Info

There is a similar demo on tracking last updated time together with a last updater: Tracking user and last updated time


Accessing this fields is the same as accessing the fields you define

For example, consider a simple form like this:

Image Added

ConfiForms Form Definition
formNamef
sashINLINE


mytextfieldMy text fieldtext


We can build a simple CardView over it's data and to show a createdBy field in addition to defined "mytextfield"

Image Added

ConfiForms CardView
formNamef

mytextfield

createdBy



Info

However, ConfiForms does NOT track the last updater by default, but it can be easily added


We will use the same form, add a hidden field to store the last updater and update this field with IFTTT on record create and record update

Modifying the CardView like this:
