Is it possible to reference a dashboard in a URL via name instead of dashboard ID?

[iproz]

Is there a way to reference a dashboard by its name, instead of ID?

eg/ instead of

https://company.cloud.looker.com/dashboards/187

something like

https://company.cloud.looker.com/dashboards/sales/Sales+Dashboard

Or is there a way to overwrite an existing dashboard with another one? Version control with LookML is great, but we're having difficulty managing versions with dashboards that are consumed by users. If a user has a link saved to a dashboard, but then we roll out a new version, that user's link becomes stale.

Thanks!

yes, you can set custom slugs for dashboard and you can link to them by either ID or slug in the URL.

e - sorry, just re-read and you want to do it by name, that is not possible unless you do some sort of redirect at the web server level, and the slug has limitations in how it is formed but at least it can stay consistent between environments unlike the ID.

Friendly URLs in 2023, the technology doesn't exist.
