(v24) Identify a Visual's sourceID

Identify a Visual's sourceID

This applies to: Visual Data Discovery

You can identify a Symphony visual's sourceID while working with it. For example, to programmatically identify a visual's default settings using a REST API call, it is easiest to use the sourceID in the call to look at its source configuration.

To identify the sourceID of a data discovery visual's source:

1. Open the visual in its dashboard.

2. Find the number at the end of the URL in the address bar of your browser. The sourceID is the section of the number before the plus sign (+).

After you have identified the sourceID of a visual, you can use it in other steps such as calling REST API methods.
