AWS::QuickSight::Dashboard

Creates a dashboard from a template. To first create a template, see the CreateTemplate API operation.

A dashboard is an entity in QuickSight that identifies QuickSight reports, created from analyses. You can share 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.

Syntax

To declare this entity in your AWS CloudFormation template, use the following syntax:

JSON

{
  "Type" : "AWS::QuickSight::Dashboard",
  "Properties" : {
      "AwsAccountId" : String,
      "DashboardId" : String,
      "DashboardPublishOptions" : DashboardPublishOptions,
      "Name" : String,
      "Parameters" : Parameters,
      "Permissions" : [ ResourcePermission, ... ],
      "SourceEntity" : DashboardSourceEntity,
      "Tags" : [ Tag, ... ],
      "ThemeArn" : String,
      "VersionDescription" : String
    }

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 CreateTheme API operation. For SourceTemplate, specify the Amazon Resource Name (ARN) of the source template. The SourceTemplateARN can contain any AWS Account and any 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.
