I have a project that is used at multiple facilities and has a parameter in the url for the site’s identifying number allowing the project to load their respective data. This works great for bookmarked urls on windows PCs in the web browser, but now I have a use case for an Android tablet using the Ignition Perspective app from the Play Store.

Before I concede and create a view to allow the user to select what facility they would like to see, is there a way to pass a param when launching a project from the launcher application?

Edit 1: Current work around until solution is made is using the tablet’s web browser to load the project with the url parameter.

Have you considered a Session startup script that checks the device and if android moves you to the appropriate URL?

Using the session device "type" prop.

That would be a good approach, and if it’s an mobile device utilizing the launcher, forward it to a view to select the parameter instead. thanks!

Great, and to answer the original question I think the mobile app always defaults to the home URL "/", so using some session props on startup or redirecting when the home page loads is the common solution for targeted page launching.

If you were on desktop, another workaround is Workstation lets you target more specific URLs launch.
