Pass record GUID to IFRAME report - Error: The expected parameter has not been supplied

ReportReport
Posted on by Charlotte Henighan 280

Hello,

I have created a report in VS with a parameter of the record ID.  I have added this to an IFRAME on an entity and works fine when the ID is manually entered on the report but when the parameter is hidden it doesn't pull the GUID.

IFRAME Properties:

URL: about:blank
Pass record object: Un-ticked
Restrict cross-frame: Un-ticked

JavaScript:

 var iframeObject = Xrm.Page.getControl("IFRAME_Customer_Report");

 if (iframeObject != null) {
  var strURL = "/CRMReports/viewer/viewer.aspx"
  + "?action=run&context=records&helpID="
  + "Customer_Report"
  + ".rdl&id=%7b"
  + "BAAA0325-B7EE-E611-80DD-00155B0A5A09"
  + "%7d&records="
  + Xrm.Page.data.entity.getId()
  + "&recordstype=1";

 //Set URL of iFrame
 iframeObject.setSrc(strURL);
 }

I'm not sure if it's the javascript above that's incorrect as I found this online.

    Looking at the URL created it shows that the javascript is running as requested and adding the GUID to the end of the string, but doesn't look like CRM is using this as the parameter value.

    /CRMReports/viewer/viewer.aspx?action=run&context=records&helpID=Customer_Overview.rdl&id=%7bBAAA0325-E7EF-E611-80DD-00155D0A5A09%7d&records=%7bE85B375E-64EC-E611-80DD-00155D0A5A09%7d&recordstype=1

    I'm really lost as most articles I have read, states adding the GUID like this works, wondering if its different in 2011 to 2015. Someone recommended changing 'records' before the GUID to the parameter name will help but then I get another error and the report doesn't load.

    Hi Charlotte,

    Can you use the encodeURI() method to encode your GUID?

    That JavaScript method will take care of { and }.

    The value brings back { } either side of the ID, will this cause an issue?

    Hi Charlotte,

    Can you check the value of Xrm.Page.data.entity.getId() (using alert/console.log) before you create the iframeObject variable?

    Regards,

    Charmis
