Rajeev Pentyala – Microsoft Power Platform

We have an Account form hosted in ‘CRM Page’ hosted control on USD. We got a requirement to navigate another page on CRM form Save event.

Below are the steps I initially followed

• Created a new Hosted Control of type ‘CRM Page’

CRM Page Hosted Control

• Go to ‘Events’ from Command Bar and open ‘Saved’ event

Saved event – Hosted Control

• On ‘Saved’ event of Hosted Control, added a new ‘Action’ to Navigate to Bing

Navigate Action

• Save and close
• Open the USD and open ‘Account’ record

But the ‘Saved’ event did not trigger when I click Save button from CRM page.

Reason –

• Looks like this is known issue with my USD version (Got fixed in latest USD version)

Fix –

To fix this, below are workaround steps to hook the ‘Saved’ event to CRM hosted control.

• Open ‘PageLoadComplete’ event of Hosted Control

PageLoadComplete Event

• Create a new ‘Action Call’
  • Action : ExecutionTimeout (Note : Create a new UII action if you can’t find ExecutionTimeout)
  • Data : milliseconds=6000

ExecutionOnTimeout Action Call

• Create a new ‘Sub Action Call’

Sub Action Call

• Add below Script using ‘RunXrmCommand’ Action

Script :

function hookSavedEvent(execContext)

{

window.open(“http://event/?eventname=Saved”); // notify USD of save

setTimeout(“top.ScanForData();”, 4000);

}

// Add ‘hookSavedEvent’ to Save event of CRM form

Xrm.Page.data.entity.addOnSave(hookSavedEvent);

Register Script Action

• Save & Close the forms
• Close and reopen the USD client application to test the behavior now
• Open ‘Account’ form, click on ‘Save’

USD CRM Form Save Action

• We get a new tab with Bing page

USD – Navigated To Bing Page on Save
