DYNAMICS 365 HTML WEB RESOURCE WEB INTERFACE VS UNIFIED INTERFACE

In this quick post, I will talk about two differences between the Web Interface and the Unified Interface when opening a HTML Web Resource in a new window.

These two differences are:
  1. Refresh the D365 opener of the html web resource
  2. Close the opened html web resource
In the Web Interface, we normally use the below functions to achieve the needed action:
  1. Refresh the D365 opener: opener.location.reload();
  2. Close the opened html web resource: window.close();
However, with the arrival of the Unified Interface, slight changes started to arise, especially for the JavaScript. Some of them are for the above actions.

Using the same JavaScript functions for the Unified Interface will not work. Fortunately, we can do a small tweak in the JavaScript code to make them work in the Unified Interface.

The beauty of it, that it will work for both the Web Interface and the Unified Interface.

By having the below lines of code to your JavaScript, will make you achieve the needed action:
  1. Refresh the parent D365 opener: window.top.opener.location.reload();
  2. Close the opened html web resource: window.top.close();


Hope This Helps!

DYNAMICS 365 REFERENCE PANEL

Dynamics 365 product team is always working to improve and give the best user experience. Therefore, the continuous evolutions of the different areas and possibilities are one of the most critical things to bring. In this post, I will talk about one of these user experience improvements which is Reference Panel that was introduced with the Dynamics 365 V9. So what is exactly a Reference Panel? The Reference Panel is a type of section that can be added to the form that allows users to move across different types of sub grids and quick view controls in a single place without scrolling down or up. Let's take the example of the account form, where many quick view forms and sub grids exist inside (contacts, recent cases and opportunities...). When the users enter the form, they have to scroll up and down through the form in order to check the sub grids and their data which is sometimes annoying for them. ...
