Javascript functions for CRM 2011 - Part 2

Here’s an example of how to call the function (I retrieve the details of one lookup field and then call the above function to populate another lookup field):

1
var ExistingCase = Xrm.Page.data.entity.attributes.get("new_existingcase");
2
if (ExistingCase.getValue() != null) {
3
    var ExistingCaseGUID = ExistingCase.getValue()[0].id;
4
    var ExistingCaseName = ExistingCase.getValue()[0].name;
5
    SetLookupValue("regardingobjectid", ExistingCaseGUID, ExistingCaseName,"incident");
6
}

Set the Requirement Level of a Field:

Note: this example sets the requirement level of the Address Type field on the Account form to Required.

Note: setRequiredLevel(“none”) would make the field optional again.

1
function SetRequirementLevel() {
2
    var AddressType = Xrm.Page.data.entity.attributes.get("address1_addresstypecode");
3
    AddressType.setRequiredLevel("required");
4
}

Disable a field:

1
function SetEnabledState() {
2
    var AddressType = Xrm.Page.ui.controls.get("address1_addresstypecode");
3
    AddressType.setDisabled(true);
4
}

Hide a field:

1
function hideName() {
2
    var name = Xrm.Page.ui.controls.get("name");
3
    name.setVisible(false);
4
}

Hide a nav item:

Note: you need to refer to the nav id of the link, use F12 developer tools in IE to determine this

1
function hideContacts() {
2
    var objNavItem = Xrm.Page.ui.navigation.items.get("navContacts");
3
    objNavItem.setVisible(false);
4
}

Hide a Section:

Note: Here I provide a function you can use. Below the function is a sample.

1
function HideShowSection(tabName, sectionName, visible) {
2
    Xrm.Page.ui.tabs.get(tabName).sections.get(sectionName).setVisible(visible);
3
}
4
 
5
HideShowSection("tab_5", "tab_5_section_4", true);

Save the form:

1
function SaveAndClose() {
2
    Xrm.Page.data.entity.save();
3
}

Save and close the form:

1
function SaveAndClose() {
2
    Xrm.Page.data.entity.save("saveandclose");
3
}

Close the form:

Note: the user will be prompted for confirmation if unsaved changes exist

1
function Close() {
2
    Xrm.Page.ui.close();
3
}

Determine the Form Type:

Note: Form type codes: Create (1), Update (2), Read Only (3), Disabled (4), Bulk Edit (6)

1
function AlertFormType() {
2
    var FormType = Xrm.Page.ui.getFormType();
3
     if (FormType != null) {
4
        alert(FormType);
5
    }
6
}

Determine the GUID of the current record:

1
function AlertGUID() {
2
    var GUIDvalue = Xrm.Page.data.entity.getId();
3
    if (GUIDvalue != null) {
4
        alert(GUIDvalue);
5
    }
6
}

Determine the GUID of the current user:

1
function AlertGUIDofCurrentUser() {
2
    var UserGUID = Xrm.Page.context.getUserId();
3
     if (UserGUID != null) {
4
        alert(UserGUID);
5
    }
6
}
