Alert on changing BPF

Report

Posted on by Sai Ankith MCP

I want to be able to create a pop-up whenever a user changes the stage in a business Process flow(bpf). However, I cannot see the fields for a BPF. I remember someone suggested me to use stageID field but they also told me that it would be deprecated with Dynamics 365 which is the version I am using. Can anyone please assist on how I should move ahead ?

Regards,

Ankith

You can use the following JS code to get the stage and based on that display a popup:

var activeStage = Xrm.Page.data.process.getActiveStage();

var stageId = activeStage.getId();

var stageName = activeStage.getName();

if (stageName == 'Assessment')

{

alert('Display Message Here!!!');

}

Hope this helps.

Hi,

yes, stageid is going to deprecated. You can use addOnStageChange and getActiveStage method.

https://blogs.msdn.microsoft.com/crm/2017/07/30/how-to-determine-which-business-process-flow-bpf-instance-is-shown-when-a-record-is-opened-2/

function formonload()

{

Xrm.Page.data.process.addOnStageChange(getStage); // Trigger the function when move to next stage.

}

function getStage()

{

var activeStage = Xrm.Page.data.process.getActiveStage();

var stageId = activeStage.getId();

var stagename = activeStage.getName();

alert(stagename);

}

Hi Ankith,

You need to use the supported script for business process flow. If you want to show the alert then any of the above houls work in your case.

Refer these MSDN links for more details:

msdn.microsoft.com/.../gg334701.aspx

Hope this helps.

Hello Wei Ji Fun,

This looks good however it works only when you open a record(form onload). I am not sure how to handle when changing the stages without loading the form. Any thoughts ?

Thanks a lot ! However, I need to create a pop-up using different fields on the bpf when the person changes the stage from stage 3 to stage 4. Can anyone explain how I handle this ?

@Fun: Your solution alerts the stage name as pop-up while I need to alert different values from the fields of BPF. I need to give alert only when a person changes the stage from "Quote the Products" to "Approve and Activate"

Hi,

according to the pdf you sent me via linkedin.

You have to change the getstage to displayAlert, because you are changing the function name.
