Hello all,
I understand if this is a redundant issue but I have local sign in system with an ignition project. Person setup the names in a data set(400+) names and they are looking to have a manual sign in feature. So, looking for a script that would take the value(alphanumeric characters) entered in the text field and query the data set if it is there. I feel like there are simple functions to this but still a little new to scripting. Looking for any type of direction please
