how to execute a dashboard via URL

Similar to how it is possible to link directly to the execution of a report via such links like:
- http://SERVER:PORT/reportserverbasedir/reportserver/reportexport
and
-http://SERVER:PORT/reportserverbasedir/reportserver/httpauthexport

as explained in https://reportserver.net/en/guides/admi … a-the-URL/,

I would like to know if there is a possibility to get a URL link which will directly execute a dashboard.
The dashboard has the settings to refresh the report within a time interval.

I would like to load the dashboard automatically on some Display Screens. Nobody will be connected to these display screens. So if possible to have a similar way of using automatic logon via api key like for the execution of the report.

Re: how to execute a dashboard via URL

Hi dwn,
I've got an Idea for a workaround while sleeping:
You can also create a very simple html page containing your embedded report (e.g. via iFrame ) with the apikey. Then you can decide wether you crate a html dashboard or access your html directly! If you want to access it directly you can create a directory inside of the reportserver , allow "share folder for web access" and access this html via fileServerAccess ...

this gives you some more control over your reports

Re: how to execute a dashboard via URL

Thanks for your idea while sleeping. Yes, that's the way I'll have to follow by creating an HTML page with a script to auto-refresh the iframe every x seconds.
