How to reference name and surname of a user in CommCare

commcare

I would like to know how to reference in a hidden value the first and last name of a mobile worker in CommCare.

I researched and I was able only to reference the username and location name, but can't find the exact one for first and last name.

In order to do this you need to use something called Custom User Data. In the calculate condition of your hidden variable you can use an expression like this:

instance('commcaresession')/session/user/data/commcare_first_name

And for the last name you can use:

instance('commcaresession')/session/user/data/commcare_last_name

The documentation will show you other examples of how to access things like the user's phone number.

CommCare – How to Filter Instances by Case Property

If you're filtering cases, you want an expression that ultimately returns a set of cases. The first part of the expression, instance('casedb')/casedb/case, gives you all cases on the phone.

The expressions in square brackets then filter the cases by case type, parent (you're limiting to cases that are children of the "current" case, which is the one you selected from the case list), and open/closed.

[@case_type='Indicators']
[index/parent=current()/@case_id]
[@status='open']

The /[contractions_dur = 'low'] is what's throwing the error. The / says to go another level deep, but I suspect what you want is to just add the contractions_dur as a fourth constraint, on the same level as the others. So try dropping the slash: instance('casedb')/casedb/case[@case_type='Indicators'][index/parent=current()/@case_id][@status='open'][contractions_dur = 'low']

Setting up organization-based access to worker monitoring reports and data exports in CommCare

This normally requires a Pro Plan to setup for your project. I think your project may have an older version of the Pro Plan and needs to updated to the newest one. Once that's done, Cory's solution will work.
