App & Dashboard Commands

This page covers apps, folders, dashboards, and page elements. It aligns most closely with the hbi-app and hbi-dashboard skills.

app

Purpose: manage apps themselves, plus app-level configuration and access.

Common subcommands:

• lifecycle: list show create update move transfer delete duplicate export import
• replacement: dataapp-replace connection-replace
• access and publishing: grant revoke permissions publish unpublish share
• app capabilities: param dimension rule subscribe portal locale refresh-schedule
• AI-related: vectorize-datasets

If you need to go deeper into one app capability, focus on these command trees:

• parameters and shared dimensions: app param app dimension
• rules and subscriptions: app rule app subscribe
• portal, localization, and refresh scheduling: app portal app locale app refresh-schedule

folder

Purpose: manage folder trees.

Common subcommands:

• list show
• create update delete
• move
• root

Use it to organize resources in personal areas, team spaces, data marts, and similar folder hierarchies.

dashboard

Purpose: manage dashboards, reports, and themes.

Common subcommands:

• list show
• create copy delete update
• export-data export-file
• plan
• theme

The two most common deeper trees are:

• YAML-driven creation or update: dashboard plan
• theme resource management: dashboard theme

plan is for YAML-driven dashboard creation/update, and theme is for built-in or custom theme resources.

element

Purpose: manage charts and page elements inside dashboards.

element itself is a second-level entrypoint. The common element families are:

• chart
• button
• filter
• container
• iframe
• image
• shape
• text

If you are actually creating or updating dashboard elements, the most common trees are:

• charts: element chart
• filters: element filter
• containers: element container
• text blocks: element text

For example, element chart commonly includes:

• create update
• list show
• query
• export-data export-file
• patch
• delete

Where to drill down next

Scenario	Start with
app lifecycle, import/export, move, or transfer	app
app parameters, shared dimensions, rules, subscriptions, and portal settings	app param app dimension app rule app subscribe app portal
folder tree management	folder
dashboard or report resources	dashboard
dashboard plans and themes	dashboard plan dashboard theme
charts and page elements	element / element chart / element filter / element container / element text

When you need exact flags and examples, use that command tree's --help in the terminal.
