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 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

Is it possible to search for a CRM record using its GUID ? Well, NO it is not possible and YES it is possible!!! As always has been, it is not possible to search for a record by its guid in Advanced Find and in the Quick view search. However, in the model-driven app Edit filters functionality, it is possible to search for a record by its Guid. How it works, let's check the 3 different places where we can search for a records. Advanced Find search Using the Advanced find feature, you cannot put a GUID value to search for. You will directly receive an error notification eventhough when you download the fetchXml, the Guid of the record will be there. Quick view search Using the search box

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!"); });
