Trying to hide sections on a form based on a field value

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by Community Member

I am trying to show and hide sections on a form based on a field value (currency field type). This does not appear to be working and all sections always show regardless of field value. I have added this to the form properties for onload and onsave and on the amount requested field for onchange. The default for each section is visible. (I added the alerts to see if it was working but nothing is being shown in the alert either) 

// JavaScript source code


//Show/hide approval sections on CER form based on Amount Requested Value

function showHideApprovalSections() {
//get field value

var AmountRequested = Xrm.Page.data.entity.attributes.get("msft_amountrequested").getValue();
{
if (AmountRequested < 1,000,000)

//hide sections based on value
{
Xrm.Page.ui.tabs.get("approvals").section.get("ceo").setVisible(false);
Xrm.Page.ui.tabs.get("approvals").section.get("cfo").setVisible(true);
Xrm.Page.ui.tabs.get("approvals").section.get("coo").setVisible(true);
Xrm.Page.ui.tabs.get("approvals").section.get("bgsrmgr").setVisible(true);
Xrm.Page.ui.tabs.get("approvals").section.get("eng").setVisible(true);
Xrm.Page.ui.tabs.get("approvals").section.get("facilitygm").setVisible(true);
Xrm.Page.ui.tabs.get("approvals").section.get("srfinance").setVisible(true);


// Display an alert box
alert("AmountRequested");

}
else if (AmountRequested < 100,000)
{
Xrm.Page.ui.tabs.get("approvals").section.get("ceo").setVisible(false);
Xrm.Page.ui.tabs.get("approvals").section.get("cfo").setVisible(false);
Xrm.Page.ui.tabs.get("approvals").section.get("coo").setVisible(false);
Xrm.Page.ui.tabs.get("approvals").section.get("bgsrmgr").setVisible(true);
Xrm.Page.ui.tabs.get("approvals").section.get("eng").setVisible(true);
Xrm.Page.ui.tabs.get("approvals").section.get("facilitygm").setVisible(true);
Xrm.Page.ui.tabs.get("approvals").section.get("srfinance").setVisible(true);
alert("Amount < $100K");
}

else if (AmountRequested < 15,000)
{
Xrm.Page.ui.tabs.get("approvals").section.get("ceo").setVisible(false);
Xrm.Page.ui.tabs.get("approvals").section.get("cfo").setVisible(false);
Xrm.Page.ui.tabs.get("approvals").section.get("coo").setVisible(false);
Xrm.Page.ui.tabs.get("approvals").section.get("eng").setVisible(false);
Xrm.Page.ui.tabs.get("approvals").section.get("bgsrmgr").setVisible(false);
Xrm.Page.ui.tabs.get("approvals").section.get("facilitygm").setVisible(true);
Xrm.Page.ui.tabs.get("approvals").section.get("srfinance").setVisible(true);
alert("Amount < $15K");
}

}
}

    Hi,

    Remove the commas in between the numbers as shown below.

    AmountRequested < 1000000

    AmountRequested < 100000 

    AmountRequested < 15000

    Try the modified code below.

    // JavaScript source code

//Show/hide approval sections on CER form based on Amount Requested Value
function showHideApprovalSections() {
//get field value
var AmountRequested = Xrm.Page.data.entity.attributes.get("msft_amountrequested").getValue();
{
if (AmountRequested < 1000000)
//hide sections based on value
{
Xrm.Page.ui.tabs.get("approvals").section.get("ceo").setVisible(false);
Xrm.Page.ui.tabs.get("approvals").section.get("cfo").setVisible(true);
Xrm.Page.ui.tabs.get("approvals").section.get("coo").setVisible(true);
Xrm.Page.ui.tabs.get("approvals").section.get("bgsrmgr").setVisible(true);
Xrm.Page.ui.tabs.get("approvals").section.get("eng").setVisible(true);
Xrm.Page.ui.tabs.get("approvals").section.get("facilitygm").setVisible(true);
Xrm.Page.ui.tabs.get("approvals").section.get("srfinance").setVisible(true);

// Display an alert box
alert("AmountRequested");
}
else if (AmountRequested < 100000)
{
Xrm.Page.ui.tabs.get("approvals").section.get("ceo").setVisible(false);
Xrm.Page.ui.tabs.get("approvals").section.get("cfo").setVisible(false);
Xrm.Page.ui.tabs.get("approvals").section.get("coo").setVisible(false);
Xrm.Page.ui.tabs.get("approvals").section.get("bgsrmgr").setVisible(true);
Xrm.Page.ui.tabs.get("approvals").section.get("eng").setVisible(true);
Xrm.Page.ui.tabs.get("approvals").section.get("facilitygm").setVisible(true);
Xrm.Page.ui.tabs.get("approvals").section.get("srfinance").setVisible(true);
alert("Amount < $100K");
}
else if (AmountRequested < 15000)
{
Xrm.Page.ui.tabs.get("approvals").section.get("ceo").setVisible(false);
Xrm.Page.ui.tabs.get("approvals").section.get("cfo").setVisible(false);
Xrm.Page.ui.tabs.get("approvals").section.get("coo").setVisible(false);
Xrm.Page.ui.tabs.get("approvals").section.get("eng").setVisible(false);
Xrm.Page.ui.tabs.get("approvals").section.get("bgsrmgr").setVisible(false);
Xrm.Page.ui.tabs.get("approvals").section.get("facilitygm").setVisible(true);
Xrm.Page.ui.tabs.get("approvals").section.get("srfinance").setVisible(true);
alert("Amount < $15K");
}
}
}

    Hope this helps.

    To add to Andrii's answer(which is what you should do anyway).. You should also change the order of those if-s. Otherwise, your code will hit the first if and will never get to the second or third.

    Should be

    if(AmountRequested < 15000)

    {

    }

    else if(AmountRequested < 100000)

    {

    }

    else if(AmountRequested < 100000)

    {

    }

    Instead of looking through your code. I think this is something you need to learn to debug your javascrips.

    Press F12 in your browser that will open the developer tools (whatever you call that), and start searching for your scripts and putting the breakpoints to step through each line.

    There are plenty of online tutorial guiding you how to use that.

    Hello,

    Try to use

    if (AmountRequested < 1000000)

    instead of if (AmountRequested < 1,000,000)

    and do the same way for all other if..then statements.
