I need help for perspective carousel setup, I am passing parameters from a view on to carousel with details of the device information including the control buttons of the device. I created the parameter value under the carousel, example ‘device’ parameter which has the same name of the parameter at the device view (template). On the view template, I am using an indirect tagging to select the devices’ path with ‘deviceNum’ as the varying information. with all these done, the parameter is not been passed well and that led to no data returned on the carousel. I am wondering if I am doing the right thing or there are better ways of doing, any help will be appreciated.

Head on over to the docs site:

[https://docs.inductiveautomation.com/display/DOC80/Perspective+-+Carousel](https://docs.inductiveautomation.com/display/DOC80/Perspective+-+Carousel)

The component props are well documented, and there is a video that demonstrates how to use view parameters (in addition to all other component features).
