Get View ID to display a view in the application navigation (using Site Map)

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by Ami K 98

Hi everyone,

 

I am trying to display a non-default View in the application Navigation pane using the Site Map. I am using the guidance below:

 

https://stackoverflow.com/questions/70579395/adding-multiple-views-of-same-entity-in-sitemap-in-dynamics-365

 

https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/power-apps/developer/model-driven-apps/open-forms-views-dialogs-reports-url?WT.mc_id=DX-MVP-5004422#display-a-view-in-the-application-navigation-using-the-site-map

 

 

Unfortunately, this is not working. I suspect this is because I am using the incorrect View ID. If I open the View in edit mode in the app, I have guessed the View ID is the last section in the browser URL:

However, I do not know if this the correct approach to obtaining the GUID View ID:

  • AP ID: 41d2de61-441f-478e-ac63-2018ad2091a8

  • Entity Name: new_business_cases

  • View ID (I think): 1e0e351b-07be-ed11-83fe-00224801ad6d

  • Sample Pattern: Url="/main.aspx?appid=e2bc1066-488f-eb11-b1ac-000d3a56ead9&pagetype=entitylist&etn=account&viewid=%7b<GUID value of view id>%7d"

  • My URL Pattern: Url="/main.aspx?appid=41d2de61-441f-478e-ac63-2018ad2091a8&pagetype=entitylist&etn=new_business_cases&viewid=%7b1e0e351b-07be-ed11-83fe-00224801ad6d%7d"

    Thanks Pablo Roldan.

    Now resolved. It seems that %7B and %7D (the parenthesis around the GUID) are not needed. I was able to use the URL without these: This worked for example:

    /main.aspx?appid=41d2de61-441f-478e-ac63-2018ad2091a8&pagetype=entitylist&etn=new_business_cases&viewid=1e0e351b-07be-ed11-83fe-00224801ad6

    Hi,

    - Go to System Customization

    - Display the entities in the left pane

    - Find your entity new_business_cases

    - Display it's views and select(double click) the one you need

    - in the URL look for a query string called "Id" e.g: id={00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000} thats your View's ID

    regards
