NOTES

The delimiter ‘:’ in the example is the system delimiter stored in the behavior setting named DEFAULT_TEXT_REPORT_DELIMITER.

The typical use of this command is to retrieve a list of available shared and private reports, to present these as a menu and allow the user to select which report he is going to run with the run_report function.

There are two main sections returned, a list of private: and a list of public: reports

The optional access_token parameter allows you to use a valid OAuth2 token obtained with the get_token command.  If you provide the access_token parameter, then the user_id and password parameters should not be provided.  This prevents the password being sent in clear text over your network connection.

Within each of these sections, each report is shown with four values, separated by the DEFAULT_TEXT_REPORT_DELIMITER and specified as:

1. Report ID – a numeric identifier for the report

2. Title – the title of the report

3. Type – One of the following types:
