Publish reports
This sample shows how to publish a report by creating a Report record and the related records that make it visible. You can download the sample from here.
How to run this sample
- Download or clone the Samples repo so that you have a local copy.
- (Optional) Edit the cds/App.config file to define a connection string specifying the Microsoft Dataverse instance you want to connect to.
- Open the sample solution in Visual Studio and press F5 to run the sample. After you specify a connection string in cds/App.config, any sample you run will use that connection information.
If you do not specify a connection string in cds/App.config file, a dialog will open each time you run the sample and you will need to enter information about which Dataverse instance you want to connect to and which credentials you want to use. This dialog will cache previous connections so that you can choose a previously used connection.
Those samples in this repo that require a connection to a Dataverse instance to run will include a linked reference to the cds/App.config file.
How this sample works
In order to simulate the scenario described above, the sample will do the following:
Setup
Checks for the current version of the org.
Demonstrate
- The
Reportmethod instantiates the report object. - The
ReportCategorymethod sets the report category te report should belong to. - The
ReportEntitymethod defines which table this report uses. - The
ReportVisibilitymethod sets the report visibility.
