User context references

Overview

FirstName

LastName

Email

The following example shows how to build a welcome message addressed to the logged in user.

  1. In Apps Studio, add a Label display control.

  2. For the Text property, open the Expression editor by clicking the "tune" icon .

  3. Create your welcome message by concatenating the message string and the current user property, as follows:

    "Welcome " + CurrentUser.DisplayName"Welcome " + CurrentUser.DisplayName
  4. Preview your app. You should be seeing your message, followed by your display name, as you are previewing the app from your account.
