User context references
App Studio offers the possibility to create personalized apps using the runtime user context.
With this feature you can provide a more personal experience for your users. For example, you can have a personal welcome message for every logged in user, or pass in the current user email ID the to the RPA process.
CurrentUser. . A list of available properties unfolds:
- DisplayName
-
Retrieves the display name of the current user.
- FirstName
- Retrieves the first name of the current user.
- LastName
- Retrieves the last name of the current user.
- Retrieves the email of the current user.
- Groups

The following example shows how to build a welcome message addressed to the logged in user.

In Apps Studio, add a Label display control.

For the Text property, open the Expression editor by clicking the "tune" icon
.
-
Create your welcome message by concatenating the message string and the current user property, as follows:
"Welcome " + CurrentUser.DisplayName"Welcome " + CurrentUser.DisplayName -
Preview your app. You should be seeing your message, followed by your display name, as you are previewing the app from your account.
