Load JS webresource on EnableRule of a ribbon button

Posted on by Vineet Mehra

Problem:

In Dynamics 365 I have one custom entity say CustomEntity. In that entity's Home Grid Page (List View page, where we get Active/Inactive and so on views) and in entity's form I have added one custom ribbon button, say CustomRibbon. Now, that ribbon button should be visible to users having specific security role, say CSR Admin. How to achieve this ?

What I have tried:

Added custom js (for checking particular Role) in EnableRule for CustomRibbon button. It is working fine for form but not for Grid/List View page of the entity. Reason - js Library is not loading in Grid/List view.
I have also tried callling dummy function for the library and try to call it (so that js webreource can be loaded) on Enable rule, but still it is not working.

Hi,

see if you did not include a different library occasionally (library parameter of the CustomRule). Maybe you have the right one added to the form as you would, normally, add a web resource?

Then, of course, publish all.. close the browsers.. use F5 after that.. but I'm guessing you've tried that already.

If nothing works, might also want to try ribbon workbench as an alternative:

Thanks Alex.

Yes I tried with the correct library only. The point here is In Home Grid/List views, how we can load our custom javascript libraries.

It should have been loaded automatically because you are referencing it from the rule... your function wouldn't have a name that could have been used by crm?

Thats what I thought, but it is not loading. I have added one enable rule which is a custom js call for function, say ShowCustomButton(), of my custom js library.

Winnie,

I usually add those libraries with Enable Rule of Custom Function type using isNaN function without parameters. Can you please provide screenshots of your Ribbon Workbench cnfiguration to check what's wrong with it?

Hi

If you are using multiple JavaScript (library) files, along with the JS file in which you are having the function to be used.

1. Add those library files to webresources

2. For Actions, add the library files with the function name

NaN

3. For Enable rule add the library files with a function which would return true,

for example:

function General_IncludeInRibbon() { return true; }

or

isNaN

as mentioned by Andrii

Thanks Andrii, Gopalan

I have used isNaN or dummy functions earlier also for Actions and they worked fine.

In above snapshot, I have added 2 Funds button one on HomePageGrid and other on the form and added the same enable rule for both button commands. For simplifying it I am just calling a function of AccountMain Library which is checking the role of a user and returning true or false. I am not referencing any other library.

For Form it is working as expected but not HomePageGrid.

Please provide a screenshot of Enable Action in which you load required library.
