CHANGE ROLLUP FIELD RECURRENCE SCHEDULE IN DATAVERSE / DYNAMICS 365

One of the features in Dynamics 365 is the rollup field type where you can perform aggregation and calculation of data in a parent record based on child records.

You create a rollup field by adding a new field, choosing the field and data type, and building the logic for the calculation.

One of the important consideration of a rollup field is the frequency of its calculation where, for each entity that contains a rollup field, a recurring system job will be automatically created in order to calculate the rollup field. This calculation is done asynchronously based on a frequency set.

By default, it is set to 1 hour, however, you can change this frequency by following the below steps.
  1. In the environment, go to Settings page and under Audit and logs menu, click on System jobs
    rollup field 0

  2. Choose the view All Rollup Fields Calculation Jobs and open the calculate rollup fields job which contains the entity name. For this article, the entity is account.
    rollup field 1

  3. Open the Job and click on Actions -> Modify Recurrence
    rollup field 2

  4. In the Modify Recurrence page, adjust the frequency as per needed and click OK
    rollup field 3

On the other hand, you might have scenarios where you need that the calculation to be done immediately, therefore, you can force the calculation of a rollup field using JavaScript or C# as per this article

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!"); });
