I’ve got a pretty good handle on using the Perspective MenuTree to navigate to static views but am having trouble figuring out a good method of passing values to the target view. I assume this is possible…

In order to pass a parameter to a new page, you will have to utilize URL parameter passing. The view you are passing a parameter value to will need a parameter defined in the page configuration using the replacement syntax. For example, if you have a URL /view and the primary view of that page has a parameter called view\_id, then the page configuration URL for that page will look like /view/:view\_id

I’ve attached a proj file here of an example project that does this for a page with two parameters.[test.proj](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/inductiveautomation/original/2X/3/3c7376eb446c85fbb40d7672c1aff30c0867dd57.proj) (6.5 KB)
