Opening a Specified Sheet in a Dashboard Using the URL API

The table below shows the URL parameters used to run a dashboard and open it with a specified sheet selected. You use either a key or an index value to specify the sheet. If you use a key, you must obtain it using code or get it from the HTML. If you use an index value, you specify it using base 0. For example, if you want to select the 6th of 10 sheets, you would use an index value of 5.

Argument	Description
evt	3140 - ReportExecuteEvent Allows users to specify the sheet that will be opened when a dashboard is run
src	The page component that should handle the action and the event
documentID	Specifies the ID of the dashboard to run
layoutKey	Key that identifies a specific sheet in the dashboard
layoutIndex	Base 0 index value that identifies a specific sheet in the dashboard
