I have a view that I want to use in multiple ways, it's nothing more than a popup with a message and two commands, one that closes the view itself and one that I want to parameterize so that I can use it multiple times.

- Pass a parameter containing some code or other into the popup.
- In the popup,
  - If required, add an expression binding to the button's text property to change the text.  

  - On the button event set up something like this.  

  - See [system.perspective.sendMessage | Ignition User Manual](https://www.docs.inductiveautomation.com/docs/8.1/appendix/scripting-functions/system-perspective/system-perspective-sendMessage)

- On the components or views to react to the message you need to add a [message handler](https://www.docs.inductiveautomation.com/docs/8.1/ignition-modules/perspective/scripting-in-perspective/component-message-handlers). Read the doc and watch the video.
