How to get records of a user dynamically in model driven apps

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by Community Power Pla... Microsoft Employee

Hi,

 

I am developing a leave request application purely using model driven apps. Is there a way i can get the details of the users dynamically like the user() functionlity in canvas apps?

 

I dont want the user to be entering their names and email id's manually, the fields should be auto-populated depending on the user.

 

Any help would be much appreciated.

 

Thanks & Regards

Srinath

    Hi @Anonymous ,

     

    You can achieve this by embeding a canvas app in model driven app following:

    Hi @v-monli-msft ,

     

    I'm trying to develop the application solely using model driven apps. So i wanted to know if i can achieve the same without embedding it in a canvas app.

     

    Anyway thanks for looking into my query.

     

    Regards

    Srinath
