    Hi,

     

    So, the name for timeline is Timeline1447991079100 , for Aster Plot is AsterPlot1443303142064 .

    It's definitely not so trivial to reveal this names.

    Usually, it is enough to find the top container of a visual in the layout as on picture below.

     

     

    Kind Regards,

    Hi mrothschild,

    You can  get the ID by right-clicking the visual icon in either Desktop or the Service and selecting About, e.g. for the Aster Plot, we can get the same IS v-evelk got from the browser DOM:
