Make All Field Read only MSCRM or Model Driven apps

Introduction:

In this blog we will see how to make all the filed as Read- Only using Javascript in MSCRM/DataVerse environment.

Implementation steps:

Copy the Below Code in your OnLoad Operation to make all the Fields Read Only

function MakeAllFieldReadOnly(){

 Xrm.Page.data.entity.attributes.forEach(

  function (attribute, index) {

      var attributeName = attribute.getName();

          Xrm.Page.getControl(attributeName).setDisabled(false);

  });

}

Show or Hide TIME component from Date Time in Model Driven Apps

Introduction:

In this blog we will see how to show or hide Time Component using JavaScript in Model Driven Apps/ MSCRM

Implementation Steps:

 

Some time Use want to Show/Hide Time Field Component based on their Requirement

 

 

To Achieve that we need to write some JavaScript to enable and disabled Component

 

Syntax:

 

formContext.getControl(arg).setShowTime(bool);

 

arg = Field Logical Name

bool = true/false 

 

To Enable time Component:

 

function enableTimeComponent(executionContext){
var formContext = executionContext.getFormContext();
formContext.getControl("FieldLogicalName").setShowTime(true);
}

 

To Disable time Component:

 

function enableTimeComponent(executionContext){
var formContext = executionContext.getFormContext();
formContext.getControl("FieldLogicalName").setShowTime(false);
}

 

That's it

Side Panes in Model Driven Apps

Introduction:

 

In this Blog, we will see what are the features and how we can use Side Panes in Model Driven Apps.

Implementation Steps:

 

Consider a scenario, on click of a Button I need to show a HTML page in the Form. Initially we have used Dialog to display the same in the form but Microsoft have introduced a new feature to display a SIDE PAN in the Form

 

Syntax:

 

Xrm.App.sidePanes.createPane(paneOptions)

 

PanOptions:

You can refer to https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/powerapps/developer/model-driven-apps/clientapi/reference/xrm-app/xrm-app-sidepanes/createpane

Sample Code to Open HTML Page:

 

Check Weather the pane is already opened or not. If opened Close the pane

 

 

var currentPane = Xrm.App.sidePanes.getSelectedPane();
if (currentPane !== null && currentPane !== undefined && currentPane.paneId === "PANIDUNIQUENAME") {
var promotionPane = Xrm.App.sidePanes.getPane("PANIDUNIQUENAME");
promotionPane.close();
}

 

 

Below code for Opening the HTML page in Side pan

 

try {       
        Xrm.App.sidePanes.createPane({
            title: "PANID",
            paneId: "PANIDUNIQUENAME",
            canClose: true
        }).then((pane) => {
            pane.navigate({
                pageType: "webresource",
                webresourceName: "/webresources/yourhtmlpage.html"
            });
        });
    }
    catch (e) {
        throw e;
    }

 

 

If you want to pass any parameter from form to HTML in Side Pan

 

 

try {      
var formContext = primaryControl;
var qs = "guidofRecord=" + formContext.data.entity.getId().replace('{', '').replace('}', ''); // guidofRecord = you can pass any dummy variables
        Xrm.App.sidePanes.createPane({
            title: "PANID",
            paneId: "PANIDUNIQUENAME",
            canClose: true
        }).then((pane) => {
            pane.navigate({
                pageType: "webresource",
                webresourceName: "/webresources/yourhtmlpage.html"
                data: encodeURIComponent(qs)
            });
        });
    }
    catch (e) {
        throw e;
    }

 

 

Thats it.

Conclusion:

This is how we want to display HTML image using Side Pan in DataVerse/MSCRM

Share Records with Permission using Web API in Dataverse or MSCRM

Introduction 

In this Blog we will see how to share a Row/Record with permission using Web API JavaScript

Scinario:

Consider we have an Contact Field in Account Entity. then On save of record i need to take the Respective Contact and Share the Account Owner to Contact Owner.

Parameter For Sharing Record

Read : ReadAccess

Write : WriteAccess

Append : AppendAccess

Append To : AppendToAccess

Create : CreateAccess

Delete : DeleteAccess

Share : ShareAccess

Assign : AssignAccess

JavaScript code for Implementing:

function shareUserOrTeamtoRecord(executionContext) {
    var context = executionContext.getFormContext();
    var target = {
        "contactid": "ACAAB842-21C7-E811-A96F-000D3A16A41E", // Pass your respective Record id
        "@odata.type": "Microsoft.Dynamics.CRM.contact" // Pass your respective Entity Logical name record type
    };

    // Sharing with Team
    var principalAccess = {
        "Principal": {
            "teamid": "d272654b-57f5-4564-8d0b-36d0d4c426c4",
            "@odata.type": "Microsoft.Dynamics.CRM.team"
        },
        "AccessMask": "ReadAccess, WriteAccess"
        //Access Mask Sample "ReadAccess, WriteAccess, AppendAccess, AppendToAccess, CreateAccess, DeleteAccess, ShareAccess, AssignAccess"
    };

    // Sharing with User
    var principalAccess = {
        "Principal": {
            "teamid": "d272654b-57f5-4564-8d0b-36d0d4c426c4",
            "@odata.type": "Microsoft.Dynamics.CRM.team"
        },
        "AccessMask": "ReadAccess, WriteAccess"
        //Access Mask Sample "ReadAccess, WriteAccess, AppendAccess, AppendToAccess, CreateAccess, DeleteAccess, ShareAccess, AssignAccess"
    };

    var parameters = {
        "Target": target,
        "PrincipalAccess": principalAccess
    };

    var req = new XMLHttpRequest();
    req.open("POST", context.getClientUrl() + "/api/data/v9.0/GrantAccess", true);
    req.setRequestHeader("OData-MaxVersion", "4.0");
    req.setRequestHeader("OData-Version", "4.0");
    req.setRequestHeader("Accept", "application/json");
    req.setRequestHeader("Content-Type", "application/json; charset=utf-8");
    req.onreadystatechange = function () {
        if (this.readyState === 4) {
            req.onreadystatechange = null;
            if (this.status === 204) {
                //Success - No Return Data - Do Something
            } else {
                var errorText = this.responseText;
                //error response
            }
        }
    };
    req.send(JSON.stringify(parameters));
}

Conclusion:

That's it :) This is how we need use above JavaScript to implement Record Sharing using WebApi.

 

Open URL in PowerApps/Dataverse/MSCRM form Using JavaScript

Introduction:

In this blog we will see how to write Javascript to Open URL in PowerApps/MSCRM/Dataverse Environment.

Implementation Steps:

 

Syntax:

 

 

Xrm.Navigation.openUrl(url,openUrlOptions)

 

 

 

Consider am having a field in an Account Entity Called URL. Then in Onload of Page, if URL Field Contains Data Open another Page with URL

 

To Begin with i created a Field Called URL in Account Form

 

Then Create a WebResource File with Type as JS

 

function openURLOnLoad(executionContext) {
    var formContext = executionContext.getFormContext();
    if (formContext.getAttribute("cr608_url").getValue() != null) {
        var URL = formContext.getAttribute("cr608_url").getValue();
        var openUrlOptions = {
            height: 800,
            width: 800
        };
        Xrm.Navigation.openUrl(URL, openUrlOptions);
    }
}

 

Then Call the function in OnLoad Opearation

 

 

Save and then Publish

 

Create a Record in Account Entity 

 

Save then Refresh the Form

 

 

That's it
