Field Notification/alert

Posted on by Microsoft Employee

Hi Guys,

I am trying to set up some sort of notification based on 2 field value, so that users make less errors.

For example if in field one contain "London" and field 2 is not equal to "London" then notify user as there may be a potential error.

I am not sure what would be the best way to do this, so perhaps you guys could give me some advice.

This is for Dynamics CRM 2016 online.

Many thanks in advance

    Hi Ras,

    It sounds like a business rule would be the easiest way to handle this (they support validation messages for field data). Here's an overview of how you'd set them up: www.microsoft.com/.../create-business-rules-and-recommendations-to-apply-logic-in-a-form.aspx

    If you find you aren't able to accomplish it through that, you can do it by writing a little javascript to compare the values on the form save event (msdn.microsoft.com/.../gg334481.aspx)

    Hope this helps! I'd appreciate if you'd mark this as Answering your question.

    Thanks,

     Aiden
