Dashboard URL parameters allow you to control the visibility of headers and the
breakdown sources of dashboards used in application pages.

## Dashboard header {#dashboard-url-parameters__section_rzz_v2g_hbb}

This sysparm_header URL system parameter controls the visibility of the header of the dashboard. It has the following values:

* hidden --- The header is hidden on the application page.
* embedded --- The dashboard header appears but only has limited options. Options to refresh, reset filters, and export to PDF are available on the context menu.
* visible (default) --- The full header is visible on the application page.

## Dashboard breakdown​ {#dashboard-url-parameters__section_kvc_z2g_hbb}

## Dashboard group​ {#dashboard-url-parameters__section_vn5_rjq_ddb}

The sysparm_group URL system parameter enables you to include a single dashboard group in
the dashboard picker on the Dashboards overview page. This parameter takes only the name of
the dashboard group for a value.  

    <your-servicenow-instance.com>/$dashboards.do?sysparm_dashboard=ABC123&sysparm_tab=123ABC&sysparm_editable=false&sysparm_group=incident

## Other dashboard URL parameters {#dashboard-url-parameters__section_vfy_vts_sxb}

sysparm_active_panel
:   Indicates whether the editing panel is displayed.

sysparm_editable
:   Indicates whether the editing panel can be visible.

## Dashboards overview URL parameter {#ariaid-title2}

Use the sysparm_group parameter to select the default value of the dashboard group on
the Dashboards overview page.

### Dashboard group {#dashboard-overview-url-parameters__section_yh3_z55_lcb}

The sysparm_group URL system parameter enables you to open the All tab of the Dashboards overview page (pa_dashboards_overview.do) filtered by the specified dashboard group. This parameter takes as a value only the name of a dashboard group.  
Note:  
If the dashboard group specified in the URL does not exist, the URL returns the Dashboards overview page with the Recent tab selected.

The example URL shows only the dashboards in the group CMDB Overview.
