Would like to print a Perspective screen with an embedded view in it triggered by an event. Reporting function doesn’t seem to offer some of the necessary dynamic animation that we currently have in another SCADA package and would also require a lot of duplication. Is there a way to do this in Perspective and what is best approach?

Thanks

Browsers have their own print abilities. For Mac users it is Cmd+P - I would expect Ctrl+P for Windows users. Perspective does not have any additional configuration for this at this time, so it’s not something which can be triggered by an event.

Since reports can be printed, is there any way to insert a view into a report? Maybe wishful thinking.
