The setupFactory parameter holds the Workbook and Sheet configuration options and OpenAPI source.

callback · function

The callback parameter receives three arguments: event, workbookIds, and a tick function. The tick function can be used to update the Job’s progress. The callback function is invoked once the Space and Workbooks are fully configured.
