Required?

id

Each saved network view has a unique ID. To find out the ID of a particular view, hover the cursor over the name of the view in the navigation tree. The ID is displayed in the status bar at the bottom of the browser window, and as a tooltip.

Passing a network view ID in the URL to Network Views opens that network view. The view is shown without the navigation tree.
