DYNAMICS 365 FORM NOTIFICATION AND FIELD NOTIFICATION

In a previous post, we saw how to display a global notification that lives across the Model driven App .

In Dynamics 365 form, you can display two types of notifications: Form Notifications and Field Notifications.

In this article, we will see how to display Form Notifications and Field Notifications within an entity form using JavaScript.

  1. The form notification will be displayed on top of the form and the setFormNotification function is used to display form level notifications

    function displayFormNotification(context) {
    var formContext = context.getFormContext();
    formContext.ui.setFormNotification("This is an INFORMATION form notification.", "INFO", "InformationNotificationId");
    formContext.ui.setFormNotification("This is a WARNING form notification.", "WARNING", "WarningNotificationId");
    formContext.ui.setFormNotification("This is an ERROR form notification.", "ERROR", "ErrorNotificationId");
    }

    We have three level of form notification:
    • INFO: It displays information notification message to the user with system info icon
    • WARNING: It displays warning notification message to the user with system warning icon
    • ERROR: It displays error notification message to the user with system warning icon

    Form notification

  2. The field notification will be displayed on the field and the setNotification function is used to display field level notifications

    function displayFieldNotification(context) {
    var formContext = context.getFormContext();
    formContext.getControl("name").setNotification("This is a field message notification.", "FieldNotificationId");
    }

    Field notification

Bonus Tips:
  • To remove form notification, you have to use the function clearFormNotification function formContext.ui.clearFormNotification("uniqueId"); with the Notification Id you want to remove
  • To remove field notification, you have to use the function clearNotification function formContext.getControl("fieldLogicalName").clearNotification("uniqueId"); with the Notification Id you want to remove


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

SEARCH BY GUID IN DYNAMICS 365

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!"); });
