Anyone familiar with gathering user metadata from Ignition? Think about this use case:
I am using API calls in ignition. The purpose of this is to interact with Jira Service Managements Restful API, providing our users with access to a help desk from inside the application. A user will be able to use a dolled up text field in order to describe their issue or comment. I will add check boxes for users to tick to further increase the automation I can do in JSM. (Think little boxes that say "graphic issue", "operation issue", alarm issue" etc.
We have a similar setup with our current application running on Aveva, but instead of using the API, that one just sends an email. That being said, in Aveva, we are able to grab SOME user data. This includes username, date, time, area, site, and device. I would like to do something like that in Ignition, grabbing as much data as I can, that I could then pass on as parameters via the API or via data payload.
Does anyone have any ideas or ways to point me in the right direction?
Any advice would be appreciated.
My goals are detailed below in this image. I have found system.perspective.getSessionInfo but it is missing most of what I need. I know that I can create a custom session property, but if I was to do this, I would need to create it for every object / screen in our system, and that is a lot of work.
