Hello, is there a way to know if a "Page URL" is active/configured using expressions or scripts? I would need this to enable/disable commands based on whether the reference URL exists or not. ---

I found a solution that works for Perspective pages using "chromedriver" and "selenium". Its a little bit tricky but it works. ---

While you provided a solution, it's not a good one. Use the 1st party provided functions to get the job done. [system.perspective.getProjectInfo](https://docs.inductiveautomation.com/display/DOC81/system.perspective.getProjectInfo#:~:text=in%20the%20project.-,pageConfigs,-An%20array%20of) will provide a list of all page configurations for the project, which sounds like what you're looking for as it contains the configured mounted paths (project URLs). ---

So for that function, it says it works from a Gateway scope but I'm getting this error in the logs calling that function from a timer script. Caused by: java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: No perspective session attached to this thread. ---

Got it. The function returns information about the project being used _by a Session_. When executed by any non-Perspective context, the function has no idea what project to return data about. ---

Gotcha. Thank you for updating the documentation team. ---

The [Docs](https://www.docs.inductiveautomation.com/docs/8.1/appendix/scripting-functions/system-perspective/system-perspective-getProjectInfo) appear to be updated to reflect that Gateway is not a valid scope for this function. ---

Dear team, I have one doubt? In Vision, to find out how long a particular window has been open, there's a 'System.gui.getWindow' function. Is there any similar function to determine how long a particular view has been open in perspective? ---

No, but it's not hard to implement by yourself using `now(0)`. But what exactly are you trying to do ? ---

I have 10 views in Perspective, and I need to get the value of which view the user opens and how long it has been open. I can use `page.props.path` in the onStartup script, but that would require doing it individually for each screen. I don't want to do it that way. I need to make it dynamic with one script so that I can know which screen the user is using and for how long. ---

Use a shared docked view. Put the check for `page.props.path` there. ---
