How to Create and Customize Sitemap in Model Driven App / Dataverse / MSCRM

Introduction:

In this Blog, we will see how to Create and Modify Site map in Model Driven Apps/ Dataverse Environment

Implementation Steps:

 

Consider you have 2 Different teams available in your Organization, 

 

1. Sales Team

2. Pay Roll Team

 

If Sales Team Logged into Dataverse environment they need to see only their Respective Entities in Site Map, the same way for Pay Roll Team as well.

 

So Come across this scenario, we can create 2 different Model-Driven Apps and we can share the same to Respective Teams.

 

To Create a Model-Driven Apps

1. Navigate to https://make.powerapps.com

 

2. Click On Apps

 

 

3. Then Select Model Driven Apps

 

4. Once You Selected it will prompt you with two option, 

          a. Classic Mode

          b. Modern App Designer.

 

 

 

Lets Start looking Classic Mode

 

1. Once You selected ok for Classic Mode it will take you to App Creation page, Enter your App Name, Unique name will be auto populated from App name.

 

If you have any Images you can select and click on Done

 

 

2. App Designer Page will gets loaded, Click on site map to Add the Entities

 

 

3. Enter the Area name, Group name 

 

 

4. Then Click On New Subarea and Select the Entities

 

 

That's it, Click on Save and Publish then Run the App to view the Designers

 

b. Modern App Designer

 

1. Once you select Modern App Designer, You will be request to Enter Model Driven App name

 

 

2. Click Add Page button in the Body of screen

 

3. Then Select Weather you want Table based View and form / Dashboard / Custom

 

If you select Table view and form pages you will be popped up with below screen. Select the Entities and Click Add by Selecting Show in Navigation

 

After clicking ok you can see the selected Entities in the Navigation

 

 

To add a new page click Add Page and you will be Popped with the Selection Screen Again

 

 

That's it.. this is how we need to Create Model Driven App in Dataverse Environment.

How to Use Open Entity Form in Dataverse Environment

Introduction:

In this blog we will see how to Open Entity/Quick Create Form from Dataverse/Model Driven Apps

There are two type of Forms Available

1. Main Form

2. Quick View Form

 

1. Main Form:

 

Consider you have a Ribbon Button and on Click on Button you want to Open a Main Form. So for that you can write the below JavaScript command to achieve the same

var parameters = {

};

parameters["cr608_logicalName1"] = Value1ForLogicalName1;

parameters["cr608_logicalName2"] = Value2ForLogicalName2;

Xrm.Utility.openEntityForm("cr608_EntityLogicalName", null, parameters);

 

2. Quick View Form:

 

Consider I have an account Entity and I want to Create an Contact Against that Account for that

 

First Retrieve Account Value and store in a Temporary Variable.

 

var retrieveAccountValue = null;

var accountId = null;

var account = primaryControl.getAttribute("parentaccountid"); // you can use formContext from Form. From Ribbon you need to pass Primary Control as Parameter

if (account != null) {

  retrieveAccountValue  = account.getValue();

  if (retrieveAccountValue  != null) {

    accountId = accountValue[0].id;

  }

}

 

Then Create a Variable to set the Account Values

 

var parentAccountForContact = {

  entityType: "account",

  id: accountId

};

 

then you can Call the below code to open a Quick Create Form

 

// Create a Parameter

var parameters = {};

//Open Quick Create Form

Xrm.Utility.openQuickCreate("contact", parentAccount, parameters).then(function (ValueOutput) { successCallback(ValueOutput); }, function (error) { errorCallback(error);});

// Success Call

function successCallback(success) {

  alert("Success");

}

// Error Call

function errorCallback(e) {

  alert("Error: " + e.errorCode + " " + e.message);

}

 

That's it

Conclusion:

This is how we need to user Open Entity Form in DataVerse/Model-DrivenApps/CRM Environment.
