Force calculated field to run on-schedule (not just onLoad)

(1) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by J. O.

All,

I need to send email notifications within a certain time period from when an item will be expired.  DayDiff calculated field would be great but only executes onLoad.  Rollup field would be great but doesn't provide the dateDiff functionality.

Can I force a calculated field to rollup on schedule like a rollup field?  Can I force some js to run?  I have the js already written but obviously can't make the js run on schedule within form property config.

Any

    No, there's no scheduling engine for D365 native to it to begin with.  Further, calculated fields don't work like that.  Your best bet would be to use something like North52, which can both do the math for a field and the schedule.

    not a huge fan of N52.  I can write the code myself.

    I'm just going to write a Scribe job that updates a dummy to trigger what I need.  Thx.
