Display Client Name in Zoho Creator Client Portal Dashboard

Display Client Name in Zoho Creator Client Portal Dashboard

Hello Zoho Creator Team,
We hope you are doing well.

Zoho Creator recently introduced the option to set a client’s display name in the Client Portal settings, which is very helpful for providing a personalized portal experience. However, there is currently no way to use that client name inside the Creator Portal Dashboard or pages.

At the moment, we can use in the portal ${zoho.loginuserid}, but this displays the email address of the portal user rather than their configured client name. We can also use ${zoho.loginuser} - But this also will not show the name but rather his email without the domain.  This creates a less professional experience, especially on dashboards and portal home screens where personalization is important.

Requested Enhancement

Please add a system variable or parameter that makes it possible to display the portal user’s name (as configured in the Client Portal user details) in Creator pages, headers, and dashboards.

Why This Is Needed?

  1. Improves branding and personalization in client-facing portals.
  2. Creates a professional user experience by greeting users by name rather than email.
  3. Helps build customer trust and engagement in portal applications.
  4. Eliminates the need for complex workarounds or duplicate user data.

Thank you for your continued enhancements to Zoho Creator. We appreciate your support and look forward to seeing this addition in the platform.

Best regards,
Ram
