In this article, lets see how to use Emoji’s to capture the data in Portal’s Forms.

It’s very simple to achieve. All you need to do is to set the Dynamics ‘Option Set’ field’s ‘Label’ with ‘Emoji’.

Below is the ‘HOW’ part.

Create an ‘Option Set’ field with ‘Emojis’:

• In Dynamics, create a new ‘Option Set’ Field with 2 options
• In the Option’s ‘Label’ paste the Emoji.

• Place this ‘Option Set’ field on the Dynamics Form and View which are being referred in your portal’s ‘Entity Form’ and ‘Entity List’.

Make ‘Options’ to render side by side in Portal:

• By default, ‘Option Set’ renders as ‘Drop down’ control in Portal.
• To show the ‘Options’ as Side by Side, add a new ‘Metadata’ to ‘Entity Form’.

Test the Emojis in Portal:

• Navigate to Portal and open the ‘Employees’ view. Option Set value would renders as ‘Emoji’

• Open the record and you should get ‘Emojis’ rendered side by side.

Note:

• You can ‘Copy’ the Emoji from here . Search the Emoji as per your requirement and click ‘Copy’.

• The rendering of Emojis will be same in ‘Dynamics Web Application’.
