DYNAMICS 365 HOW TO SHOW/HIDE OPEN VIEW BUTTON OF SUBGRID

When adding a sub-grid components on a form, the sub-grid will have many action buttons that are displayed in the top right corner like the Add button New Record button and the Open view button Open Associated View button.

This post will focus on how to Show Hide the Open Associated View button

The function of this button is to open the displayed records in the associated view. Sometimes you need to hide this button while other times it is hidden and you want to show it. So what is the reason of this behavior and how to show / hide this button

I will work on the Account > Contacts relationship to clarify this behavior where the button is displayed on the Contacts sub-grid of the Account form

In order to show the button in the contact sub-grid, you have to add the contact entity to the navigation area of Account form and remove the contact entity from the navigation area in order to remove it from the sub-grid.
show hide associated View 1

In the Classic interface, if the Contact entity is added to the Navigation area the button will be displayed and once clicked, it will open the associated View.

If the contact entity is not added to the Navigation area of the form, the button will be totally hidden and you cannot access the Associated View.
show hide associated View 2

In the UCI, if the entity is added to the Navigation area, the button See associated records will be displayed and once clicked, the Associated View of the contact entity will be displayed.

If the entity is removed from the Navigation area, the button See all records will be displayed and once clicked, the main View of the Contact entity will be displayed.
show hide associated View 3


Hope This Helps!

DYNAMICS 365 REFERENCE PANEL

Image
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. ...
