Hide or Show Tabs & Navigation Items of CRM form in CRM 2011

October 27, 2011 2 comments

Hi,

Below is the JScript to Show or Hide Tabs and Navigation Items on CRM form

//Set “true” to Hide and “false” to show the Tab/Navigation item

Xrm.Page.ui.tabs.get(“tab_name”).setVisible(true/false);

Xrm.Page.ui.navigation.items.get(“navigationlink_name”).setVisible(true/false);

Note :-

  • We can get the ‘Tab’ name, from the Form customization
  • We can get the “Navigation link” name using the IE developer tool (i.e., On the browser Press F12)

Hope it helps 🙂
