There should be a way to programmatically determine the load status of a Spotfire dashboard. For example, all tables have loaded, scripts executed, etc.

It is currently only possible to do so using the Javascript API; however, you will not be able to do so using this property within the Spotfire dashboard via IronPython. This report can be done using the Document.onDocumentReady method in Web Play...

Data function does not have option to enable/disable prompting
