What are built-in functions?

Built-in functions are default variables available to be used throughout your forms. They can capture username of the person filling out the form, the first and last name of the user, their email address, OS type and more.

How do I capture the User ID instead of Username?

PLEASE NOTE: Added in iOS 8.27 and Android 8.1 release

To capture the User ID, please follow the instructions below. The User ID is different from the Username as it is created by the server.

STEP 1. Inside your form, add a Read-Only element to capture the User ID data. 

STEP 2. On the right-hand side, scroll down to the Smart Control section. In the Dynamic Value field, place the following:

iformbuilder.userID

PLEASE NOTE: You must capitalize the "ID" in userID in order for the function to work properly.

STEP 3. Save your form.

STEP 4. Test it using your device or Webforms.

Built-in Function Tip. To hide this element from the device, you can place the word false in the Condition Value field. This will still capture the information but will make it viewable only on the data side and not on the device side.
