Hello all, I need to store some user details  (variables) such as the user's ID, his manager's ID etc. In a classic web app, I would store these in a session variable, how can I do it here?

 

I read some comments about using a smart object for that, but smart object is just a data table and I don't want to read from this table each time I refresh a page. What options do I have?

 

If I could for example write the desired value in the SystemValues.CurrentUser.Name object, that would work fine, but does not seem like I can write to these SystemValue objects?

Thanks

    Hello,


     


    Since smartforms are stateless by design, you would need to create a SmartObject to reference these variables. You could also create SmartObjects that reference an SQL database that stores IDs.

    OK, that means I need to hit the SQL server (through smart object) each page refresh which is what I was hoping to avoid

    thank you
