URL Parameter - Not During Startup

Permanently deleted user

I understand how I can grab a url parameter during startup with a workflow, but how can I grab a url parameter after start up when a user starts a workflow. 

 

Example: I have some failry complicated forms our projects utilize to collect data, and I have been working to make minimize the amount of typing our users have to do in them. I am currently passing the username from the login page to the viewer in the url "&username=LoggedInUser". 

 

All I am wanting to do is to take the username parameter and populate the a text box in my form. This saves the user time when completing the form as they don't need to enter their name. 

 

Any ideas?

  I seem to do this everytime I post a question. Answer my own question. 

   

  None the less here is my solution. (I as trying to get the url parametet value from "username")

   

  - I used GetBrowserUrl and saved it as a string a variable named url

   

  - Used Assign and set object named urlParameter = url.substring(url.lastIndexOf("username=") +9)

   

  - Tested with an alert of urlParameter.ToString() and it works great.

  Does Get Current User not work for you?

   

  Otherwise, just get the Query String from the Get Browser Url, and do nameValueCollection1("username")
