Hi,

I’m not sure but in the documentation(Redirect Notice) the element ‘entities’ is never mentioned so my guess would be that your REST request body should not contain entities but :

[
{
    "id": "cb090350-2694-e2bb-f5d9-813daa8dc418", 
    "name": "booksAvailability(xlsx)",
    "code": "BOOKS_AVAIL",
    "group": "4e083530-0b9c-11e1-9b41-6bdaa41bff94"
},
{
    "id": "d8c7f4c5-2dd7-c7f1-7286-f8dd286d2603",
    "name": "LiteratureTypes(csv)",
    "group": "4e083530-0b9c-11e1-9b41-6bdaa41bff94"
}

]
json

- report ID,
- report name,
- report system code (if exists),
- group ID.

Hello,

a parameter can be a name:value pair or name:values pair as i see it.
If you want to give a entity over parameter:

  • name=paramterName
  • value=idForTheEntity

For the example the documentation provides:
{parameters: [{name: 'author',value: '4b3a21b0-d6b7-4161-b0b6-55f118fbaac5'}]}
→ This would mean there is a parameter named author for the report which corresponds to some Entity which has as UUID as ID Type.

For your case a with “ENTITY_LIST” you need to specify values:

 {
 	parameters: 
 	[
 		{
 			name: 'authors',
 			values: ['4b3a21b0-d6b7-4161-b0b6-55f118fbaac5', '5x3a21b0-d6b7-4161-b0b6-55f118fbaac5']
 		}
 	]
 }
