12}$

Required: Yes

DashboardId

The ID for the dashboard, also added to the IAM policy.

Length Constraints: Minimum length of 1. Maximum length of 512.

Pattern: [\w\-]+

Required: Yes

Request Body

The request accepts the following data in JSON format.

Name

The display name of the dashboard.

Type: String

Length Constraints: Minimum length of 1. Maximum length of 2048.

Required: Yes

DashboardPublishOptions

Options for publishing the dashboard when you create it:

  • AvailabilityStatus for AdHocFilteringOption - This status can be either ENABLED or DISABLED. When this is set to DISABLED, Amazon QuickSight disables the left filter pane on the published dashboard, which can be used for ad hoc (one-time) filtering. This option is ENABLED by default.

  • AvailabilityStatus for ExportToCSVOption - This status can be either ENABLED or DISABLED. The visual option to export data to .CSV format isn't enabled when this is set to DISABLED. This option is ENABLED by default.

  • VisibilityState for SheetControlsOption - This visibility state can be either COLLAPSED or EXPANDED. This option is COLLAPSED by default.

Type: DashboardPublishOptions object

Required: No

Definition

The definition of a dashboard.

A definition is the data model of all features in a Dashboard, Template, or Analysis.

Either a SourceEntity or a Definition must be provided in order for the request to be valid.

Type: DashboardVersionDefinition object

Required: No

FolderArns

When you create the dashboard, Amazon QuickSight adds the dashboard to these folders.

Type: Array of strings

Array Members: Maximum number of 1 item.

Required: No

LinkEntities

A list of analysis Amazon Resource Names (ARNs) to be linked to the dashboard.

Type: Array of strings

Array Members: Maximum number of 5 items.

Length Constraints: Minimum length of 1. Maximum length of 1024.

Pattern: ^arn:aws[\w\-]*:quicksight:[\w\-]+:\d+:analysis/[\w\-]{1,512}

Required: No

LinkSharingConfiguration

A structure that contains the permissions of a shareable link to the dashboard.

Type: LinkSharingConfiguration object

Required: No

Parameters

The parameters for the creation of the dashboard, which you want to use to override the default settings. A dashboard can have any type of parameters, and some parameters might accept multiple values.

Type: Parameters object

Required: No

Permissions

A structure that contains the permissions of the dashboard. You can use this structure for granting permissions by providing a list of IAM action information for each principal ARN.

To specify no permissions, omit the permissions list.

Type: Array of ResourcePermission objects

Array Members: Minimum number of 1 item. Maximum number of 64 items.

Required: No

SourceEntity

The entity that you are using as a source when you create the dashboard. In SourceEntity, you specify the type of object you're using as source. You can only create a dashboard from a template, so you use a SourceTemplate entity. If you need to create a dashboard from an analysis, first convert the analysis to a template by using the CreateTemplate API operation. For SourceTemplate, specify the Amazon Resource Name (ARN) of the source template. The SourceTemplateARN can contain any AWS account and any Amazon QuickSight-supported AWS Region.

Use the DataSetReferences entity within SourceTemplate to list the replacement datasets for the placeholders listed in the original. The schema in each dataset must match its placeholder.

Either a SourceEntity or a Definition must be provided in order for the request to be valid.

Type: DashboardSourceEntity object

Required: No

Tags

Contains a map of the key-value pairs for the resource tag or tags assigned to the dashboard.

Type: Array of Tag objects

Array Members: Minimum number of 1 item. Maximum number of 200 items.

Required: No

ThemeArn

The Amazon Resource Name (ARN) of the theme that is being used for this dashboard. If you add a value for this field, it overrides the value that is used in the source entity. The theme ARN must exist in the same AWS account where you create the dashboard.

Type: String

Required: No

ValidationStrategy

The option to relax the validation needed to create a dashboard with definition objects. This option skips the validation step for specific errors.

Type: ValidationStrategy object

Required: No

VersionDescription

A description for the first version of the dashboard being created.

Type: String

Length Constraints: Minimum length of 1. Maximum length of 512.
