Displaying a Username Repeatedly on a Form

How to display a username several places on a form

Use a data set to display information (such as the username) repeatedly on a form. Data sets allow you to populate a field with relevant data from another source applicable to a form. A data connection needs to be set up to retrieve the information from the primary source. Then you can create data sets of information that are pulled from that source to be used on a form. For detailed information about creating a data set, see Creating a Data Set.

To display a username repeatedly on a form, complete the following steps:

  1. Add a lookup input to the form, then click (Edit) to open the Edit Lookup window.
  2. Toggle on the Use Data Set option.
  3. From the Select Data Set Field drop down list, select the data set you want to use.
  4. Click OK to close the Edit Lookup window.
  5. Add additional lookup inputs to the form for which you want to display the username, then click (Edit) to open the Edit Lookup window.
  6. Toggle on the Use Data Set option.
  7. From the Select Data Set Field drop down list, select the data set you want to use.
  8. Toggle on the Use Default Value option and select Default Value from Another Field.
  9. From the Select Form Field drop down list, select the field from which you want to default the value.
  10. Click OK to close the Edit Lookup window.
  11. Click (Save) to save your changes to the form.
  12. Now when the user is completing the form on their device, his or her username will appear in the lookup fields where the data set and default value has been set up.
