Hi all,

I need to open external url from Sitemap area (screenshot below) but no redirection on main CRM page.

For example if you navigate to "main > Training > Help Center" D365 opens training url (docs.microsoft.com/.../dynamics365#pivot=main&panel=enterprise?sitemappath=HLP%7cHLP_GRP%7cHelp_Resource_Center) on new windows and there is noting change on main D365 screen.

I tried to open webresource and using javascript inside to open window (js : window.open(url);) however webresource displayed on man D365 screen and also open my external url.

If I try to give training page url (go.microsoft.com/.../p) to my navigation item, its icon and url changing automatically and working perfectly :)

I'm also modify my url to "http://MYEXTERNALURL/#pivot=main&panel=enterprise?sitemappath=SFA%7cMyWork%7crms_applicationcenter", but nothing changed.

How can I solve this issue?

Make an HTML webresource then have the tile open that webresource. The following code will get you there just tweak it for your purposes, in this case i'm passing the user id to the url

<html><head>

<script src="ClientGlobalContext.js.aspx" type="text/javascript"></script>

<title>Context Info</title>

<style type="text/css">

body {

background-color: #b0c4de;

}

</style>

<meta charset="utf-8"><style type="text/css">P { margin: 0; }</style></head><body onfocusout="parent.setEmailRange();"><iframe width="1680" height="1050" id="bi" src="" frameborder="0" scrolling="yes"></iframe>

<script type="text/javascript">

var userID=Xrm.Page.context.getUserId();

var ID = userID.substr(0, 38);

window.open("reports.dev.test.org;+ID);

</script>

<br></body></html>

Try to put your external url inside an html webresouce and open the resource from the site map.

Try similar below.

Hi all,

Thank for your response, however I tried all solutions before posting question here. My current webresource (html) code is below,

<!DOCTYPE html> <html lang="en" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"> <head> <meta charset="utf-8" /> <script type="text/javascript"> var url = "my external url"; window.open(url); </script> </head> <body> WEBRESOURCE TEST CONTENT </body> </html>

as you can see I have a variable named "url" and using "window.open" javascript command to open this url.

I'm also tried cover with a function and use "window.onload=myFunction();" or "<body onload="myFunction()">" and also try this metatag "<meta http-equiv="refresh" content="0; url=EXTERNALURL">" but nothing changed, webresource can open my external url on new window however showing itself content on MS CRM main screen.

I want only redirect process when click sitemap, don't want show any content inside MS CRM main screens. If you navigate "Training resources" from your sitemap you'll see what I need.

If you want to reload inside the same window use window.location.replace("[View:http://www.google.com]");

Hi John,

No I don't want load inside same window, I need open new window and actually it's working correctly.

That's what I posted the first time.

This will open the URL in a new tab in the browser window.open("reports.dev.test.org;+ID);
