#### Remarks

You may specify an `idRef` or `uriRef`; as a convenience you may also specify dashboard object identifier (string) - that's same as using `idRef(objectIdentifier)`. You can also specify an [IDashboard](https://www.gooddata.ai/docs/gooddata-ui/latest/api-reference/sdk-model/sdk-model.idashboard/index.md) instance but this is reserved for internal use cases, avoid it unless you are absolutely certain you know what you are doing.
