Is there any way to collect the name of the user that ran an app in the gallery?

Currently users type their name in a free text box, which is appended to a database to track entries associated with each run. I would prefer to identify the user based on their login to the gallery vs. a self-reported value. Is this possible?

Hi @ddiesel ,

Hope all is well with you!

You can definitely find this info in the Mongo database but when I run the Alteryx Server Usage Report workflow, it generates a spreadsheet called App Executions that lists the app and its runner, time they ran it, execution time, results, etc.

You could either use this or dig around macro embedded in the Alteryx Server Usage Report workflow to figure out where it is pulling the data from.

Hopefully this helps.

The Alteryx Server Usage Report workflow is exactly what I needed. 

Many thanks, Maureen!
