my question is: when pressing the 'change' button in the opened pupop window, what command should i use in the attached script to update the view elements behind it?

Use a message handler.

- Right-click on the button | Configure Events | onClick | + | Script.
- Add [system.perspective.sendMessage | Ignition User Manual](https://docs.inductiveautomation.com/docs/8.1/appendix/scripting-functions/system-perspective/system-perspective-sendMessage), giving it a unique name in the messageType field. Be careful to set the scope properly. It will default to "page" which should work.
- On the component in the view to be updated, right-click on the component | Configure Scripts | + Handler, set the Message Type to the same name you used in sendMessage and write the script to do what you want it to do.

> Hi Can someone give me a solution so that if I move the mouse over the Time Series Chart above, it will appear at the same point on the Chart below? I would like to see the results on independent charts at the same time and if I put everything on the same chart the lines are not clearly visible. Thanks for any help!
