shareReport(options: ShareReportConnectionObject): Promise<String>
[starting from version 2.9]
Saves the current report to Flexmonster Data Server and provides a link to the saved report.
To save a report, Flexmonster creates an XMLHttpRequest and sends it to the Data Server as a POST request. The request is sent to <url>/save, where url is the Data Server’s URL (e.g., http://localhost:9500).
For more details on report sharing, see this guide: Share the report.
