Hi
Greetings
How to capture a user name (Standard user name in CSWeb) in the exported data file.
Any function or method to capture this so when data is exported, the user name also comes in the data.
Please suggest.
Thanks and Regards

Re: CSWeb user name in exported data file
Hello,
If you want to capture a user's name during data entry, you need to either ask them their username on the form and record it to a field in the dictionary, or automatically set their name as a dictionary variable without putting that variable on the form. CSWeb user name is not associated with CSEntry, so it cannot be used automatically here. In the Examples folder that comes with CSPro, you can go to 1 - Data Entry\CAPI Census\Menu to find a menu application. This menu application uses operator IDs for Supervisors and Interviewers. When the interviewers are directed from the menu to the entry application, their operator IDs can be placed in the dictionary for the cases they collect. These IDs are generated and set in a staff lookup file, however you may want to adapt something similar using user's CSWeb usernames.
Hope this helps,
Justin
