Javascript "Loading screen" while workflow is beeing executed. Close when done?

Posted on by rskadk1 886

Hi,

I have a workflow performing actions, sending data to an external system. This can take up to 2-4 minutes. The problem is that the user doesn't know when it's done, so im looking for something visual to alert the user that the data transfer is ongoing.

I found that Xrm.Utility.showProgressIndicator maybe can be used. The wait progress bar should be showed when clicking on a ribbon button or changing a value on the form (the javascript can be called from either of theese). However then the ProgressIndicator should be closed when the workflow completes (Or even better when a value is set on the form marking that all data has been sent to the external syetem).

Can this be done?

    Hi,

    Can you please give more details about the implementation of the workflow? Also, how do you trigger your workflow currently?

    Hi,

    For the case we can simplify it. Let's say that we have a field named status. When the status is changed to "Data transfer" the javascript loading screen should appear. When the field named status 2-4 minutes after is changed to "Data transfer complete". the javascript loading screen should be closed. Now the user can continue to work. The reason why i mentioned the workflow was because the workflow changes the status field to either "Data transfer" or "Data transfer complete".

    Use Xrm.Utility.closeProgressIndicator() to close the indicator within the success method of your workflow execution function.
