Hi, I have an embedded view (View 1) that is in a view (View 2) that is also embedded in another view (View 3). So View 3 has View 2 embedded and View 2 has View 1 embedded. I'd like to hide a button on View 1. View 1 is used in other views that need the button. I tried some scripts and can't seem to get it to work. Any help or guidance would be greatly appreciated. Thank you. ---

Is the button always hidden when embedded in this scenario, or is there some trigger that should result in the button being hidden? If there is a trigger, at what level is that trigger initiated? ---

Hi. At the moment it is visible and functional. It works in the other view that needs the button. I actually do not have any code written. I thought maybe a startup script could help me hide the button on the view it needs to be hidden on. Any suggestions to look into or a code sample would be appreciated; meaning "don't use a script" or "use a trigger (not sure what that means but I can investigate)" I appreciate your timely response. ---

There is no trigger. The view just does not need the button. The button actually displays the same view in another view so that's why it is not needed. ---

On the view where the button needs to be optionally hidden, bind the visibility to an input parameter. When embedded on a view where the button is not needed set the parameter to 0. In this way each instance of the embedded view can be configured individually for your needs. > **[Embedded Views | Ignition User Manual](https://www.docs.inductiveautomation.com/docs/8.1/ignition-modules/perspective/views-in-perspective/embedded-views)** > > An embedded view is an instance of a view that is used as a component within another view.
