dashboardid

Dashboardid is a term used to denote the unique identifier assigned to a dashboard object within data visualization and business intelligence systems. The identifier distinguishes one dashboard from others and is used by software components to retrieve, reference, or manage the dashboard.

The format of a dashboard ID varies by platform. It may be a numeric primary key, an alphanumeric string, a UUID, or a URL-friendly slug. In many environments, the ID is created automatically when a dashboard is created and remains stable even if the dashboard's title or description changes.

Common uses include loading dashboards via URLs, querying dashboards through APIs to obtain metadata or content, and linking dashboards in reports or embeds. The ID acts as a persistent handle that identifies the dashboard across sessions and applications.

In practice, sites may also expose an accompanying slug or path to improve readability, while the underlying dashboard ID remains the authoritative reference for programmatic access.

Security considerations include ensuring that access controls enforce permissions for a given ID. Exposing raw IDs in public links can enable unauthorized access if not protected; API access should rely on tokens or scoped credentials.

Overall, the dashboard ID is a foundational element of dashboard management, enabling reliable retrieval, sharing, and integration across tools and environments.
