Configuring the first, last and username in a layout

Introduction

This article explains how to configure user-related fields, such as first name, last name, and username, within a layout in VertiGIS Studio Desktop (ArcGIS Pro) and the VertiGIS Studio Printing Designer. By setting up these fields correctly, you can dynamically include user information in your printed outputs.

How to add user-specific fields in VertiGIS Studio Desktop

1. Open your layout in ArcGIS Pro

2. Navigate to Insert → Studio Layout Editor → Function Field

3. Choose the desired fields (Creator, First Name and/or Last Name)

4. Insert the field to the desired location in the layout

Adding these function fields to the ArcGIS Pro layout will result in the addition of two text fields (one for the caption and one for the value). If you don't want the caption field, it can be removed.

How to add user-specific fields in VertiGIS Studio Printing Designer

1. Open your layout in the VertiGIS Studio Printing Designer

2. Open the Parameters List

3. Add the following parameters for the first and last name:

   • First Name: Description: {user_given_name_value} | Value: <user_given_name_value>

   • Last Name: Description: {user_sur_name_value} | Value: <user_sur_name_value>

For the username you can add a 'Page Info' element from the Control Bar and change the 'Page Information' setting to User Name.

These fields will then be automatically populated in VertiGIS Studio Web.
