The value of view-url-name is the name of the view in its URL. For example, if a view named View 1 shows the URL https://MY_SERVER/#/site/MY_SITE/views/VIEW_1 in your browser address bar, then the view-url-name would be VIEW_1. Modifying the name (display name) of a view will not impact the view-url-name (path element of the view's URL).
