Getting the parent dashboard name of an embedded dashboard ?

Hello,

I am currently working on the solution which consist of a dashboard page that can be embedded in other dashboards. For this solution, I would like to reference the name of the parent dashboard where the embedded dashboard is currently embedded.

Are there any standard functionalitity / functions that would catch the main or parent dashboard of an embedded dashboard ?

Many thanks for your insights.

Regards,

Dashboards

    So far, I have use a "literal parameter values" under "processing" to define a name for the parent dashboard, which is then used by the given business rule in the embedded dashboard. Not the most automated way, but it works. Hence, if there's any other fonctions that could help for this, please let me know.

    Sergey​ "Parent dashboard" is a bit confusing.  An embedded dashboard can be in more than one container and is by definition a component at that point.  The Dashboard itself belongs to a Dashboard Group.  Neither has a "parent dashboard".

    Are you seeking the name of the current container of a given embedded dashboard or the name of the dashboard group a given dashboard is a member of?
