Arguments
Description

CatalogObject object

Specifies the dashboard object to write to the Presentation Catalog, supplied in the CatalogObject structure. For information about the CatalogObject structure, read CatalogObject Structure.

All fields of object.itemInfo are ignored, except for the array of item properties, which are applied to the object. The signature of the resulting document is always dashboarditem1.

String path

Specifies the location in the Presentation Catalog where the dashboard object should be written.

boolean resolveLinks

If set to TRUE and the path in the Presentation Catalog refers to a link, then the dashboard object is written to the location pointed to by the link.

boolean allowOverwrite

If set to TRUE, then if the dashboard object already exists in the Presentation Catalog, it is overwritten. If set to FALSE, then if the dashboard object already exists in the Presentation Catalog, it is not overwritten.

String sessionID

Specifies the session ID, which is usually returned by the logon method. If the SOAP client engine can handle HTTP cookies, you can omit the session ID or set it to null.
