Include the event's id , source , and the event's date (optionally, include the view ). DayBack will navigate to that date and display the event's popover, clearing any filters if necessary.
Example URL syntax for viewing a particular event:
https://app.dayback.com/#/?date=2016-03-23&source=My%20Server&id=635662540R4J52D
