Public Method Author API

setActivity()

Sets the Activity JSON of the Activity being edited.

You would want to use this method so that you can programatically set default values for various settings and content for the current Activity, for example.

Examples

authorApp.setActivity({
    "items": [
        {
            reference: "test1",
            organisation_id: 1
        },
        {
            reference: "test3",
            organisation_id: 1,
            item_pool_id: "pool_1"
        }
    ],
    "rendering_type": "inline"
});
