Hi Ankit,

You have to use wep api request to achieve this. create the JS and call the function on onload of the form or any other event.

here is how you get the logged in user id =

var userSettings = Xrm.Utility.getGlobalContext().userSettings; // userSettings is an object with user information. var current_User_Id = userSettings.userId; // The user's unique id var newid = current_User_Id.slice(1, -1); Then use rest builder to generate a request to get above user's location:https://github.com/jlattimer/CRMRESTBuilder/releases - download and install this tool
- it will help to generate web api requests.

Hi,

If you want to get location using mobile devices then you can have a look here for some ideas.

There are some web Apis available to track the geo location information. You need to consume them as per your requirements. You can even use IP lookups API to track the country.

Hi Ankit,

dynamics crm deosnt have any thing like this.

you would require a very generic javascript. i.e using good API etc.
