How to get widget names

On a board I am working with, the items are grouped by what I assume is a widget, a top level grouping. In the api, how can I find out what the name of that widget is when I query and get all the items. I want to find that Carlos belongs to MISC METALS. I am able to get Carlos, how do I find MISC METALS?

Hi there @GrandPa,

Let me know if I understand correctly. You have a dashboard as a board view. The dashboard has widgets in it. Carlos C is the name of a group I believe.

MISC METALS is the title of the view.

Is that what you are trying to get via API? The title of the view?

Sincee I really don’t know terminology, I guess you are correct. I want to know if I find Carlos, and any others, which view are they included in.

Hello again @GrandPa,

From what you sent here, it looks like “Carlos C” is probably the name of a group in your board.

To find all the groups in your board via API, you can just use the board’s ID in a query like this one:

query {
  boards (ids: 1234567890) {
    groups {
      title
      id
    }
  }
}

The name MISC METALS is just the name of the widget. It is not that that group “Carlos C” belongs to some other object called MISC METALS.

If what you want to do is find out which groups are filtered in a specific native timeline widget, that can not be achieved via API.

Let me know if you have any other questions!

Cheers,
Matias
