Hello,

I have seen some posts about adding components through scripting but they were older and for vision has any updates been made to allow this in perspective?

I am wanting to add an Icon Component to plant overview view based on a query from our Work Order Database. For example if I query the database and there is priority ‘1’ work order for Machine ‘A’ add a red square to position x:412 y:125. If its priority 2 a yellow square.

I know I can do it with visibility but multiple icon colors for different priorities with 150 pcs of equipment would get pretty cumbersome.

Just curious

Thanks.

Sounds like a good fit for the [View Canvas](https://docs.inductiveautomation.com/display/DOC80/Perspective+-+View+Canvas) component.
