Hi Community,

I am trying to build a business application using ignition. I have just a SQL database and want to monitor KPI’s and report them to a executive and larger team. Are there any support,tutorial, user guide available to do that.? If there are please share the link to refer to.

I would also like to hear back any experience or approach of builing a business application with Ignition.

Thanks,

Building an app that displays KPIs from a database is very common. Have you read the user manual? Are you stuck somewhere?
