Hi,
I want to get Entity Name from View of Entity in MS Dynamics CRM.
Here I am getting entity name by Xrm.Page.data.entity.getEntityName(); But it gives an error.
Can anyone suggest how to get Entity Name or Entity ID?

Hi Chhaya,
I'll slightly extend Nitin Verma's reply.
You can either have a Home Page context or a Form context.
Depends on the invocation location you can pass SelectedControl (would work on Home Page) and PrimaryControl (would work on the Form) into JS and in the script there should be two arguments in the function like OnLoad(formContext, homePageContext).
When the function will be called out, one of two arguments would not be null so you would need to validate it and use not null one further.
Some useful details are there in ms docs.

Hi All,
Even i want to know how we can get entity name from view areas ?
But here Xrm.Page will not work.Is there any way so we can get atleast attribute name from view name using javascript ?
Thanks,
Jharana
Hi Chhaya,
Why do you need to get the entity name of the view? Please explain the scenario.
Hi Chhaya,
As Nitin suggestion, this can be implemented by using JavaScript, but you will need to do this by adding a script library to your home page. In order to do this, you would need Ribbon Workbench to either create your own button, or customize an existing button and provide your JavaScript library as a reference, so that it is loaded when the home page view is loaded.
You should be able to customize your script library to get an onload event there.
Thanks Nitin!
I want to get CRM Entity name on onLoad of view page of CRM. Please look at give screenshot.
Suppose I clicked on Sales -> Account
It shows default view of Account and I want to get Entity Name here.
Can you please suggest me?
Hi
You won't get Xrm.Page here as it is available on form.
If you have registered your script on ribbon button then you may pass the primary entity name as a crm parameter to your function using Ribbon Workbench.
Hope it helps!
Many thanks,
Nitin Verma
