Pointing to a report template via URL relies on knowing the template's ID number that is automatically assigned by Koha, which is not shown in the template anywhere. In order to get that number you have to run a report and apply the template to see it in the URL. However, this creates extra work for those of us linking to reports with templates via jQuery, and copying this jQuery to other servers; particularly test servers. It would be helpful if we could either manually assign these ID numbers or create some other type of ID that could be referenced via URL (with the condition that Koha checks if the ID us unique). This would allow for more consistency between servers.
It might also be helpful if when editing a template, we could see the ID number somewhere. At the very least.
Maybe if we could just refer to the template code in the URL, that would be sufficient.
