Hi All,

I have to list all available dashboards in Kibana in my web app and for this I am querying the .kibana index in Elasticsearch. While this works nicely I also have to sort / show dashboards category-wise (e.g. important dashboards, admin dashboards), so the way I come up with is to prefix dashboard name and to use prefix in queries. However this is not so elegant and more of a hack so I wonder if there's a way to tag a dashboard from within Kibana itself (e.g. category:admin), then query for that tag.

Thanks!  
George

No, this isn't currently possible. There is an open issue on Github here if you'd like to add your feedback: [https://github.com/elastic/kibana/issues/6876](https://github.com/elastic/kibana/issues/6876)
