Dynamics 365 - Always open in new Window

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by oz909 40

Hi 

I have a customer that wants records to open in a new tab/window in one click. I've shown them the pop-out feature and the right-click 'Open in New Window' feature but it's too many clicks. This is D365 Online v9 with a traditional Web Interface (not Unified Interface).

I understand this can be done in JScript with Xrm.Utility.openEntityForm or the new v9 Xrm.Navigation.openForm. How do I attach JScript to a home page entity view so when the row is clicked (or a field value in a row is clicked) the JScript fires with the correct record GUID?

    RE: Dynamics 365 - Always open in new Window

    Hi everyone

    I have a solution to this which involves creating a field called 'Open' as the first column in the view and using Workflow to build the unique URL with newWindow=true like this:

    testupgrade.crm6.dynamics.com/main.aspx;extraqs=&histKey=589060662&id=%7b95296ED7-4AA0-E811-A96C-000D3AE0BC37%7d&newWindow=true&pagetype=entityrecord#572720297

    Below is how it looks:

    It's working but I would like to change the display text of the URL to just be Open. I tried a few things but can't get it to work. Is this possible maybe with a Plugin in the RetrieveMultiple message? Any other ideas?

    Microsoft's UI direction isn't for everyone. The customer I work with are juggling lots of Cases at once and lots of tabs. They are a traditional office and will not be going mobile in the foreseeable future.

    I'm happy to consider unsupported solutions. I like the Icon and Ribbon Button solutions which you have linked. Could I add an icon to the view then somehow insert a call to a Ribbon script to launch the record in one click?

    Hi ,

    Unfortunately there is no supported way you can attach JavaScript in home entity page to achieve your requirement.

    Yes you may  know that you can only attach JavaScript to add icon in the entity view only.

    Alternatively you can get the selected record using Ribbon button click.
