Displaying Full name of the of the User on the UI pages

Post by rainchua »

Hi,

We recently started a project in Profound, we got a requirement to display the Full name("User's Full Name") of the Logged In user.
Is there any predefined API for displaying the full name of the Logged In user (or) is there any alternative way to do it?

Thanks in Advance

Profound UI is just an application that runs in your web browser and HTTP server. It is not an operating system, and it does not track things like userids, passwords or other user account information.

The programs that you use together with your Rich Displays, such as RPG programs on IBM i or Node.js programs (cross-platform) are regular programs (not special Profound versions) and they can do anything that a program of their type is able to do. If the information you seek is available on the platform, you should be able to retrieve it in this type of program, and report it back to the user via a bound variable.
