Hi,
I am trying to set up a new usage tracking system that will record the user, dashboard, and space name each time a user accesses a dashboard. We'd do this with the javascript external visualization option, but it doesn't seem as if there's a way to get the dashboard name or space name from the Birst object. I know we can set up a hidden filter that defaults to a variable, so we can use V{USER} and V{SCHEMA}, or we can create another variable and set that variable in each space to the space name, but I'm not excited about the prospect of having to set up a separate filter with a hard-coded default on each dashboard page that is the name of the page, nor hard-coding the name into the javascript for each dashboard...
I am looking into digging some of the names out of the HTML document object model, but that can be risky as it will break if Birst makes changes to the structure of the model.
