Ws.CurrentUser

Winshuttle Designer Controls

The Ws.CurrentUser control allows you to capture details related to the user who is currently working on the form. In addition, you can enable Auto Refresh to force-update the fields with the Current User with the form open. This is most useful if you don’t require the Current User Fields to always remain filled with the Originators information.
