The following sections contain ArcGIS Arcade expressions that allow you to access the history of work performed on a job. This includes obtaining results from specific steps, webhooks, and the last person assigned to a step. These expressions don't attach files or logs to a job, but they can be used to guide the workflow, assign steps to specific users or groups, and access specific types of output values.
LastRunner
The LastRunner expression returns the username of the last person who ran the specified step. This expression is typically used in workflows that include a quality assurance or quality control review in which work may need to be redirected back to the person who originally performed edits to resolve issues that were identified during the review process.

| Name | Explanation | Data type |
|---|---|---|
job_id | The ID of the job. | String |

Output
Returns a string value of the username of the last person who ran the specified step.
