double click on the dashboard tab in PUC. This will open a new window with a direct url to the dashboard.

EDIT: If you want to be able to open a dashboard on an iframe without giving away authentication details, you can:

  • Create an user that can only access that dashboard. That way the credentials on the URL will be harmless
  • Define the dashboard accessible by the anonymous user.
  • Change the authentication method for your Pentaho server. There's a lot of information regarding that on Pentaho infocenter.

You may find this answer and this blog useful.

The problem you have here is the access to the URL, which is simple:

  1. right-click the CDE file (blue icon)
  2. click "Open In New Window"
  3. the URL in the new browser window is the URL you're looking for

When adding to iframe, you may also find it convenient appending login-details (user_id=your_user_name, password=your_password) to the URL. Otherwise it requires you to log-in, which is painful to business users.
