Hi there,
Currently we are launching our perspective Project at multiple locations hence multiple sessions are active. I’ve created session properties to use it in the session.
What our current requirement is I need send a warning popup to the only session where XYZ session value is selected.
For example if there are session 1 to session 20 are active, I need to check session property value of each and based on that display a warning popup to the only session whose session property value matches to XYZ.
It does seem easy to implement, like check the session property == XYZ and if true display popup. However I’m confused whether that warning popup will appear on all currently active sessions or just on that single session.
I need it to appear only on that session. Please suggest.
Ignition: 8.1
Windows 10
Perspective module
Where are you sending from and how often is it happening?
I need to test this, but I think if you specify the sessionId as a parameter to system.perspective.openPopup, then you can target a specific session. I haven’t tested this, though.
Here is the document I’m reading. Also, note that the pageId is required if you’re targeting a session other than the current one you are working in.
If you provide more information, I think we can figure this out…
I am sending it from project script. Its basically I need to check whether the certain Station is selected at the session and send the popup after each 15 mins based on some data present in DB.
Yes I can specify the sessionId in system.perspective.openPopup , however how to fetch the session.custom.property of that session? So if sessionId X has session.custom.property == value X then pass sessionId X as a parameter to system.perspective.openPopup
you could also send a message to all sessions and let the message handlers inside the client check if it has the right property or not
