hi

i’m trying to recreate one of our modules using perspective and i need the username tag,  
just want to ask how come the username tag is null whenever i try to drag it or bind to it? I mean, I see a value on it but when its dragged on the designer its showing as **null**? is there anything else i need to add or modify?

This is under **System \> Client \> User \> Username**

I tried adding a login and viewed it on the perspective client on my phone and on the web but its still showing as null ☹

Perspective doesn’t have access to, or use, `[System]Client` tags. Use session props (configured on the “landing page” in Perspective) to perform the same purpose.

See the manual reference on available session properties:

If they are not accessible, perhaps they should not be shown when in ‘Perspective’ mode in the designer.
