Set Field from sessionStorage

[pphillips]

I am new to Radzen and tried to look for ths answer without much luck.

My goal is to set a field property on a table called UserId, which is the logged user id (guid).

What I have done so far is to add an hanlder after login (Then > Execute) and set a property called UserId,as per below. But my question is how do I set a field on a particular page/table using sessionStorage.getItem("UserId").

sessionStorage.setItem("UserId",event.Id);

Thank you
Paul.

But my question is how do I set a field on a particular page/table using sessionStorage.getItem("UserId").

Could you elaborate on your requirement? What exactly are you trying to do? You should be able to use a Set property action and set the Value to sessionStorage.getItem("UserId").

[pphillips]

All I am trying to do is set the UserId column of the logged in UserId so that I can track who created/updated a record.

What is the UserId column? You probably need to pass that as a parameter of the method you use to create / update a record. Radzen's built-in security already does that by providing the current user.

I have a table called Orders, in this table I have a UserId column. When I create a new record, I want to insert the UserId (not the name/email) from the logged-in user.

I am able to user "${security.user.name}" but this contains the email address, not the UserId.

You can probably use ${sessionStorage.getItem("UserId")} instead of ${security.user.name}

However if you are using Radzen's built-in security there are better and more secure ways to do that:

Get current user (Angular)

Here is how this is used in the Complete application tutorial:

Customize CRUD pages (Angular)

Finally you can check this thread which shows how to persist such history for more than one table:

User Information on Entities

We just released Radzen 2.12.1 which has the needed changes. Also we released the AuditTrail sample application. There are two custom files that you need to replicate in your application - server\Startup.Audit.cs and server\data\AuditTrailDbContext.Audit.cs (you should create a partial class for the DB context that Radzen has generated for your database). The actual logging is done in the Audit method. You can rename the properties that the sample is using to match your existing DB schema, per…

${sessionStorage.getItem("UserId")}

I might be doing something wrong here, but I keep getting the following error:
ng-cli:
ERROR in src/app/add-inspection/add-inspection-generated.component.ts(54,8): error TS1005: ';' expected.
src/app/add-inspection/add-inspection-generated.component.ts(54,14): error TS1005: ';' expected.

I am using the Set Property on Submit, Name = event.value.UserId, Value = ${sessionStorage.getItem("UserId")};
