How to check if a person in a control field found on my Nintex form is equal to a specific user?

Question: How to check if a person in a control field found on my Nintex form is equal to a specific user?

Overall Goal: Understand how to use userEquals(single login, single login) function in a form rule

Example:

- I have a SharePoint list that contains various columns including one called, "thisPerson" of type person or group. FYI our SharePoint is connected to the active directory.

- In my custom Nintex form, the user will enter in a name of person and select the appropriate person from the directory.

I want to check if this person is equal to a specific person "Joe Smith" who is also in the active directory. Joe Smith has a username (userjs) and a SharePoint profile.

I have tried:

userEquals(thisPerson, "Joe Smith")

userEquals(thisPerson, userjs)

userEquals(thisPerson, "userjs")

userEquals(thisPerson, userProfileLookup("domain\userjs", "UserName"))

Any suggestions would help! Thanks!

[emha · Accepted solution]

either of following should work

userEquals(thisPerson, "domain\\userjs")

userEquals(thisPerson, "claim|domain\\userjs")

hint: if you are not sure what the content of a variable/field is (eg. thisPerson), place a calculated value control on the form and set its formula to that variable.
