Hands on 1 - displaying a logged-in user ID

Let's start with an example: Sara Bareilles is working as a system administrator in Universal Containers. She wants to develop a Flow to display logged-in user IDs on a Screen element. To develop the Flow, follow these instructions:

  1. Navigate to Setup | Build | Create | Workflow & Approvals | Flows.
  2. Click on the New Flow button; it will open the Flow canvas for you.
  3. Navigate to the Resources tab, double-click on Formula available under the CREATE NEW section, and create a formula as shown in the following screenshot:
For best practice, in this book we will use  For as the prefix for Formula . In the preceding formula, we have used user global variables. For the complete list of global variables, visit  http://www.salesforce.com/docs/developer/pages/Content/pages_variables_global.htm.

4. Click on the OK button and then navigate to the Palette tab.
