Use O365 users name in a form

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by Rhemo 56

Hi Im looking for a way to use O365 users name on a form without the abilty for them to change that field on the form,

 

I have an ActionedBy column in excel, and a form on my app, with corrisponding field, should the following formula work if i unlock the textbox and use it in the Default section? and how do I prevent the user from changing the value entered?

 

If(ActionedBy <> "", ActionedBy, Office365Users.MyProfile().DisplayName)

    Hi Rhemo,

     

    If you want to show the O365 user name of the current user, you do not need a form to display this and you just need the data connection to the Office365 Users, a text box and set its Text property to the following formula:

    Office365Users.MyProfile().DisplayName

     

    For more information, please refer to:

    Regards,

    Mona

    Thank you for your reply but that is not what I was asking.

     

    I have figured out the solution though. I just needed to use the "Office365Users.MyProfile().DisplayName" as the Default then disabled that piece of the form so it could not be changed by the user.
