DISCUSSION

You can call this method to close and reopen your application when the unit is in multi-user mode and the current user changes. You need to call this method only if your application is currently displaying data for a user when the user is changed. For example, if it is displaying a clock or some other data that is not associated with a particular user, then you don't need to call this method.

Call this method like this:

 GetRoot().HomePage:MultiUserSwitch(myAppSymbol);
