Prefill Fields Using User Profile

Prefill Fields utilizing the User's Profile

One of the benefits of utilizing Single Sign On (SSO) for Dynamic Forms, is that certain basic information from the User's Profile can be passed to the form and pre-populated for ease of use for the end user.

The following fields can be populated based on the User Profile information:

  • First Name
  • Last Name
  • Full Name
  • Email 
  • EmployeeStudent
  • Manager
  • StudentID

If you use the prefill option detailed below, do not mark the field as required, as it causes a glitch within Dynamic Forms.
