Examples
Shows how to use the USERINITIALS field.
doc = aw.Document()
# Create a UserInformation object and set it as the source of user information for any fields that we create.
user_information = aw.fields.UserInformation()
user_information.initials = 'J. D.'
doc.field_options.current_user = user_information
# Create a USERINITIALS field to display the current user's initials,
# taken from the UserInformation object we created above.
builder = aw.DocumentBuilder(doc=doc)
field_user_initials = builder.insert_field(field_type=aw.fields.FieldType.FIELD_USER_INITIALS, update_field=True).as_field_user_initials()
self.assertEqual(user_information.initials, field_user_initials.result)
self.assertEqual(' USERINITIALS ', field_user_initials.get_field_code())
self.assertEqual('J. D.', field_user_initials.result)
# We can set this property to get our field to override the value currently stored in the UserInformation object.
field_user_initials.user_initials = 'J. C.'
field_user_initials.update()
self.assertEqual(' USERINITIALS "J. C."', field_user_initials.get_field_code())
