# Logged in Users Information

This is a simple, yet very popular and very useful field. Its a field that saves information about the user who is logged in as a field value. There are currently two options, either show the username or show the name that has been set to that username.<br>

![In this example, the Full Name has been chosen as the value for the field.](https://1186088597-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2F-MSr2uF2m-DtSpCxknCK-887967055%2Fuploads%2FKn321XCjHjnCFz6ID7Lx%2Fimage.png?alt=media\&token=400aa93e-382c-49dc-b09b-d0f62960acca)
