Custom Rule for Ribbon Button using only 'Display Rule' excluding 'Enable Rule' in CRM 2011

Posted on by Community Member

Hi,

I have two scenarios :-

1. Pass a value is 'not null' or 'null' : I have to implement this using 'Display Rule' excluding 'Enable Rule'  if I am using 'Value Rule' and passing the Field Value as 'null' I am not able to get the functionality .

N.B : Currently I am implementing this by adding extra flag .

2. Pass any custom Rule which is based on some Odata Queries : I have to implement this using 'Display Rule' but unfortunately it is not falling under any display Rules which CRM supports .

N.B : Currently I am implementing this by giving alert prior to ribbon action in form event to satisfy my condition .

 

Is there any solution for the same .Please help me for the same as adding flag time and again is not a good alternative .

Pls suggest for the same .Thanks in Advance .

    Hi,

    Value Rules do seem to work slightly differently with DisplayRules compared to EnableRules.

    Try using the Default = "true" - this will return true if the ValueRule can't be evaluated because the value is null.

       <ValueRule Field="new_optionsetabc" Value="" Default="true" />

    Custom Javascript rules will not work with Display Rules - again you will need to use an Enable Rule.

    It is also worth noting that Value Rules changed slightly with CRM 2013 - see ribbonworkbench.uservoice.com/.../276684-differences-between-crm2011-and-crm2013-ribbon-com

    Hope this helps,

    Scott
