Load Tab contents when tab is expanded

Posted on by Community Member

HI,

I've set tabs on a form to collapsed by default using the JavaScript method:

Xrm.Page.ui.tabs.get("tabname").setDisplayState('collapsed');

It works fine, but I want the contents of the tab to load only when the the user expands the tabs for performance purposes. How could I achieve this?

Thanks a lot,

Jared

Hi Jared,

The link to Power Objects has good information but if you're loading more than one iFrame than you'll be re-writing a lot of javascript. Here's a post that describes how to do the same thing but to use parameters - it'll save you a lot of time if you have multiple iFrames in your CRM instance.

If this helps and is what you're looking for, I'd appreciate it if you could mark this as the verified answer. If not, let me know and I'll see how I can help.

Thanks,

Aiden

Hi Guys,

Thanks for the info.

I understand how this could be useful for IFrames, but how could i achieve this with general fields and Sub-grids within the tab?. If I understand correctly, you set the IFrame source URL to blank and then call the Source on TabStateChange, is it possible to set a sub-grid the same way?

Thanks,

Jared

Hi Jared,

Fields and grids which are collapsed load in the background when your form loads, so you don't need to do anything to them to make your form load faster.

Here's a very details post I wrote about how to use the CRM Performance Center to troubleshoot form load times to get your records to load faster. I swear I'm not just trying to push articles I wrote :) The performance center has almost no details available out there and I believe this is the most thorough, comprehensive guide you'll find. Let me know what you think and if it helps.
