Get username __Cloud not working?

[jbravman_]

So taking @mbarone's flow for getting username from workflows on the gallery but its not writing anything to our output. 

could this be something wrong with our Alteryx Gallery or something different?

Server running 2019.3.17947

Designer running 2019.1

TIA

Can you screen shot your configuration of the tools you're using?

@jbravman_ I would check your text box tool to be sure that the "Name" box is "__cloud:UserId". The annotation may show that but the name may be something autogenerated. The name doesn't copy over when you copy the text box tool.

that should work, unless i'm missing something from the screen shots.  can you mock up a YXWZ and attach it here?  note that you'll have to package it first, as YXWZ's can't be directly attached here.

Hi @srikant96! On the left side of the configuration, there are four icons (the gear, circle with an arrow, tag and circle with question mark). Select the third one (tag) called annotation. Then you can rename the tool.

Hi patrick_digan,

I used "__cloud:UserId" in text box and when i tried to run from gallery it gives me the encrypted user name instead of the Name of the user.

For example it gives me output "*0a556899609d1*" instead of my name "alt_tush"

could you please help me.

Thank you!
