DYNAMICS 365 ADD EMOJIS IN OPTION SETS

How professional to provide the end users, a user-friendly and easy interface, as well as meaningful and comprehensive layout.

Sometimes, you think that showing a visual effect is a better and more interesting way to help users in their daily work.

Here comes our topic of today, which is adding Emoji in Dynamics 365 and more specifically making the option-sets fields more attractive by displaying emojis in the option-set items.

This post will show you how to add emojis in Option-sets fields so you can make more attractive and pretty visual.

All you need is to simply get your emojis from a website like https://getemoji.com and a copy/paste into your option-set field.

For the sake of this post, I created a new option-set field Customer Satisfaction on the case entity that contains the below options:
  1. Very Satisfied
  2. Satisfied
  3. Neutral
  4. Unsatisfied
  5. Very Unsatisfied
Adding emojis to the option set is quite simple.
  1. Open the option-set field properties
  2. Scroll down to the list of options
  3. For each option set item, paste the emoji in the label part, with or without text
  4. Save the field properties
  5. Add the field to your form
  6. Save and Publish your customization

The emojis that you added in the option-set options will be reflected in the Views, Forms, Charts and Reports.
  • Emojis displayed in Views
    Emojis in option set view

Bonus Tip:

DYNAMICS 365 HOW TO HIDE RECENT RECORDS FOR LOOKUP FIELD IN UCI

Image
In UCI, a lot of behaviors have been changed comparing to the Classic Web Interface such as the tabs, BPF, and many others. Today, I will be talking about one of these behaviors which is the Recent Records in lookup fields. In a brief summary, the Recent Records feature will suggest the latest records that have been searched for, where the user can select one of them, and, the list of available records of the current view will then be displayed. This is a nice-to-have feature since it might help the users to speed up data entry. However, if the lookup has been filtered to display specific records, the Recent Records will not respect this filter and will keep showing records even is they should not. This scenario can lead to selecting a record by the user that is not allowed to be selected. Therefore, in this situation, it is better to hide the Recent Records t

SAVE FORM IN DYNAMICS 365 JAVASCRIPT

Image
In Dynamics 365, you may need to save a CRM form automatically in JavaScript upon a specific action on the form. In order to do that, the function formContext.data.save(saveOptions).then(successCallback, errorCallback); can be used to save the record asynchronously with callback functions to be executed after the save operation is completed. The following example will display a successful message if the save operation is completed, and a failure message if not. formContext.data.save(1).then( function () { alert("Successfully Saved!"); }, function () { alert("Failed while saving!"); });
