As long as I can use my toolkit, and do not have to use the native charts. 😬 In general, I think it is simply beautiful, and so much better at handling varying screen sizes that I want it for anything other than fixed machine workstations. I will continue recommending purchasing **both** modules.

I will be the first person in my department to use Ignition, I work with a mixture of numerical and categorical data from users.

"Light duty" would be single page Perspective apps running in Workstation, or Mobile, or single-tab browser sessions, displaying dashboards with real-time tags, up to an hour (-ish) of real-time trends, and pre-computed statistics for longer time… --- _[View the full topic](https://forum.inductiveautomation.com/t/perspective-or-vision/103388)._
