Show/Hide Business Process Flow on Contact form based on Field value

Posted on by Chrisbra22

Hi,

I have a contact form with a Lead Qualification Business Flow. I only want this BPF to show when Contact Type = Prospect and Contact Sub-Type = Lead. For example, if Contact Type = Employee, I would not want this Business Process Flow to show.

I tried doing this via Workflow to call an Action, but I do not see the "SetProcess" Action step.

I know this can be done via JScript, but I don't have the code for that.

If someone knows a way to do this without code, could you let me know? If not, I would gladly take sample code :)

Thanks in advance!

Hi,

Please refer to this example:

function onLoad(executionContext) { var formContext = executionContext.getFormContext(); if (executionContext.getFormContext().ui.getFormType() != 1) { formContext.data.addOnLoad(hideProcess); formContext.getAttribute('new_contacttype').addOnChange(hideProcess); } } function hideProcess(executionContext) { var formContext = executionContext.getFormContext(); var contactType = formContext.getAttribute("new_contacttype").getValue(); var contactTypeValues = { Employee: 700000002, } if (contactType == contactTypeValues.Employee) { formContext.ui.process.setVisible(false); formContext.data.process.setStatus("aborted"); } else { formContext.ui.process.setVisible(true); formContext.data.process.setStatus("active"); } }

You should then register the "onLoad" function in the onLoad event. Feel free to give more details if you need more guidance, Good Luck !!

Hi,

We cannot set the Business Process Flow through workflow but we can use the “formcontext.data.process.setActiveProcess ()” method within javascript to change the Business Process Flow on the form-based on the field value in Dynamics365 CRM.

Please find below the sample code for the same.

Function setBPFProcess(executionContext)
{
var formcontext = executioncontext.getFormContext();

//retrieve the value of Contact Type field and Contact Sub Type
var contactType = formcontext.getAttribute(ContactType).getValue();
var contactSubType = formcontext.getAttribute(contactSubType).getValue();

//validate both field values
If ( contactType ==Prospect && contactSubType == Lead)
{

//set the Business Process Flow
var processId =”<<Guid of the Business Process flow>>”;
formcontext.data.process.setActiveProcess(processId);
}
}

Thanks!

Thanks! I see that this sets the process, but does it else hide it, if Contact Type = any other value?

This is the latest code I will implement, onLoad, and on change of msemr_contacttype, aces_contactsubtype

Function setBPFProcess(executionContext)

{

var formcontext = executioncontext.getFormContext();

//retrieve the value of Contact Type field and Contact Sub Type

var contactType = formcontext.getAttribute(msemr_contacttype).getValue(602660001);

var contactSubType = formcontext.getAttribute(aces_contactsubtype).getValue(602660036);

If ( contactType ==Prospect && contactSubType == Lead)

{

//set the Business Process Flow

var processId ="580e164c-6222-4786-b847-026f8bd4d5bd";

formcontext.data.process.setActiveProcess(processId);

formContext.ui.process.setVisible(true);

} else {

formContext.ui.process.setVisible(false);

}

}
