      • setExecutionFlags

        void setExecutionFlags​(int executionFlags)
        Sets the execution flags, which will be used when submitting a document for execution to the Intelligence Server. The execution flags are enumerated in EnumDSSXMLDocExecutionFlags.
        Parameters:

        Refreshes the document and allows the caller to specify whether to reprompt the user to answer prompts again before submitting the document.

        If prompts are reopened (and prompts exist), then the user will be prompted to answer the prompts again. If the the prompts are not reopened, the current prompt answers will be used.

        Parameters:
        reprompt - true if the user should be asked to answer prompts again.
        Returns:
        A WebDocumentInstance represents the refreshed results returned for this document.
