Ribbon workbench - opening a URL and passing through a parameter

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by Community Member Microsoft Employee

I am attempting to open a URL (Document management system) from a button on my ribbon.

What I need to do is take the Reference from the screen, pass it through, then open a document relating to this reference from the document management system.

I've tried doing it using the URL Action command. How do I pass through the Reference and what parameters do I use?

Also tried doing it with the JavaScript option, again not sure what paramters to use.

If anyone could assist please let me know.

    Hi,

    Ribbon workbench does not have the facility to pass any parameter you need to call only JS function in the Ribbon action where you pass the parameter using query string or as a parameter using OpenEntityForm.

    So create a JS web resource and add  one function there . In the function  get the value from  using    window.paremt.Xrm.Page.getAttribute("FieldName").getValue() and append the value to the URL or you can use openEntityForm.

    Please refer below reference  -

    Hope this helps.

    Hi,

    Assuming you want to open SharePoint location record?? you can write a JS method for this where you need to form the SharePoint URL, depending on the entity, for example below code will open case folder location

    // geting sharepoint doc folder location

    casetitle = Xrm.Page.getAttribute("title").getValue()

    spURL = "cncdev.sharepoint.com/incident";

    caseId = Xrm.Page.data.entity.getId().replace('{', '').replace('}', '').replace('-', '');

    caseId = caseId.replace(/-/gi, '');

    var loc = spURL + casetitle + "_" + caseId;
