Get/Set Report Options APIs

How to Call These APIs

There are two calls related to Report Options: getReportOption and setReportOption.

• The setReportOption is used to designate a value for a specific report option.
• The getReportOption allows you to view the current value assigned to that option.

cv.api.report.setReportOption(name:string, value:string);
cv.api.report.getReportOption(name:string);

To ensure your changes are reflected in the report, the refreshReport method should be called:

cv.api.operation.refreshReport();

Acceptable values for setting a report option are 'true' and 'false'. The getReportOption returns one of these same values.
