Get Dashboard UUID by Dashboard Name - API
Idea Logged
Hi,
Currently, I need to make sure I update the URL manually if a new copy is made of the target report with the new UUID. It is a frequent practice to make copies when creating new versions so I was just wondering if there was a dynamic way to get the UUID of a dashboard based on its name.
That might be a useful enhancement to add as an API function call. Get dashboard UUID by name.
I like this idea 
Hi Simon,
Is there any way for me to obtain the dashboard UUID from code mode for a dashboard different from the one I'm editing?
I have a use case where we have a dashboard that links to another dashboard where we have a high-level summary on the starting dashboard and then a dashboard that has a dimension breakdown summary that users need to be able to nav to.
Thanks

Hi Simon,
Yes, that is correct. So, since I cannot obtain a different dashboard's UUID from the code mode of the dashboard I'm in, how would I be able to link to one dashboard from another? Right now, since the URL takes the dashboard UUID as parameter to nav to a dashboard, I have to hardcode the UUID in code mode, which is unreliable since this will change over time.

Simon,
Got it, given your explanation I expect it is not an issue to hardcode the UUID in the code then, so this is what I've done. Thanks for the explanation.
