Can you make a specific dashboard the default view when the user clicks on an app?

I know you can do the following in order to make a dashboard as the default view for an App:

<nav search_view="search" color="#ff9999">
    <view name="dashboards" default='true' />
</nav>

However, is there a way to make a specific dashboard the default view when the user clicks on the App? For example, if I have a dashboard titled "Total Sales".

I tried the following, but it does not work:

<nav search_view="search" color="#ff9999">
    <view name="Total Sales" default='true' />
</nav>

The view name should be set to the name of the dashboard as it appears on the URL (or in Settings), not the label or title of the dashboard. The name of the dashboard would be something without spaces. E.g. when you launch the dashboard, the URL will be like http(s)://<host:port OR domain name>/en-US/<app_name>/**<dashboard_name_is_here>**/..other stuff if any. Use the value **<dashboard_name_is_here>** in the default.xml.
