Input
| Name | Type | Required | Accepts Output Streams | Description |
| AssetId | Integer | True | False | Specifies the unique identifier (Id) of the asset whose view content is to be retrieved. This value identifies the source asset in Content Builder and determines which file or message content is compiled. |
| ViewName | String | True | False | Specifies the name of the asset view to retrieve. Common view types include 'HTML', 'Text', and 'Preview'. This value determines which version of the asset content is returned by the stored procedure. |
| Thumbnail | Boolean | False | False | A Boolean field that is set to a value of 'true' to return a base64-encoded thumbnail image of the compiled content. It is set to a value of 'false' to return the complete HTML view instead of a thumbnail representation. |
| IncludeHeaderFooter | Boolean | False | False | A Boolean field that is set to a value of 'true' to include the message header and footer in the returned content when the asset contains HTML or text views. It is set to a value of 'false' to exclude header and footer content from the output. |
| IncludeDesignContent | Boolean | False | False | A Boolean field that is set to a value of 'true' to include additional design content, such as layout elements and design-time components, in the returned thumbnail image. It is set to a value of 'false' to return only the rendered message body. |
| DownloadPath | String | False | False | Specifies the full file path where the compiled HTML output is saved. This parameter determines the local or network storage location for the rendered asset view. |
| Encoding | String | False | False | Specifies the encoding type of the FileData input that is used when saving the compiled HTML file. The encoding ensures correct character rendering and compatibility with the chosen file format.
The allowed values are NONE, BASE64. The default value is BASE64. |
| FileStream | String | False | True | Specifies the instance of an output stream to which the compiled file data is written. This parameter is used only when the DownloadPath value is not provided, enabling programmatic handling of the file output. |
