Dashboards URLs not practical in day to day business

[Atlassian 29495]

Hello,

for many years now, communicating Dashboards is no light job. In fact many users don't even know they exist.

The URL + Identifier (usually five digit number) must be hand-picked (copy & past) and does not mean anything specific. 

Once you are in an active Dashboard, the URL is showing as https://example.com/secure/Dashboard.jspa#

The real URL isn't handily available for copy & paste. The "..." > "Share Dashboard" option is pointing inside the Jira towards a account/access management stage, were users can be added. This should be named "Access Management of Dashboards"

Please make it more clear, how Dashboards are i) identifiable by URL and ii) can be shared amongst people more practically.

A simple "mouse over" (hoover) sometimes shows the URL, sometimes not!

Also, if Dashboards URLs would include project identifiers, that would be visible and clear for anyone instead of plain ##### five digits like the lottery, i.e., https://example.com/secure/XXX/Dashboard.jspa#ID, where XXX is the project tag.

Lastly, the "Manage Dashboards" option suggests that this means "Settings of Dashboards", which is partially true, but actually this is a viewing option, which may not look easy for some users.

Kind Regards

I don't think that a project identifier in the URL is a good idea because a dashboard can include data from multiple projects in which case how would the system know which project key to use in the URL?

It would be nice to have the dashboard name encoded in the URL, hopefully the renaming of a dashboard wouldn't cause problems with a new URL being generated. I know that Confluence pages have the encoded page title in the URL and that gets updated automatically when the page title changes so hopefully Jira could do the same.
