In terms of organizing projects at the gateway level, I do like to dedicate a separate project for just alarm notification pipelines. This allows you to make changes/additions without causing a change in your visualization projects. I even go as far as creating a separate project for reporting and scheduling delivery. However, the report viewer can only display reports within that same project. I have lobbied for reports to be a shared resource across multiple projects, but unfortunately have been unable to convince the powers that be on this. > [@\[IGN-7702\]ReportViewer source path from different project](https://forum.inductiveautomation.com/t/ign-7702-reportviewer-source-path-from-different-project/73282): > > Is it possible for the ReportViewer in Perspective to run reports that are located in a different project? Is this even an option? source: [ProjectName]ReportFolder/ReportName I tried this format, but no dice.
