Command:

/u:UserLoginName

Description:

Used to supply the user login id.

Arguments:

UserLoginName

Note, there are two macros that you can use instead of hard coding the user login name:

&SYS_WindowsLoggedInUser

Using this option will retrieve the login name used to log into Windows on this machine.

&SYS_CMLoggedInUser

Using this option will retrieve the login name used to log into the currently running instance of GoldMine.

Note, these macros may be of limited use since the QuoteWerks user login name is the name that is displayed as the SalesRep on quotes, so we typically recommend that you use the user’s full name rather than their initials so that on the quotes, the sales reps full name will be displayed on the quote otherwise initials like JCL are somewhat cryptic for a sales rep name.

Example:

/u:”John Lewe”

/u: &SYS_WindowsLoggedInUser

/u: &SYS_CMLoggedInUser
