How to Get Logged in UserName on top left of top bar in responisve layout?

0
Hi All, I want to display the current logged in user’s name on responsive layout topbar. I was approaching via the following steps:- Created a Snippet with Data View Inside it having the dataSource as a Microflow. 2.Created the microflow with parameter as Administrator.Account & Used Cast Object method & returned the Object of Entity Account(of Administrator). 3.Inside the Snippet, in the dataview connected the FullName attribute via connector. 4.Used a snippet call in layout  page but getting error. I would like to know if anyone has used a snippet in a layout page that contains an entity. When I place a snippet in the layouts page I get the following error: 'The snippet expects an entity and should be used in the context of an entity (e.g. within a dataview'.) The problem is that the use of dataviews within layouts is not possible. Has anyone got any suggestions to get around this?

You are nearly there. You should remove the input parameter and retrieve the currentuser in the microflow.

Another note, I would not recommend an input field on your page if you are not going to edit the attribute.

You can use a text wit a parameter

  1. Put your text box inside data view widget.
  2. Provide entity to data view.(User from system)
  3. Create a Microflow returning current user and assign this as source to Data view
  4. Finally edit caption of text box and add parameter of User Name.
