Viewing session variables

[JJack]

Hi,

I've added a branch in a capture based on a Session variable. It's not behaving as I would expect.
Is there a way I can display the Session variables?

In general, how do I know what type of condition I should be using?
For example, for Session->Users Manager Name, how do I know what kind of value to enter? If I look at a user's details in platform configuration, there is no field labelled 'Name', and the 'handle' value didn't work, nor our id fields.

I can display the Global variable, user.managerName but using that in a condition as Users Manager Name doesn't work.
(Haven't found any helpful documentation, any links to that would be appreciated).
The variables I seem to be able to choose from in a capture for a 'Goto If' are shown in the screenshot.

The documentation on captures, Intelligent Capture Designer (hornbill.com), has a section on Global Variables, which mentions two, portal type and source.
It also has a list of variables to 'personalise' the capture, so apparently not of use for branching.
This capture documentation doesn't seem to describe any details about branching on the 'Session' variables, I just picking what's available from the dropdown within a capture.

Thanks, Jill.

Hi @JJack

Thanks for your post.

The Session->User Name is looking at the field titled Handle on a users profile.  I've tested this on a branch node and has been working for me.

I also tested the Session->Users Manager Name and I too was having some mixed results on the path that it takes.  I will continue to test and I have also mentioned this to the development team to see if they can clarify how this should be working.

I notice that Session->Users Manager Name is working for me today, I can specify a 'handle' in the condition.

I assume this follows update Hornbill Core UI (2202), many thanks!

Hi @JJack

Thanks for the feedback and letting us know that this is now working for you.  Your assumption is correct that this was fixed in that last update.
