CloudFormation- QuickSight Parameters

Hmm,

Yeah in that case it doesn’t seem like you can set up a “Rolling” date with a parameter in Cloudformation. It seems as though it will have to be a constant.

However, in order to create an analysis in a new environment from an existing one you need to use templates.

Steps.

  1. aws quicksight create-template (create template from analysis)
  2. aws quicksight update-template-permissions (share template to new account)

Then in your CloudFormation you will need to reference the newly created template.

There are features coming out using “Assets as Code” to allow you to create an analysis without templates and use JSON / YAML. But that is not out yet.

This is the only way to do it now
