Token Use in Query Filter Prompt

[BuckeyeScott]

I have an RFx query that includes the 'Document Owner' as one of the filter prompt parameters. I would to set the default value for this parameter to the individual's name that is executing the query.

I have tried using %CURRENT_USER_NAME% as the default value. However, that doesn't work. Any ideas?

Note: The parameter is flagged as optional.

I'm trying this in a 7.0 SP01 Patch 8 system.

Thanks, Scott

Hi,

We had achieved such a requirement via Scripting. This was done on a collection such that whoever was adding a value in a particular collection, we were fetching the name of that user and displaying it on the UI upon Save context.

Though am not sure how this can work in a Query itself. Though there is a way to default a filter field to None. You can refer that in the link below:

Hi Scott,

Unfortunately, it is not possible to set the "current user" as the default value in the query parameter. The CURRENT_USER_NAME token is not supported in this context.

Thanks Vikram. I think it would be very helpful to be able to default either the current user ID or current user name in a query parameter. Hopefully this is an enhancement that SAP will consider for a future version of the software.
