I am new to ignition and this is my first project. I have created a KPI Project where I am pulling data from an existing SQL on an existing gateway. I created a bunch of charts. Its working well in designer but when I open it in the client all the tags are broken. ---

By default, Vision client permissions are such that the client is not allowed to execute arbitrary database queries, because it's a big security hole. Either: - Migrate your DB bindings to named queries (do this) - Enable the 'Legacy DB Access' Vision Client permission (don't do this) ---

ok, I think I know how to convert to named queries. I will give that a try, thank you! ---

There's a button on the binding to do it for you: ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/inductiveautomation/original/3X/6/b/6b13ff4625fefe76b4e67e448f02e25b44f3a2c2.jpeg) ---

Yes, I got there but it is asking for a path!? ---

Named queries are a project level resource. You just need to decide the path where binding X gets stored as named query Y. ---

It appears to be looking for a unique identifier, just a name correct? ---

Yep. Maybe put them all in a folder called `KPI` and name each query (for each chart) according to what it is, e.g. `KPI/Employee Metric A` (or whatever). ---

Ok, makes sense, thank you. I tried it on one chart and it worked, Much appreciated
