Getting QlikView to show who is accessing the document

Hello,

Could you advise if it is possible/how to achieve the following?

We use the accesspoint to access the documents within QlikView, where they are prompted to enter credentials, is it then possible to show within an application/document who is currently viewing it?

I.e. J Bloggs logs onto the Access Point and opens application A, on the homepage in application A you could have a text field that displays: "Hello J Bloggs", which would change depending on who is logged on?

You're help with this would be most appreciated!!

Kind Regards,
Dayna

That's perfect, many thanks Gordon!

Could you identify what's the difference between OSUser and QVUser, I get results for OS but none for QV, was just curious if this was to do with my setup...

Many thanks!

Kind Regards,
Dayna

OSUser is the userid from the Operating System, QVUser is the userid as entered in the username challenge to a document controlled by Section Access.
