My use case is to configure a page with a route with the primary component. When that component loads, I need to get the URL value I set in the configuration. I have been looking at `system.perspective.getProjectInfo()` and `system.perspective.getSessionInfo()`. The issue with the `.getProjectinfo()` is that returns all the pages configurations, but I want to know which one is the current one. And the `.getSessionInfo()` returns all the active sessions in the gateway. Is there a way to get just the current page URL? ---

The URL I set in the Page Config was, let me say `/test2`. When I use either `self.page.props.path` or create a `root.CUSTOM.url` and create a binding to it with `page.props.path`, both scenarios are returning `/` instead of `/test2`. ---

Can you show the [page configuration](https://www.docs.inductiveautomation.com/docs/8.1/ignition-modules/perspective/pages-in-perspective#page-configuration) for this view? Is `test2` a parameter value that you are passing in? ---

![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/inductiveautomation/original/3X/e/7/e74801fd0861614ebfcda9aea8aeee08ffaa552a.png) Yes, the `Page URL` is `/test2`. So my guess is that when this view loads, `self.page.props.path` should return `/test2`, similarly with `/test1`. ---

Facing the same problem when trying to read the current page url. Always returns /. I believe this is dynamic and should return the url of the page which is being viewed in the browser. ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/inductiveautomation/original/3X/3/a/3a58a3b58de2d083085998fac84ebe5f47c6d3fa.png) ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/inductiveautomation/original/3X/8/6/86fff04b80521b013dcb4c796fed9e56dd8221b0.png) ---

Test in a real client, not in the designer, with a label. ---

Thanks for the reply. Got it working.
