I would like a form to populate data based on current user, but pull data from that person's AD entry as well.  I am able to have the form load with current user's Employee ID, but does anyone know a way to have the rest of the form expose information from Active Directory based on the Current User (taken from System Value)? Or is the GetUserDetails method only activated by a parameter input?  I am THINKING the rule should be something like "If Employee ID (from System Value) =MarkL, then GetUserDetails (List from Active Directory) for MarkL and list in View2"...?

 

 

Is this perhaps applicable?


 


OOTB there is an AD Service2 broker that connects to Active Directory and exposes the 'AD User' SmartObject.

The 'AD User' SmartObject it will have a 'Get User Details' method.


You can call this SmartObject on View initialize and pass it the current user and output the fields available from AD:




Hello and Thank you-

 

Yes, that is the ServiceObject Instance I was trying to use to populate the rest of the table. OOTB it requires one field as an input field (as far as I can tell?). I was hoping to get the rest of the form to populate using that ServiceObjectInstance after the Name is input from the System Value: Current User. So I was pulling Current User from System Values, then was trying to get the rest of the form to populate based on which current user.

 

Name: (from System Value: Current User) MarkL

 

   then>

 

GetUserDetails from ActiveDirectory for MarkL to populate:

 

Email: markl@*****.com

Pay Date:  11/23/2017

 

etc. for the rest of the form without having to input anything. The Form just generates all of this info based on the Current User.

 

(and there's a very good chance I'm making no sense with my level of experience in K2 :b)
