Quicksight CreateAnalysis API to create a completely new analyses

Q&A

I want to use the quicksight CreateAnalysis API to create a completely new analysis. In quicksight we have various visuals that we add to an analyses. If I want to use a table visual in my analyses which parameter is supposed to take that value in the CreateAnalyses API.

I searched the internet also for this question, where I found out that quicksight does not allow to create a new visual through API. You have to take an existing template and using that template you have to create an analysis. If that is the case, how do I create a template from quicksight UI. I am not finding any option in the UI to do the same.

Hello Karora,

Welcome to the Quick Sight Community !

Its not available in the console yet. Template can be created only via API currently. Once, you have created them via the CreateTemplate action, you can list them using the ListTemplates action and use for example the CreateDashboard or CreateAnalysis actions to create a new dashboard/analysis based on the template.

To see some step-by-step instructions on how to use those APIs, you can have a look at the content porting section of our admin workshop.

Hope this helps.
Cheers,
Deep
