Custom Entity in Custom Channel Tile

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by 10
Dear Dynamics community,

Why I don't see a custom entity that I have created? I see it in my PowerApps but when I fill it with a record, I can not see the record on my custom tile.
I just see the loading... forever.

I can share it but on a custom tile, I can not see it. It theoretically should not do much (since I am starting my Workflow (WF) on custom channel activity) but my WF doesn't register this activity.

When I test my WF/Connector by changing The entity name to contacts (for example), it works. So, the issue is in my Custom Channel Activity.

    Hi Martin,

    Thanks for your feedback! Welcome to submit issue at GitHub page.

    You could submit feedback on step 2 page of custom channel configuration tutorial, it would help people who also encountered same issue when they're configuring custom tile.

    Hi Clofly,

    once again I am thankful for your help. You are 100 % right, these values need to be specified. If you don't mind, I will submit an issue (and credit you) at the Github page to inform the Microsoft team that they should update this information.

    Also, even with LookupID (and VIew ID) specified, your record could still look like this:

    I have mentioned this on Github as an Issue, but it's just a Graphical Bug and doesn't affect WFs.


    Thanks again!

    Hi Martin,

    The issue might be caused by LookupViewId and QuickViewFormId properties are not defined properly in xml file.

    According to sample xml file of documentation, althought the comment said that those two properties are optional,

    however, from my test, they shall be populated;

    I didn't add them in the first test, then I also encountered same issue(Stuck in Loading...) as screenshot you posted.

    1. Open the lookup view of custom entity, then open console and use decodeURIComponent(location.href);  function to get decoded id value of lookup view id.

    2. Similarly, get id value of quick view form with same function.

    3. Add those values to xml web resource of custom channel 

    Result:

    Now records list for custom entity has been available:
