Perspective messages are not received by embedded view

Ignition

I am trying to setup a 4 quadrant view on a 4k monitor. this consists of a main page with 4 embedded view components for the process views and another 4 for navigation. through this embedded view component I pass a parameter for the quadrant number. In the process view I want to send a message with a view scope to all embedded views (navigation arrows or buttons) on the process view with the quadrant number. however components in the embedded view do not seem to respond to the messages of its parent view. Can someone confirm this ?

A page view is obviously not an option because every view on the page would pickup the message.

the main use case is I don't want to connect every embedded view in a processview to the quadrant its on. this is allot of manual work.

Another use case would be a general reset button that resets all alarms connected to motors/valves etc on that view with 1 button. I would make a button that sends a message with payload "reset" and quadrant 1. the embedded views in the current opened process view in quadrant 1 would respond and set the reset tag of that motor/valve, etc to true.

Use page scope. Include in the message payload which quadrant is targeted. In the quadrant views, discard messages for other quadrants.

Thats the next step. First I need an automated way to tell the objects what quadrant they are on. But since the messages dont seem to carry through to within embedded views in the view scope, im stuck right now. I dont want to do manual property binding on anything, it would take many (extra) hours

Use page scope.

Pass the quandrant as a parameter to your four views, and pass that further into any nested views.

Are you receiving any messages at all, even with page scope?

If you are sending messages to a message handler on a component, just double check that you are using the correct function:

system.perspective.sendMessage | Ignition User Manual (inductiveautomation.com)

As opposed to:

system.util.sendMessage | Ignition User Manual (inductiveautomation.com)
