Get Employee ID Plugin

Click here to download this plugin with source code See Demo Video

This plugin returns Employee ID in [CX.EMP.EMPID] when [CX.EMP.USERID] is set to the user ID. It returns "ERROR" in case of errors, and an Error debug trace is made, which can be observed in either the Debug Log or via Loan Debugger.
