How to add username to Homepage Search in Service Portal

[stevecrocker]

How can I add the logged on username to the Homepage Search in the service portal.  I'm looking everywhere and don't see how to accomplish this. 

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks

Hi,

Html code:

<div class="jumbotron">
   <h1>{{c.data.msg}}, {{c.data.name}}</h1>
</div>


Client side:

function($rootScope) {
   var c = this;
   c.data.name = $rootScope.user.name;
   c.data.msg = 'Welcome';
}

We have a title widget available on ServicePortal.io that can help you with this. It does not embed the search widget, but it's easier to configure the homepage if you directly use the typeahead search anyway.

Nathan , thanks for that.  I have a question.  How do I install this?  I've looked around and can't seem to find a how-to-install guide is there one and I'm blind or could you offer me some assistance.   That is exactly what I'm looking for.
