Navigation between projects on one gateway

Ignition
1

Hey everybody -

I was wondering if anyone has any experience linking between two projects on the same gateway.

For instance, I am working on a project that has 2 water treatment plants. Each plant has their own Ignition project (same gateway). From plant A we want to be able to show the main overview screen from plant B, and vice versa.

Any ideas on how to make this happen?

Thanks in advance!

Use the Embedded View component in Project A to display a URL for Project B.
Note that if you are using security on B you will probably have to log in even though you are logged into A.

Isn't that kind of the same situation though? In project A, I still need to be able to get to that view path thats contained in Project B

Move the shared views (and other resources) into an inheritable project on that gateway, and have the two projects inherit them. Add the inherited views to both project's navigation.
