Submit point user to email

Is there a way so that when a user logs onto Submit Point that username can look up their email address to send information back to so they don't have to pick their email from a list? I'm sure this is a basic question but I can't seem to get it to work.
Thanks,

Look at the variables and the Connection group, there you have Connection.email

This is what the manual says:
https://www.enfocus.com/manuals/UserGui ... group.html
And the description in the "Define text with variables" says this: The email of the user who initiated the connection. This variable is only valid if there is a SwitchClient connection, therefore it can only be used as default value for a metadata field in a Submit point or Checkpoint
So you have to have a field in the submit point that you get the
Connection.email value as the default value.
Apparently you can't pick it up later in the flow.

Is this what you want?
Set Submit Properties
Attach User as email info
The attachment Screenshot 2019-03-03 11.23.19.png is no longer available
User settings needs to have the email filled in.

It's then is accessible as variable.

When defining a user in Switch you can also set the users e-mail address.
That information will show up as the variable Job -> UserEmail

I've done all those ways but for some reason it still doesn't pick up the email. I was hoping maybe I was missing something in the settings. Thanks for all your help. I'll look back through and see if I missed something wouldn't surprise me if I did.
Thanks,

I found out what I was doing wrong. Putting the variable in the wrong spot on the form. Stupid me
