I have a template that exists under views/dashboard/_myTemplate.gsp and from the DashboardController I can simply call 

render template:'myTemplate'

and all is well. I have a need to render this template from a different controller but the render method doesn't allow you to specify a controller and I can't seem to figure out how to define the path at which the template exists for the render to work correctly. Is this even possible?

You do it by controller name:

render(template:'/dashboard/myTemplate')

    It helps-me a lot! And if your want to use a view from another controller, use: render view: '/fooController/barView' – Topera Aug 30 '11 at 13:45

    technically this is not the controller name, it's the path to the template relative to the `views` directory. – Ken Liu Oct 31 '13 at 17:27
