Posted on by Furqan Majeed

I Want to display the confirmation message to the user before saving the appountment. I have coded that, however the confirmation message is popping up but form saves before it. The logic I want is When user saves the form --> show a confirmation message -> if select ok proceed to save else selected cancel -> escape the save button. My confirmation pop up displays but does not prevent save.

Hi,

There are different options we can use to make this work, but one of them would be to display a warning message form the on-save. That means we would need to do a few things:

Add an on-save handler

Display a warning message

Allow the user to click “ok” or “cancel” in that message

If the user clicks “ok”, we should still save the record

And we will likely need to disable autosave, at least in that particular OnSave handler

Here is what I ended up with:

And here is what I had to do to get it to work:

Step 1: Download alert.js and install the solution

First, I went to the alert.js github page ( Alert.js ) and downloaded the solution from there:

Step 2: Add a web resource

Then, I’ve added the following script to a web resource:

var isConfirmed = false; function onSave(executionObj) { var eventArgs = executionObj.getEventArgs(); if(eventArgs.getSaveMode() == 70)//AUTOSAVE { eventArgs.preventDefault(); return; } var condition = Xrm.Page.getAttribute("name").getValue() == "123";//If not “123”, display a confirmation if(!condition && !isConfirmed) { eventArgs.preventDefault(); Alert.show("This is not a 123 account", "Are you sure you want to save the changes?", [ new Alert.Button("Save", confirmCallback, true), new Alert.Button("Cancel") ], "WARNING"); } else { isConfirmed = false;//Reset the flag for the next save } } function confirmCallback() { isConfirmed = true;//to make sure we don't display alert dialog from onSave this time Xrm.Page.data.save(); }

Step 3: Add web resources to the form

After that, I’ve added my new web resource to the form together with the Alert.js web resource:

Step 4: Configure OnSave handler for the form

Step 5: Save, Publish All, and Run a test

But I still wanted to clarify a couple of things

Alert.show call does not block javascript execution. That’s the reason there is a call back function there, and there is a call to Xrm.Page. data.save() from that callback.

And I needed that additional isConfirmed boolean variable so the script would not display the confirmation dialog every time.

Hope this helps!

Venkatesh N
