Hello,

I need to assign username from the current user to the text field in the project. I use the function "user" but all times it gives me back value "ANONYMOUS". We are small callcentrum and our telephonists fill-in the information in projects. It would be fine if I could see, how much records have done each of the telephonists. So I added text field telephonist to the project and want to autofill this field using function user.
(http://www.techonthenet.com/oracle/functions/username.php)
Each of the telephonists log into the project using his own username and password and I dont know, why this function gives me back value ANONYMOUS.

I am not familiar with apex yet, by the way, so please if you could help me...I would be grateful.

"user" is a pseudo column just like sysdate. The Apex variable holding the Apex user name used during Apex login is APP_USER.
