Hello Message on App Homepage

[katlego_lionel]

Hi everyone,

Would it be possible to display a logged in user and welcome message in appsheet on a homepage

• (e.g. Hello, John Doe)

The name should change as per logged in user.

Please see attached image for reference, look forward to your feedback.

Regards

Hi @katlego_lionel !

You should move this to the Questions category to get more eyes on it.

To answer your question…you may want to take a look at the Onboarding view. I think it can do what you are asking.

UX View Type: Onboarding

Provides a set of introductory pages for onboarding users.

Hi @katlego_lionel

You can use the Dashboard view to create something similar, I created it like this.

Hey Alex, this look really cool…I will try it this way too.

Does it display a welcome message? Can’t make out what those words are, not sure which language it is

Thanks again.

Thank you @katlego_lionel, it’s Spanish

In the first section, depending on the time, it shows a welcome message (good morning, good afternoon, good night).

The second section is for notifications, it only appears when I send a message to some user.

And the third section is the options for entering information.

Wow, that’s great…I like the functionality. It really is a great app.

Thank you for your time Alex,

Best regards

Current_User (Slice) - How to conform your app around WHO is using the app Tips & Tricks 💡

One of the core basic functions, included in just about EVERY app I make, is the ability for the app to know WHO is using the app. If the app knows who’s using it, then I can easily control many different aspects of the app: Add/edit/delete permissions How data should be filtered What views are shown What buttons, or Actions, are visible Which workflows should fire off Which columns should be shown or editable etc. Requirements To accomplish this functionality in your app, you need the follo…

Hi, thanks for your reply MV.

I’ve seen a few of your videos on your YouTube channel, especially that Public App (with private data). I saw you were able to create a profile and display user name in ux view, I’m also trying to achieve something similar.

I’d like to be able to create a profile as well and have the user name displayed.

I got a bit confused with the all those expressions.
