Sub UserProc;
Var
    mb: IMetabase;
    MObjSrc, MOdjDest: IMetabaseObject;
    DashboardSrc, DashboardDest: IAdhocReport;
    CrInfo: IMetabaseObjectCreateInfo;
Begin
    MB := MetabaseClass.Active;
    // Get a dashboard to be copied
    MObjSrc := MB.ItemById("DASHBOARD_EXPORT").Bind;
    DashboardSrc := MObjSrc As IAdhocReport;
    // Create a new dashboard
    CrInfo := MB.CreateCreateInfo;
    CrInfo.ClassID := MetabaseObjectClass.KE_ADHOC_REPORT;
    CrInfo.Id := MB.GenerateId("DASHBOARD");
    CrInfo.Name := "Dashboard";
    CrInfo.Parent := MObjSrc.Parent;
    MOdjDest := MB.CreateObject(CrInfo).Edit;
    DashboardDest := MOdjDest As IAdhocReport;
    // Copy all dashboard parameters
    // DASHBOARD_EXPORT to the new dashboard
    DashboardDest.CopyFrom(DashboardSrc);
    // Save changes
    MOdjDest.Save;
End Sub UserProc;

After executing the example a new dashboard is created. All parameters of the created dashboard will be copied from the DASHBOARD_EXPORT dashboard.
