Grafana dashboard and URLs

CMS 4.0.7 (upgrading soon!)

We have the Dashboard connector app. I found out the hard way that we can’t use an on-prem Grafana server to get dashboards. I spun up a test site on their hosted platform and copied my on-prem dashboard over.
Following the guide, I can’t find the ‘Cycle view mode’ button, and when I paste the URL in the layout, it mostly just shows the menu to the left, and none of the dashboard. It looks like it just takes a screenshot of the page to display in the Xibo Layout. Is this correct? How can I display just the dashboard and nothing else?

Yes, as written in the article:

Users then configure the dashboards that they want their displays to show, and the dashboard service will log in to that service on your behalf, load the content you’ve asked it to show, and then send a static image capture of that dashboard and store it on encrypted storage within DigitalOcean’s Spaces service.

When a display wants to show that dashboard, it requests it from the CMS which will authorise or reject the request, and if authorised it will connect to the Xibo Dashboard Service and download the latest image and pass it to the Player, without storing it in the CMS or on the Player storage.

I searched google for a better answer. The way to fix this is to add &kiosk to the URL that you’re requesting.
