We are tracking user activity in our audit log idaa_t_audit_event. We have successfully implemented page visit tracking for Perspective sessions using a custom prop on the Header view with an onChange script. We can also see resources modified events in the audit log when a Designer user saves/edits…

This seems to work. Run this in the script console. To roll this out automatically, call the script from a Vision Client Tag's value change script event handler; set it to an expression tag with expresion: now(0) to make it change once on load. You need to have Vision module installed but it doesn't…

maybe system.util.audit | Ignition User Manual when open?

You cannot capture this. There's no event emitted by any system at any layer that you could watch for.

You could log this using Periscope's Client Resource feature. [image] Musson Industrial's Embr-Periscope Module 3rd Party Modules Release Notice Embr v8.1 - 2026.5.28 Embr v8.3 - 2026.5.28 Client Resources + React Component Client Resources are files compile…

We have around 52 Ignition projects and 1,000+ Designer users, and I'd like to track which Perspective views each…

This should already do exactly this. Ignore the system.vision functions. Imo these shouldn't be hidden in the Vision module since these equally apply to the designer. They are just Java environment functions, which the designer is itself. I assume that's where your questions come from? Ie system.vi…

Thanks a ton, man! I really appreciate the time and effort you put into this. Your solution works perfectly.

[image] Ignition Best Practices In general, lean on the tools that are available to you, and practice saying 'no' to feature requests. Ignition is a flexible enough platform that the answer is often "yes, technically", but maintaining that one-off (that turns out to not be very important after a…

Maybe not, but Claude can :face_with_tongue: but really, this particular thing sounds more something to gain insight from in the short term. I doubt it's of significant importance particularly over the long term.
