Request - 3 more pre-defined variables in Dashboards

Sure thing! I can get those added

Do you have a timeline / version number these variables will be added?

Also, $Identity would be nice to have available in Dashboards too. Currently it only exists in the API scope.

Thanks!

These will be available in 2.3.0 which will be released September 14th. We’ve moved to a monthly release for all products on the second Tuesday of the month.

I’ll check on the $Identity variable. I thought that had been added to dashboards but maybe we have a bug there.

I can’t seem to get the variables $Identity or $UserName working with my PSU Dashboard instance. Currently running a nightly build from 10/12 (2.5.0).

What variables do I have access to in Dashboards? Is it different than the list on Docs?

Also, I’m running my Authorization through OIDC with an Azure App.

You can use this to look up all variables in your dashboard:

    $Data = Get-Variable | Select Name, Value
    New-UDTable -Data $Data

Also, the docs had the wrong variable (fixed). It should be $User not $UserName. I don’t see $Identity referenced but I’m assuming you’re looking for $ClaimsPrincipal.

I got $user to work - thanks for the sample code to get variables in a dashboard session. I’m definitely going to save that for later

Hi.
I’m trying to use $DashboardName in an app in psu 4.0 but no matter what I do it is empty. Any idea what could cause that? It should contain the value of the name setting of the app, right?

Dashboards was renamed Apps in 4.0

Did you try to check if there was another variable with the data you need?

$Data = Get-Variable | Select Name, Value
New-UDTable -Data $Data

Thanks. Found the fault. I did my test in the code of the app but not inside the code of a page, seems that variable isn’t set then. Doing the same thing inside the contents of a page works fine.
