Get logged in Username

BrianBulla1

Hi,

Just back from the Dev Summit and thought I'd start diving into FieldMaps. So I'm creating my first form and want to AutoPopulate the "USERNAME" field with that of the logged in user. I'm assuming I need to use Arcade to do this, but I have no clue what the code would be.

In QuickCapture this was super easy. Can anyone advise?

Thanks!

I used this from another post, in my case, I needed to strip only the userID number part from the whole text as the field I was populating was a number field.

var p = Portal('https://www.arcgis.com');

var textfield = GetUser(p);

var numbers = "";

for (var i = 0; i < Count(textfield.username); i++) {

var char = Mid(textfield.username, i, 1);

if (IsNan(Number(char)) == false) {

numbers += char;

}

return Number(numbers);

Would be nice if they fixed that...

Be careful with this if you plan to take Field Maps offline. FullName, FirstName, and LastName do not work while offline. username however, does work.

Another configuration would be to enable editor tracking in Map Viewer, which I believe adds the fields: [Creator, Creator Date, Editor, Edit Date] to your feature layer where you want to add/edit features. These fields populate from signed in AGOL or Enterprise Portal user credentials. After you enable editor tracking, to add the fields, you can then configure and utilize the fields in Field Maps Designer form view and elsewhere.
