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

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.

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.

Regards,

Oleksandr
