Say I have a Production Line with 5 work stations. Each one has a different name. I have built one interface but I want to see the Workstation name in a text box when the user starts the client at their workstation. So one Ignition interface. 5 Workstations with 5 different names. Any ideas on a way to complete this without making a separate interface for each workstation?

Thanks in advance for the thoughts, help, and any ideas to follow.  
Keith

Pretty much this, i generally use the IP address of the workstation to automatically open up specific screens.
