I have a C# .net 4.5 website where users select certain data fields and then they get generated and the user can download the data.
There is a new feature management wants me to add that will allow users to select any field even if there are fields that do not go together and when the user submits this job I have to split out the fields and generate however many jobs it takes to create them.
Without having to change my entire back end process I wanted to store the users selections in a data table in memory and when they submit I can loop through the table and submit the jobs accordingly.
What would be the best way to have a data table that will be alive during the entire user session? Should I create it as a session variable? The user can come back and add or remove from it at anytime while on the site.
Thank you

In my site the guest users have access to the flow and they able to run the flow and even create records. When the flow try to find the created record the next error accrue:
Because Get_Record is passed to an action, subflow, or Lightning component, store the values of all Request_for_ChemTox__c fields that the running user has access to.
I gave access to every field for that user and still keep getting this error.
Any ideas?
It's probably not field level security (~table columns) but whole record's security (~table rows).
Check your site/community/experience settings as described in this article: https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=000352970&type=1. If there's something set - the ownership of created record is immediately transferred over to that internal user and guest loses visibility. It sucks but it's there to protect you, makes sure that if you have for example Leads or Cases submitted by guest users - they immediately "disappear", guest/hacker can't report on them, experiment with IDs in the url to learn other people's data...
You can Check Setup -> Sharing Settings for this object and create new sharing rule. (I can't upload image right now but start making new sharing rule with step 2 "rule type = Guest user access, based on criteria")

If you’d like to create a different experience for guest users, use
flows in System Mode to redirect guest users to a different custom

I need to do the following tasks in CakePHP 3:
Logout users manually
Limit the number of sessions to one per user
I'm using database sessions to accomplish that. Is it possible to save additional data in sessions table? If yes, could you give me an example please?
The session database model is a cake model like all the other models, which means you can interact with it, in the same way, by adding new columns to that table and/or deleting sessions if needed. Use the model object to update delete entities in that table (I assume you're talking about cakephp 3.x)
Limiting the number of sessions to one per user can be tricky as sessions are created even if a user is not logged in. So you will have "user-less" sessions in your database as well.
Suggested way to tackle this
When a user logs in, get the current session ID and find the row in the session table that needs to be updated to include the username
At this time you may also want to delete the other rows that have the same user name, effectively destroying all the other sessions for this user.
I'm trying to get the current logged (in my app) user in every winform of my app, but I don't know how to differentiate between multiple logged users in the app.
I have an ActiveUsers SQL Table with SessionID and UserID to identify a single user.
Also how can I close the session (delete the userid from the ActiveUsers table) if the app is terminated abnormally?
Any help?
Edit: The app is composed of several winforms and is intended to run in multiple Pcs at the same time. Users are created in the application and stored in SC_User table with UserID as PK. The ActiveUsers table has UserID as FK and SessionID as PK. What i want is to get the UserID of the user using the applicattion in any winform and use it to for example change the app language preference of the that user. For a single user i insert the UserID in the ActiveUsers when login and delete when logoff.
Keeping application-wide data is quite easy. All you have to do is add either a static (shared in vb.net) class or a singleton class to your project and store the application-wide data there. (Extra read: differences between singleton and static)
As for the second question, You don't really have a way to know if the client is closed without proper logout. What you do in these cases is implement a keep-alive mechanism.
A simple implementation would be to add another column to your session table to keep track off the time stamp when the logged in user was last active (usually a timer inside that static/singleton class will be in charge of updating this column every x time, and once the difference between this column and the current datetime is big enough, you can safely assume that the application is closed without proper logout.
You can even run a scheduled job on your sql server to delete the records on the session table where the application is closed without proper logout if you want to.
I have a model class 'Shop' with a related database table. The table is large and we are changing the way the clients load the data.
Up until now, mobile clients would just retrieve the whole table and reload the list in app, but now developers started to work with local memory, so they would not have to reload all records every time.
So from them I expect to get a timestamp of when a user has last logged in and check if any records have been added/updated after that and return the new/updated data, but I just do not know where to start from.
I would like to create an email workflow using an Access Web DB form to manage holiday requests. The user will create a request from the form, save it - which triggers the SendMail data macro, ideally with a link in it for the approver to click and go to the approval form filtered to the correct request ID.
Does anybody know:
a) If it is possible to load the form in the browser filtered at the specific record ID. I have tried appending ?ID=1 to the form URL and so on, without any joy so far.

b) If possible, what steps do I need to go through to get it working?
This is an Access 2010 web database hosted on a heavily bespoke Sharepoint platform. Any help appreciated.
I have worked it out, using:
?Page={ID}
However, the one caveat with this is that if you delete a record then the page number refers to the records position in the table, not specifically the ID. If you can ensure that records are never deleted from the table it will remain aligned with Page number and ID number.
Its a bit of a pain, but if anyone finds a way of referencing ID directly that would be the ideal solution.
You can also use something along the lines of:
http://...sp_site_path.../default.aspx#Type=Form&Path=NavForm.Subform&Name=ActualForm&DataMode=Edit&Where=%3DID%3D1000
I believe the key part here is...
&Where=%3DID%3D1000
...which in this case refers to the database field [ID] and record 1000, ie:
[ID]=1000
The rest of the URL is refers to a specfic form within your site, however is you only have one, it is potentially not important for your purpose, and you would be able to get by with something like:
http://...sp_site_path.../default.aspx#Where=%3DID%3D1000
Since all my sites use navigation pages, I haven't tested this out
