Autorefresh a table form ever 5 seconds to show externaly inserted data in the table

Posted on by ez Jurgen 123

Hi Guys,

We are creating a new app for operations in D365 CE.

the form we are creating lists a bunch of things an external Azure runbook wil do. We will also show a subgrid with a view of the logging table where Azure will write the progress of the tasks.

Is there a way to have a yes no slider of tickbox that will start a function (I asume javascript or powerA) to refresh the page every x seconds to show the new data azure runbooks have added to the logging table. Yes I am lazy ;) . We need the yes/no box or slider to make sure it does not refresh when we are inputting the data. only when we fire up the jobs we will set it to yes and then see the page refresh on its own

    If you need you can put your code on load of the form and compare the count of the records on the grid and on backend. if it matches then you can stop the refresh else just put a wait condition for couple of seconds and go thought the same condition again.

    If you don't want this customization then just add this sub grid on separate tab and use default refresh button on the sub grid.

    Thank you,

    Hi Jurgen,

    Please refer to the below links that you can use for refreshing the form. Basically, you have to register this function on Load of the form and use setTimeOut method to execute the refresh function. Also, you can put a condition in your logic to check for the field value if it is set to yes or not. Based on this you can achieve your goal.
