Dashboards API provides functions for accessing dashboard objects: finding dashboards by identifier path, getting a dashboard by id, creating dashboards, and modifying existing dashboards.

Note that the Workspace Elements API also operates on dashboards as UiElements of type View. Dashboard deletion is handled through the Workspace Elements API.

Methods

The dashboards API has the following methods.

Get dashboard by identifier

GET api/dashboards?identifierPath={identifierPath}&includeProjectPath={includeProjectPath}&projectId={projectId}

Gets a list of dashboard objects accessible to the current user whose UiElements match the specified identifierPath.

The includeProjectPath query parameter is optional and defaults to true. When it is true, the returned View UiElement includes the ProjectPath property, containing the part of the absolute identifier path without the UiElement identifier. If the current user does not have access to all projects in the path, ProjectPath is null.

The projectId query parameter is optional. If it is specified and identifierPath is a relative path, only dashboards belonging to that project are returned.

Get dashboard by ID

GET api/dashboards/{dashboardId}

Gets a dashboard object by ID. The dashboardId is the database IDof the dashboard.

The returned Dashboard object's Views property contains only the UiElement identified by dashboardId. That UiElement includes a Permissions property containing the current user's permissions for the project the UiElement belongs to. If the UiElement's ProjectId is 0 or null, the Permissions property contains the user's global permissions.

Get dashboards in project

POST api/dashboards/?projectId={projectId}

Creates a new dashboard in the database. The request body is a Dashboard object. The projectId query parameter specifies the project into which the dashboard is created. If projectId is omitted, the dashboard is created at the root level.

Returns a dashboard creation result object, not the created Dashboard object. The result contains the saved dashboard View UiElement's Id, Name, and IdMappings from input object ids to database ids.

Modify dashboard

PUT api/dashboards/{dashboardId}

Modifies an existing dashboard in the database. The request body is a Dashboard object. The method does not return content.

When a dashboard is saved, the relevant UiElement is the first View UiElement in the Dashboard object's Views property. For an existing element, the saved properties include Name, Description, Identifier, and custom or optional parameters, and the element's update metadata is refreshed.
