Hi,

I want to show / hide ribbon button based on view name . For eg , when i open contacts in Dynamics 365 , by default "My Active Contacts" view is opened and i have created another custom view "RL Contacts" . So i want to hide Ribbon button in one view i.e "My Active Contacts" and when "RL Contacts" view is opened then ribbon button should be visible.

So how can i do this?

i tried following below url where it has explained adding some enable rules in ribbon workbench . So i have tried it .This approach only disable ribbon button . it does not hide it.

I want that this ribbon button should be hidden too not only disabled.

function visibilityOfButton(selectedCtrl) {

var viewname = selectedCtrl.getViewSelector().getCurrentView().name;

alert("view name" + viewname);

if (viewname === "My Active Accounts")

visible= true;

else

visible = false;

return visible;

};

Add this to enable rule of the button change the name of the function in the below image to your function name or the above mentioned function name.

Hello,

Please refer to this screenshots.

Use Xrm._page.getUrl() to get the Url and split to get the ID.

Hi Syed,

Thanks for your input.

I already tried this code snippet shared by you. This only works upto CRM 2015 . It does not work in Dynamics 365.

I got below javascript error when i used this javascript code snippet.

Error :- object doesn't support property or method 'get_viewTitle'

Do you have any idea what code will work in Dynamics 365 ?

Please create command(Pass the CRM parameter to JS fucntion) and call the below JS on load to get the view name and then create a Display rule based on the view name.

function getViewName(selectedCtl) { debugger; var viewName = selectedCtl.get_viewTitle(); alert(viewName); }

Call the below method to return Boolean for the display rule.

function HideButtonBasedOnViewSelected (selectedCtrl) { var query = selectedCtrl.get_viewTitle(); if (query == 'Your View Name') { return false; } else return true; }

Make as Verified, if it resolved your query
