I would like to add a block to the landing page (Dashboard) with a welcome message using the username like "Welcome back Username". Is there a way to do this? If so, can someone share the HTML code?

Re: HTML code to show the username
Hi, attached is what our landing page looks like. It is using an HTML block with this coding.
Hi {alternatename}
Welcome to GEM,
Diamond's Learning Portal.
Hope this helps.

Hi Sue,
Thank you very much for your reply. I tried adding this to the block, but it didn't work.
Can you please send me the complete HTML code for the block?

Re: HTML code to show the username
Hi Suhaz,
The coding is just like this:
<h3>Hi {alternatename}</h3><h3>Welcome to GEM,<br>Diamond's Learning Portal.</h3>
Alternatename is a field we have populated in the Users Accounts under Additional names. The block was originally created for us by our external partner so I am not sure if they had to do anything in the setup to allow that field to be recognised.

Re: HTML code to show the username
Hi everyone, thanks for discussing this idea, I find it very good to "personalise" the wellcome dashboard. Unfortunately this HTML code didn't work in my HTML block. I still see 
although I posted: <h3>Hi {alternatename}, Welcome to</h3> in the HTML view
Is there any way to make this work?
Thanks!
Best regards,
Senka

Hi Senka
That looks like it is using the filtercodes plugin.
I can't give you any more information than this though.
