aws quicksight create-template
Creates a template from an existing QuickSight analysis or template. You can use the resulting template to create a dashboard. A template is an entity in 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
Options
| Name | Description |
|---|---|
--aws-account-id <string> | The ID for the AWS account that the group is in. Currently, you use the ID for the AWS account that contains your Amazon QuickSight account |
--template-id <string> | An ID for the template that you want to create. This template is unique per AWS Region in each AWS account |
--name <string> | A display name for the template |
--permissions <list> | A list of resource permissions to be set on the template |
--source-entity <structure> | The entity that you are using as a source when you create the template. In SourceEntity, you specify the type of object you're using as source: SourceTemplate for a template or SourceAnalysis for an analysis. Both of these require an Amazon Resource Name (ARN). For SourceTemplate, specify the ARN of the source template. For SourceAnalysis, specify the ARN of the source analysis. The SourceTemplate ARN can contain any AWS Account and any QuickSight-supported AWS Region. Use the DataSetReferences entity within SourceTemplate or SourceAnalysis to list the replacement datasets for the placeholders listed in the original. The schema in each dataset must match its placeholder |
--tags <list> | Contains a map of the key-value pairs for the resource tag or tags assigned to the resource |
--version-description <string> | A description of the current template version being created. This API operation creates the first version of the template. Every time UpdateTemplate is called, a new version is created. Each version of the template maintains a description of the version in the VersionDescription field |
--cli-input-json <string> | Performs service operation based on the JSON string provided. The JSON string follows the format provided by ``--generate-cli-skeleton``. If other arguments are provided on the command line, the CLI values will override the JSON-provided values. It is not possible to pass arbitrary binary values using a JSON-provided value as the string will be taken literally |
--generate-cli-skeleton <string> | Prints a JSON skeleton to standard output without sending an API request. If provided with no value or the value ``input``, prints a sample input JSON that can be used as an argument for ``--cli-input-json``. If provided with the value ``output``, it validates the command inputs and returns a sample output JSON for that command |
