User context references

Overview

App Studio offers the possibility to create personalized apps using the runtime user context.

With this feature you can provide a more personal experience for your users. For example, you can have a personal welcome message for every logged in user, or pass in the current user email ID the to the RPA process.

To access the context of the current user, in the Expression editor, type CurrentUser. . A list of available properties unfolds:
DisplayName

FirstName
Retrieves the first name of the current user.
LastName
Retrieves the last name of the current user.
Email

Example

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.
