Hello All,

On server side there is an API that returns the currently logged in user's id:

gs.getUserID()

don't forget to convert it into a string; e.g:

'' + gs.getUserID()

Another API will get you the user's name:

'' + gs.getUser().fullName

Use that APIs in the Server script of the widget to add the information to global object data. Than bind those properties to relevant attributes of the directive used for reference field.

This depends on the directive used.

Let us know which is it, so we can say how to bind the default value to it; or look at examples in existing widgets, for how the default value is set.

For example, if you will be using <sn-record-picker />, you can initialize its value by adding properties displayValue and value to the object set as field:

- in Body HTML template:

<sn-record-picker field="loggedInUser"/>

- in Client controller:

$scope.loggedInUser = {
	displayValue: c.data.loggedInUser.displayValue,
	value: c.data.loggedInUser.value
};

- in Server script:

data.loggedInUser = {
	displayValue: '' + gs.getUser().fullName,
	value: '' + gs.getUserID()
};

Hello @-O- As you know I am very new to the service portal can you tell me how to bind data?

<input type="text "ng-bind="data.logged-in user">

is the above single-line code correct?If possible please share the script so I can understand better.

Thank You.

The value of attribute ng-bind must be valid JavaScript (object property).

And data.logged-in user is not valid JavaScript.

You need something like

 data.logged_in_user

or

 data.loggedInUser
