# @dash-id

{% hint style="info" %}
You will not usually set @dash-id manually. Instead the dash-id will be automatically created when publishing your chart to DashSQL. See [Sharing & Publishing](/product-and-community/in-development/sharing-and-publishing.md)
{% endhint %}

## Quick Reference

```
-- @dash-id: ghjeiof02
```

## Valid Values

`String`

## Full Example

```sql
-- @title: Auto Heatmap
-- @subtitle: An example auto generated heatmap comparing two categories
-- @dash-id: gjt30fj
SELECT
Owner,
Channel,
count(*) as Sales
FROM Sales
WHERE Sales.Status = 'Won'
GROUP BY Owner, Channel
```

## Use Cases

@dash-id uniquely and globally identifies your chart in the DashSQL database. It is used for lookups and collaboration purposes. You will typically not need to edit this manually.
