How exactly do I determine the ID of a dashboard?

From the docs … `{{dashboardUrl id queryParamKey1='queryParamValue1' ...}}` : Creates a link to the dashboard at the given ID (defaults to the current dashboard) and adds the optional query parameters. To pass a nested object of parameters, such as for [dashboard context](https://docs.losant.com/dashboards/context-variables/), include the parameter as `ctx=(obj key1=valueFromField key2="staticValue")`.

I’ve got a dashboard w/ a device list which I am trying to link to a second dashboard for device specific display. I thought I had the linked dashboard’s ID correct (from the browser URL), but clicking on the link lands me back into the device list dashboard (as if ignoring the ID I gave it and defaulting to itself).

Quotes required around ID! 😬
