I am currently working on automating agent installation packages on edge nodes, [Automated Agent Installation | Ignition User Manual](https://www.docs.inductiveautomation.com/docs/8.1/ignition-modules/enterprise-administration/agent-management/automated-agent-installation#example-agent-configuration), and that has been successful so far but these gateways will need the 'Visualization Mode' set to perspective instead of the defaulted Vision, and I am unable to find where this would be in the config file or find what property this would be to address. I have checked here, [Gateway Configuration File Reference | Ignition User Manual](https://www.docs.inductiveautomation.com/docs/8.1/appendix/reference-pages/gateway-configuration-file-reference), but there is no reference of this parameter. Is there a way to default this to perspective on ignition install or am I mistaken about the necessity of this parameter, these nodes will be fully licensed with perspective. ---

just have to go to your gateway webpage then **Config** \> **Gateway Settings** and scroll to the bottom. ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/inductiveautomation/original/3X/3/2/329ffee5add2aa5cc872f1d97834ee81ced118b3.png) ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/inductiveautomation/original/3X/1/0/10ce7ded36173e1808deba334e32c356d5042eaa.png) ---

My apologies, the point of this is to automate this process where we can slap a usb in a panel and it will launch edge already configured without having to restore from a backup, as we have numerous panels that will be needing it. I am able to configure the gateway network and agent with two additional files in the data folder but I am not seeing any documentation on the visualization mode and it does not appear to be exposed in the config files anywhere ---

The config data like that is stored in the internal DB for ignition I think (This goes away in 8.3 I believe) but I don't think there is a good way outside of having a backup. You have to install Ignition and license it anyways/configure it for the GAN. You may just spend more time thinking about how to achieve this than you would just clicking the dropdown.
