Hi Prabhu,

Class AppExtensions contains two different approaches for creating master objects.

AppExtensions.CreateMasterObject Method which creates master object, this method will create a master object from source object.
AppExtensions.CreateAndLinkMasterObject Method which creates and links master object, this method will create a master object and will convert the source object to linked object (linked to the created master object).

Example:

private void CreateMyMasterObject(IApp app, string sourceId)

{

app.CreateAndLinkMasterObject(sourceId, null, new MasterObjectProperties

{

Metadata = new MasterObjectMetaData

{

Name = "MyMasterObject",

Description = "My visualization"

}

});

}

Regards,

Helene

Hi Helene.

What about a master measure/Dimension - how do you create this with the SDK?

Measures and dimensions are typically created by using the methods CreateMeasure and CreateDimension‌ that are available as extension methods for the IApp interface.

I finally had success with creating my measures and dimensions, using exactly CreateMeasure and CreateDimension - thanks!

I tried to use this code to convert an existing chart to a master item however it keeps giving timeout errors. Any ideas? This is using version 3.2

var prop = new MasterObjectProperties()

{

MetaDef = new MetaAttributesDef

{

Title = "Sales chart",

Description = "This chart show the total sales per region"

}

};

App.CreateMasterObject("SalesPieChartID", "SalesMasterObjectID", prop);
