Hello all,

I want to display in my app, the supervisor of the user who is logged in.

To display "himself", User().DisplayName is enough.

But now I want to display the corresponding supervisor. How can I do that? With the "ManagerV2()" option? If so how?

Or maybe something like this: 'Office365-Users'.MyProfile().ManagerName

But this does not work. Is there any other method?

Thank you in advance!

Hello,

You can leverage
Office365Users.Manager(Office365Users.MyProfile().Id).DisplayName
to get the manager display name of the currrent user.

Thanks for your quick reply @alaabitar . It works great. You are a genius!

One last question, do you know if this can be also the default of a ComboBox?
That means, its possible to pick the manager in a user list, but I want the manager to be already in the combo box as default when the form is shown, is that possible?
Your formula simply write under "Default" in the ComboBox does not work. Do you know if there is another method? (See image below)

Default Option:

Thank you in advance!

Hey,

You are welcome 🙂
Yes sure let's say your dropdown is called ComboBox1 you should put the items property to
Office365Users.SearchUser({searchTerm:ComboBox1.SearchText}) and the default property to Office365Users.Manager(Office365Users.MyProfile().Id) and the SelectMultiple to false.

Thanks for your reply, @alaabitar.

It doesn't show an error message, but the combo box stays empty. (See pic1 below).

I have to specify somehow what to display, and when I specify .DisplayName it doesn't accept it. Is says: Record value expected. Why? (See Pic2 below)

Is it maybe because it is not a dropdown but a combo box?
I am getting desperate... maybe you know why or another way.

Thanks so much in advance!

Have you set the items property to Office365Users.SearchUser({searchTerm:ComboBox1.SearchText}) ?
Also you can specify witch property to display in the right pane

I thank you so much for your reply, @alaabitar . It almost fit. The problem was that the default property should be specified as a table with "[ ]". In the end it looked like this:
['Office365-Benutzer'.ManagerV2('Office365-Benutzer'.MyProfileV2().id).displayName]

Also, for ComboBoxes I should not use the normal "Default" property, but the "DefaultSelectedItems" property.

This finally solved the problem. Thank you again!
