title: _path
---
summary: The full path of the record.

type: sysfield

body:

The `_path` is the more complete version of the [`_id`](../id/).  It contains
the entire path of records that are the parents of a record.  So if you have a
record named `docs/api/db/contents.lr` the `_id` would be `db` but the `_path`
would be `docs/api/db`.

The path can be used to uniquely identify a page but for that purpose the
[`_gid`](../gid/) can also be used which is a hashed hexadecimal version of
the page.

## Example

```html+jinja
<!-- generated from {{ this._path }} -->
```
