Re: Window popup time of day You can use a Client Timer Script! You can find it in the designer under Project -> Event Scripts (Client). I would make one that ran every minute and opened the window on a specific time. Just make sure you check the time at the beginning of the script.

Re: Window popup time of day Could you give an example of how it would be written. I am quite new to Ignition and the scripting aspect of it all. Thanks.

Re: Window popup time of day Code: from time import localtime, strftime
curTime = strftime("%H:%M", localtime())
print curTime
if curTime == "17:30":
#it's beer thirty!
system.tag.write("Beer Cask 1/Flow Control/open", 1)

Re: Window popup time of day thanks works with system.tag.write("Beer Cask 1/Flow Control/open", 1) being replaced with system.nav.openWindow("windowname")

Re: Window popup time of day That's correct, although if you're opening a window, system.nav.swapTo("windowname") will be the way to go. This function will properly handle closing the window that was previously in focus and open the new one. If you're just opening a popup, then openWindow works fine.
