Display User Login Name

[CRamsey]

I am sure this is already out there but I have not been able to type the right phrase to find it. I want to display the user name of the person that is logged in. Thanks

Hello @CRamsey,

As far as I understand, you want to display a name on the DataPage.

You may add the Header/Footer section or HTML block. 

If the DataPage is authenticated, when you click the Picker icon, you will see the so-called Authentication Fields. 

On the DataPage this parameter will be replaced with the name of the person who was logged in.

 

Authentication Fields– Similar to Data Source fields, but they are from the authentication data source fields.

On additional note, if you ever changed the value of your authentication fields, like if you have a datapage where they can edit their user profile, the values of the authentication parameters will not be updated until the next time you login.

Hello! I have found out that Caspio has a similar documentation about this topic. https://howto.caspio.com/authentications-and-connections/authentication/stamp-a-record-with-user-profile-data/
