It is the first time that I create a project with ignition in perspective and I want to know what steps to follow to start a session in perspective on another device that is not my local device (devices within my same network)

Perspective sessions start when you open a project URL from a browser or Perspective Workstation.

What are you trying to do? Remotely start a Perspective app?

Step one is to make sure your gateway is exposed to your network. If you've been developing with localhost, your gateway is probably not exposed (Windows firewall defaults).

If you can visit your gateway's web interface by pointing an external device at your LAN IP address, you'll be able to launch Perspective, too.
