bsimmonds - you can put a button on a screen in Method that grabs the sessionID, using a Value From Session.

However, this is short-lived. When the user signs out, the sessionID will be invalid.

Using the Session ID

bsimmonds — Mon, 24 Mar 2014 21:10:09 GMT

We have recently been building an Excel Task Pane App for a client of ours and we would like to set it up so the user doesn't have to login everytime they want to access the method tables. We are successfully working with the data, but we want to eliminate that login entry for our end users everytime they are accessing the data within the same session. We have been reading in the documentation that a Session ID can be retreived and used by running an action (such as Assign Value to Action Result and using Value From Session: Session ID), but we have been unable to figure out exactly how to access that information at this point.

We were curious if anyome has worked with this in the past. We've been looking for some examples but haven't found any, nor have we found a deeper explanation on it. I'm sure it's easy but this is not something we have utilized in the past. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
