Posted on by Nishkarsh Vaish

Hello all,

I have an entity on create of which a plugin executes. Plugin takes much time so i want to show some loader on the form. The plugin updates the value on the form. Is there any supported way for this? I am using Dynamics 365(Online).

Thanks in Advance

RE: Loader Function

Plugins only run on the server-side, so cannot affect what is displayed on the form. You'll need client script to change the form display. One option could be:

Have the plugin run asynchronously, so the save completes quickly

Add a client script function that runs on the Onload event on the form, and periodically checks if the plugin has updated the data in CRM, and reloads the form when the data has been updated

Hi!

I think you can find it in the right corner, where the icon 'Save' is located. (The loader is spinning there).
After pressing the icon 'Save' the loader starts spinning.

I am not 100%, but I think you can make this by using script - you can create a JavaScript function on save event which will show loader.

Hope this helps

HI Nishkarsh,

Can you provide more details about the plugin?

1. Is it Sync / Async plugin?

2. How much time is it taking to update the value after Create?

RE: Loader Function

It is a Sync Plugin.

Actually am creating the bulk record so the time is totally dependent on the number of records to be generated...

RE: Loader Function

How are you creating the bulk records?

I am a bit confused as to why you want to show a 'loader' on a form while you are doing a bulk load.

Or is your Create of a record triggering the Bulk Create of further sub-children records?

Hi

You can convert your plugin into custom workflow activity and call that custom WF activity in synchronous workflow.

Put field bit field on form and set this this field to Yes from JS and execute your workflow on onchange of this bit field

At the end of workflow Mark this field to No again using Update Setp.

When this field set to Yes put Interval or setimeout method of JS untill it is set to No again by WF and then in Interval or settimeout method show your loader div in JS

Mark as verified, if it works for you
