Hello. How can I pass the value of a parameter from one view to another different view? I am sending some example images. I want to assign the Key\_1 value of View\_1 to the Key\_2 value of View\_2. ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/inductiveautomation/original/3X/8/8/88fd9f6f409d1d8ac495483af8f9176d48228768.png) ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/inductiveautomation/original/3X/6/e/6eaa2aa14e4439848d8103ba978ecaa41f743e40.png) ---

It seems that the parameter values of views 1 and 2 are always the same? In that case create a session property and bind the view parameters to that. You could also use a custom prop on the page itself, if it is only needed on a single page. ---

@dkhayes117 solution is simplest if you want the views to act on the same information but if you need an event to send a value to another view then look at the following links. > **[system.perspective.sendMessage | Ignition User Manual](https://www.docs.inductiveautomation.com/docs/8.1/appendix/scripting-functions/system-perspective/system-perspective-sendMessage)** > > Send a message to a message handler within the same session. > **[Component Message Handlers | Ignition User Manual](https://www.docs.inductiveautomation.com/docs/8.1/ignition-modules/perspective/scripting-in-perspective/component-message-handlers#message-handler-example)** > > In Perspective, Component Message Handlers are the preferred way to pass parameters between components or Views. Doing this involves the system.perspective.sendMessage function. There are typically two steps involved: ---

Thank you very much for your help. Is there a way that when I select an Motor from a menu tree I can go to another view and at the same time change a variable and I can use it to create indirect tags. But at the same time the change of that variable only affects my PC and that from another PC I can also modify that variable without affecting the value of the variable on the other PC. This is in order to speed up programming since I have several similar computers. I am sending some example images. ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/inductiveautomation/original/3X/4/7/47b8d892de571cb1b11caee3c3433f25ac901bff.png) ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/inductiveautomation/original/3X/a/e/ae97d9cb316c27a7ca6949b6178043c846c1c80e.png) ---

Are you wanting to navigate to another page with view2, open a popup with view2, or have view 2 on the same page as the "motor selector" which updates based on the current selection? I would advocate for the last option, myself. ---

Yes, I have view 2 on the same page as the "motor selector" ---

Ohh, are you looking to create an [Embedded View](https://www.docs.inductiveautomation.com/docs/8.1/ignition-modules/perspective/views-in-perspective/embedded-views) ? Or maybe you want a [Parametized Popup view](https://www.docs.inductiveautomation.com/docs/8.1/ignition-modules/perspective/views-in-perspective/popup-views#configuring-a-parameterized-popup-view) ? ---

Hi Leonardo. I am sending you some reference images. When I press both Motor 1 and Motor 2, they direct me to the same view (View\_2). Additionally, I want to be directed to that view, when I press them, they change a parameter and with that make the speed display dynamic in the same view with an indirect tag. ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/inductiveautomation/original/3X/3/b/3b3d49502d9278fdbe2ce0eaa090a7b5e92d96e9.png) ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/inductiveautomation/original/3X/6/0/602315bb92bb8dea6e1113914bb0130ba7083e7d.png) In addition to that, I want that variable to change when pressing Motor 1 or Motor 2. It is only modified for one PC, that is, if I enter from another PC, that variable remains at its initial value.
