Copy a report

Creates a copy of a custom, standard, or public report by sending a POST request to the Report List resource.

Usage

sf_copy_report(report_id, name = NULL, verbose = FALSE)

Arguments

report_id

character; the Salesforce Id assigned to a created analytics report. It will start with "00O".

name

character; a user-specified name for the newly cloned report. If left NULL, then the new name will be the same name as the report being cloned appended with " = Copy" that is prefixed with a number if that name is not unique. It is highly recommended to provide a name, if possible.

verbose

logical; an indicator of whether to print additional detail for each API call, which is useful for debugging. More specifically, when set to TRUE the URL, header, and body will be printed for each request, along with additional diagnostic information where available.

Value

list representing the newly cloned report with up to 4 properties that describe the report:

attributes

Report type along with the URL to retrieve common objects and joined metadata.

reportMetadata
