Hi guys,

I am wanting to put a label on the front page of my app showing the current users ID as per the attached photoshopped image.

hI @mandela I have entered this formula into the Text property of the Text label and it returns a long string of numbers which I presume is my ID, but it doesn't show my name or profile picture.

Not quite what you asked for, but I think it will accomplish what you are looking for. If you go to the app on start, you could add the following information:
Concurrent(
Set(varUser,User()),
Set(varUserEmail,User().Email),
Set(varUserImage,User().Image),
Set(varUserName,User().FullName)
)
Then in a label, you just set the text to one of those global variables such as varUserName and it will display within the label. It would make all of those visible throughout the application.

The new modern control header does something similar to this automatically, but doesn't get the user name for some reason.
If this answered your question, please accept as the solution.

Hi @trstrean , thank you, This has got me there or thereabouts. I have managed to put in the label the User Name which is what I wanted to do. I only get a string returned when I try it with the User Image. This is not a massive issue. I almost didn't get anything until I relaised I needed t "Run OnStart" 🙂
Thank you very much for your help.

My pleasure! I'm glad it worked out for you. For the user image, just add an image control and set the property like you did for the username and it should work for you. If you turn on modern controls, a header has been added that I believe already includes the logic to display the user image. That might save you some time 🙂
