Presentation Management Web Methods

PagedList<Presentation> GetPresentations(string marker, int pageSize)

Retrieves the next page of the Presentation list, sorted by [string] Name. The returned list will contain no more items than the defined page size.

Note

This method will not be able to initialize the DeviceModel enumeration, PresentationLanguage enumeration, or ScreenSettings structure if a target presentation was created in BrightAuthor. The server will return “unknown” and Null values instead.

Parameters
  • [string] marker: The [string] Name of the last Presentation instance on the previous page. If the value is Null, then the method will retrieve the first page.
  • [int] pageSize: The maximum number of objects returned by the method. If the list of objects that match the search criteria exceeds the [int] pageSize limit, the returned list will indicate that it is truncated. If the integer is not positive, then the method will return the maximum allowed number of objects. Attempting to request more objects than is allowed will lead to the same result, but without an error.
List<Presentation> GetSpecifiedPresentations(int[] presentationIds)

Presentation: Update Presentation, Add Content, Remove Content, Assign Content – Content: Unassign Content

Parameters
  • [int] presentationId: The identifier of the target Presentation instance. If this parameter is set to Null or set to a negative number, then the method will return False without an error. If the [int] Id is positive but does not correspond to an existing Presentation instance, the server will return a descriptive error.
  • [PresentationZone] entity: A PresentationZone structure with an initialized [int] Id and an updated set of properties, including a new Contents list. If this parameter is set to Null, then the method will immediately return Null without an error. The server will return a descriptive error if any of the following conditions occur:
    • The specified PresentationZone [int] Id does not match an existing PresentationZone structure.
    • The length of the PresentationZone [string] Name exceeds the limit defined on the server side.
    • The PresentationZone [string] Name is not unique within the scope of the account.

Presentation: Delete Presentation

Parameters
  • [int[]] presentationsIds: An array of identifiers indicating the Presentation instances that should be deleted. The number of passed items is limited to 100 by the server. Attempting to delete more than the allowed number of objects will result in an error. An error will also be returned if an [int] Id does not correspond to an existing Presentation instance. Passing an empty array, or passing an array containing an identifier that does not match an existing Presentation instance, will lead to an immediate False response without an error.
