Now on the Ignition Module Showcase!  
LIDT Technologies have released a Drag & Drop Module for Ignition Perspective platform, built for creating dynamic, operator-configurable HMI interfaces.  
The module adds three components to the Perspective palette — DraggableContainer, DroppableContainer, and DataDropContainer — that let users drag views between containers while automatically preserving and transferring tag data through UDT-aware configuration logic.  
Some of what it enables:  
→ Operators customizing their own workspaces by dragging equipment views where they need them  
→ UDT-aware data transfer that intelligently maps tag paths, including member-level drill-down  
→ Dynamic view selection that scans project views for compatible dropConfig entries at runtime  
→ A DataDropContainer for collecting tag paths to feed trend charts, alarm lists, and reports  
→ Full component event lifecycle with view hierarchy context for scripting in nested view structures  
→ Configurable drag-over visual feedback and fully styleable selection dialogs  
Compatible with Ignition 8.1.33+ and 8.3.0+.  
The project example from the demo video is included with the download to help get started quickly.

+It is completely Free for Maker Edition.

It is especially powerful in conjunction with the built-in Dashboard component. Making building user specific dashboards truly flexible. Test it out and give me your feedback!

Excited to release the updated version of the Perspective Drag and Drop module. Most notable updates are that a "move" option was added to the Draggable Container and a functionality was added where if you place your existing Perspective Table components inside of the the Draggable and/or Droppable Container, it will then be able to Drag and Drop! See below:

There is an example project with the module download to help with a quick start! Test it out and tell me what you think: [Ignition Third-Party Module Showcase](https://inductiveautomation.com/moduleshowcase/module/lidt-technologies-perspective-drag-and-drop)
