Hello everyone, I’m having trouble with a view appearing I created a scipt allowing me to retrieve the post name according to the folders of my sites So Script = “PDL” or “PDL PTR 1” according to this value, I would like to display the view that goes with what is in the “security” folder (on the second screen) So I wanted to know if there was a function already defined or how I could do? Thank you 🙂 ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/inductiveautomation/original/3X/0/3/036d53a6e964b95f83a930f38f227e6540de070c.png) ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/inductiveautomation/original/3X/c/5/c53789ec6f50b730b2cb2ab1b3e6e81e16f73da7.png) ---

I’m assuming this is a binding on the `props.path`. The path has to be fully qualified, not just the name of the view so the result of your script needs to have the full folder structure included. Assuming that `Securite` is a folder under the `Views` folder then the returned path would need to be ```auto Securite/sec_mul/PDL ``` or ```auto Securite/sec_mul/PDL PTR 1 ``` ---

Yes, it’s a binding on props.path I will use as path: “/Securite”+"/sec\_mul"+"/"+Script But to bring up the view, I have to use a specific function? ---

No, if the path is valid, so long as it isn’t referencing the parent view, the embedded view should display the view the path points to. ---

It refers to the good path, but does not views sight… I am surely making a mistake ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/inductiveautomation/original/3X/f/a/fa8bcefedeb19608f4b643db39b719866fa0d091.png) ---

Make sure the page is configured with that path [https://docs.inductiveautomation.com/display/DOC81/Pages+in+Perspective](https://docs.inductiveautomation.com/display/DOC81/Pages+in+Perspective) Then you should be able to navigate to it [https://docs.inductiveautomation.com/display/DOC81/system.perspective.navigate](https://docs.inductiveautomation.com/display/DOC81/system.perspective.navigate) ---

I thought he was trying to change the path of an embedded view… @Valerian_LADIEU What you’re trying to do is not clear, maybe try explaining in french what your goal is ? By the way, I sent you a pm the other day. I believe we’re working on the same solar farms ! ---
