Entity Id

Hi Guys,

I'm facing some problem in Javascript in Online Account in CRM 2015.

When i'm trying to get EntityId using Ribbon button by JS, it's showing error "The object entity is undefined"

(i found this using developer tool). 

The code i used to get the EntityId is Xrm.Page.data.entity.getId()

Suggest me the exact code.

Thanks in advance

    HI Saravana, are you getting the entity name by using this. Please check .

    Xrm.Page.data.entity.getEntityName();

    Thanks.

    if you try to do this Xrm.Page.data.entity.getId() when you are not an an entity form then the getId() will return null and won't work, e.g. it throws the error

    "The object entity is undefined"

    This could be being called from the homepage in a grid view.

    you need to check if you are being called from a form

    something like this

    if (Xrm.Page.data != null)

    Hi Ben,

    You are right. I'm trying to get the Entity ID in the home page grid view.

    For that how to get ID of an entity?

    I think you need to get CrmParamater and SelectedControlSelectedItemIds

    this msdn article explains how the logic of CrmParamater

    this blog is CRM 2011 but this functionality hasn't changed

    this blog should help, it uses the ribbon workbench
