Adding username to record

oriol

Hi, simple question: I have a form and when it opens I want to load on a specific field the username of the current REI3 user. Right now I'm using this

app.set_field_value({F8: 0 people.added_by}, app.get_user_id(), true)

But it loads a numeric user ID. Is there a way I can get the user name from the user id?

Thanks

Hello again 🙂

User details are stored in the instance (internal user management of r3) and are at first not available in an application.

To connect your records to users, you create a relationship attribute to a user relation that your application has access to. You can get there in two ways:

You can setup a user sync, to get the user data inside a relation in your own application. With your own relation you can decide what user data to take over from the r3 system and how its managed. User sync functions can be very simple, just copy-pasting data to a relation. When you create a user sync in r3, a template is provided to help you set it up.
You can build on top of another application that already has a user sync - such as REI3 Organizations, and create a relationship attribute to lsw_organizations.contact. Every user in r3 has a contact record in REI3 Organizations which you can refer to.
