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 Amazon Web Services account.

Creates a template either from a TemplateDefinition or from an existing Amazon QuickSight analysis or template. You can use the resulting template to create additional dashboards, templates, or analyses.

A template is an entity in Amazon QuickSight that encapsulates the metadata required to create an analysis and that you can use to create s dashboard. A template adds a layer of abstraction by using placeholders to replace the dataset associated with the analysis. You can use templates to create dashboards by replacing dataset placeholders with datasets that follow the same schema that was used to create the source analysis and template.

GenerateEmbedUrlForRegisteredUser (updated) Link ¶
Changes (request)
{'ExperienceConfiguration': {'Dashboard': {'FeatureConfigurations': {'StatePersistence': {'Enabled': 'boolean'}}},
                             'QuickSightConsole': {'FeatureConfigurations': {'StatePersistence': {'Enabled': 'boolean'}}}}}

Generates an embed URL that you can use to embed an Amazon QuickSight experience in your website. This action can be used for any type of user registered in an Amazon QuickSight account. Before you use this action, make sure that you have configured the relevant Amazon QuickSight resource and permissions.

The following rules apply to the generated URL:

  • It contains a temporary bearer token. It is valid for 5 minutes after it is generated. Once redeemed within this period, it cannot be re-used again.

  • The URL validity period should not be confused with the actual session lifetime that can be customized using the SessionLifetimeInMinutes parameter. The resulting user session is valid for 15 minutes (minimum) to 10 hours (maximum). The default session duration is 10 hours.

  • You are charged only when the URL is used or there is interaction with Amazon QuickSight.

For more information, see Embedded Analytics in the Amazon QuickSight User Guide .

For more information about the high-level steps for embedding and for an interactive demo of the ways you can customize embedding, visit the Amazon QuickSight Developer Portal.
