clone Loaded from the Web Player server's document cache (so the item did not need to be accessed from the Spotfire library). Should be considered identical to load if whether the item is opened from the cache does not matter.

load_start Started loading a library entry.
load Loaded a library entry. Should be considered identical to clone, if whether the item is opened from the cache does not matter.
