Detailed Information
With Advanced Placeholder, you are even more dynamic with your Services.
So you can use the Logged-in User or the Result from a Question to limit the Result to a different Question.
Advanced Placeholder are available for the following Question types
- SQL Question type
- LDAP Question Type (since 4.1)
SQL Question Type Example
- We have created the following SQL Table.

- No, we create a new Service and configure our SQL Question Type, as you see here.

- Now, click on the “+” Sign and select {LOGGED_IN_SAMACCOUNTNAME}

- as a result, your Query should look like this

- If you start a Request with your new Service and logged in as “SeidlM” you will see this 4 Result only

LDAP Question Type Example
The best Example is to show User/Group Memberships.
So configure Question 1 – Select User as you see on the Screenshot.

Question 2 – Choose Group – should list all Groups of the selected User from Question 1

As a result, when selecting a User, the Second Question only shows the Groups where the User is a Member.
