Hello @Transistor

I tried to pass multiple parameters to a page using a URL like this:  
`/alarm_card_view/:asset_name/:critical_count/:end_dt/:start_dt/:tag_path/:warning_count`  
But I'm getting a "view not found" error.

Can you please tell me:

1. How to properly pass multiple parameters in the URL?
2. How to call a script within the page using those parameters?

Thank you

In the page's config, did you create the page url with your params in it (ie. As you have here:

> [@ARIFRAHUMAN\_A](#):
>
> /alarm\_card\_view/:asset\_name/:critical\_count/:end\_dt/:start\_dt/:tag\_path/:warning\_count

)

When you pass the params in, you pass their values directly into the url as strings like:  
`/alarm_card_view/asset3224/394/1748944895/1749944895/path%2Fto%2Ftag/23`

Note: For the tagpath you will need to encode the forward slashes e.g. `%2F`

E.g.

```python
import urllib
tagPath= "path/to/tag"
tagPathURL = urllib.quote(tagPath, safe='') # results in "path%2Fto%2Ftag"
url = urllib.quote("/alarm_card_view/asset3224/394/1748944895/1749944895/{}/23".format(tagPathURL))

```
