You could also try Control-Q-/ which will bring up the entire spec for the dashboard... in which you'll be able to see the full path to the data items in all the visualizations.

Thanks! I'll keep fiddling with it, but I appreciate having a solution to try.

I think it is little tricky, had to use the control couple of times on chrome, it is kinda hidden as a flybar
Thank you

Thank you that looks great but ctrl + . isn't doing anything on mine. Does it work in 11.1.4/Chrome?

Hi Victoria
if you click on the visualization, so it's active and then CTRL + . (dot) , it will bring up the performance/info view at right - here you can find which data source the data is coming from:

Hoping this is something simple that I'm just not seeing: I have a dashboard built from a data module with a few different tables in it that have the same column names. I cannot see how to tell which data table I built the visualization from, especially if I'm editing one built a while ago and don't really remember. In a report, I see the full 'path' of each data item used in my query. Where's the path for each data item used in a dashboard?
Thanks a bunch,
