Hello Forum Members:
Does anybody have experience with developing custom Alerts, Microsoft Dynamics CRM (Cloud), with JavaScript?
I know the JavaScript code to use to but don't know the easiest way to test custom page and alert.
Please help! Thanks!
Casey
It would look something like this

async function questions() {
const q1 = await Xrm.Navigation.openConfirmDialog("q1");
if (q1.confirmed) return; // if yes, we are done
const q2 = await Xrm.Navigation.openConfirmDialog("q2");
if (q2.confirmed) return; // if yes, we are done
//so on and so forth
}
I envy you, there is no better time to learn JS.
I wrote a little starter project to help those who want to write professional level JS for crm.

You can also tweet me questions @KentorThames.
To learn the language itself, try these videos.

Rex,
So 2 goals for my learning here. First, I want to push my Custom Alert to do new things. For example, dialog box (alert) might say, does this answer your question, yes or no ? If answer is no, then a new Dialog Box (alert) will pop up with new questions. Second, I am very new with JavaScript. I took one class but the pace was took fast. I want to learn how to dig deeper into writing my own Javascript code. I can code HTML / CSS very well, but Javascript seems like algebra to me, it is hard to learn. Any suggestions? Do you of any forums or user groups? Thanks!
That's a function that my form calls during the save event.
You just basically follow the same pattern for any event where you want to control the dialog flow.
async function nameOnChange() {
await Xrm.Navigation.openAlertDialog("Name has changed");
console.log("Alert Closed");
}
If you don't have the async and await, then console.log will NOT wait for the user to click on the alert box.
Evgeniy,
I was able to re-engineer and redo the all Customization Steps (i.e., Custom Account Form, Add Web Resource, and so on). The Custom Alert is up and running on my Microsoft Dynamics CRM Cloud again this is great stuff with business process automation. Now at this point, I wish I could find a new consulting job, it is the dead of Winter and I'm very hungry Thanks again for everything... Casey (MCTS - Microsoft Dynamics CRM Applications)
Evgeniy,
I was able to get my Custom Alert to work based on the '1' Value in integer field (on Alert Demo Tab).
But I wanted to change the Alert message text IN MY JScript file. I added a new web resource and everything. Now my Custom Alert does not work anymore (no popup comes up at all). Should I delete everything and start again? My Custom Account Form is called AccountDev and that is where placed the Alert Demo (tab). Please help! Thanks!
Hey Casey,
you got 2 options to go, when you add fields to a Form. You can either add an own Tab or a Section inside a Tab:
For each of the scenarios you need to head over to "INSERT" in the navigation and then select what you would like to add. Actually it's pretty self explaining. Important thing to consider before you click on one of the options to create a new Tab or Section is to select a Tab. Note how the Summary tab on my Screenshot is highlighted with a blue border around it.
If I add new Tab now, it will be inserted directly under the Summary Tab. If I add a new section, it will appear all the way at the bottom inside the Summary tab.
Once you got one of the two things added, you can drag your field inside it
Evgeniy,
I was able to create a copy of Account Form, which I called 'AccountDev'. The new AccountDev Form state says Unmanaged. I also created a custom integer field.
I am having trouble adding a new 'Alert Demo' section that contains the custom field, as I don't how insert the section or area to the Body of AccountDev Form (above Summary). Do I add a Quick View Form called Alert Demo ?
Please help!
Thanks,
Casey
