Good Morning, Can anyone tell me if the "Web Developer Module" will allow me to do this type of operation? I have a window already set up in Ignition, this window basically allows some of our users to see "Trends" from our stored data in our SQL database. It also just displays 4 real-time variables (actually they are updated every 3 minutes) at the bottom of this same window. What I am wanting is a "Web-Page" that anybody with the correct IP address and security settings could log-in and see basically this same window. Am I thinking correctly or am I missing something? ---

That would be a typical use of the [Ignition Perspective Module | Powerful Visualization for Mobile-First Industrial Applications](https://inductiveautomation.com/ignition/modules/perspective). ---

But, I am using VISION, that is why I am ask my question? ---

I know, but Vision requires the user to download and install an application program. Perspective doesn't. Send a link to the user, the user clicks the link, the browser opens and displays the page (after login, if required). That was your user requirement as I understood it from your original question. ---

So your telling me this can't be done even if I purchase the "Web-Developer" module as long as I am running on VISION? ---

Vision doesn't expose any of its visuals in a web-compatible form. And gateway scope in Ignition simply has no Swing context at all that could render such visuals. You could, with staff competent in Jython and HTML and CSS and Javascript, create a dynamic web page to be delivered by the WebDev module to all requesting browsers, that would produce the same basic data and graphics as a Vision window. It would be a significant engineering task. If you don't already have staff with the necessary skills, you should probably buy Perspective--it will greatly reduce the development time to replicate a Vision window in a web-friendly format. ---

Thanks, "pturmel" I appreciate you taking the time to explain this to me.
