Hello Everyone,

I am a very new member of the world of Ignition. Currently, I am working on Perspective View, in which I am navigating the screen through the menu tree, but during that, I am able to navigate the respective screen the only thing it's getting is opening in a new tab of the browser while doing the launch session.

This is the expression that gives me the above problem.

"ETEC\_SCADA\_Project/components/component-views/" + {view.params.Folder} + "/" + {view.params.componentView}

You'll want to use page navigation instead of view navigation. Check out the perspective session settings which is where you configure the pages in your project. Each page is linked to a particular view. Then your navigation buttons will use a page nav action where the page path will be something like "/area/overview"
