I have several custom reports and I would like to be able to add buttons to the ribbon that trigger them.
Is it possible? And if so, any examples would be great !
Thanks in advance !
To run a report from a ribbon button you need to create a js file with a function you'll be calling from your button.
You need 4 things:
rdlName - rdl file name.
reportGuid GUID of the report.
entityGuid = Entity GUID wich you run report for.
entityType = Entity Object Type Code.
Here is the example.
function printOutOnClick() {
// This function generates a Print out
var rdlName = "SomeReport.rdl";
var reportGuid = "9A984A27-34E5-E011-B68F-005056AC478A";
var entityGuid = Xrm.Page.data.entity.getId();//Here I am getting Entity GUID it from it's form
var entityType = "4214";
var link = serverUrl + "/" + organizationName + "/crmreports/viewer/viewer.aspx?action=run&context=records&helpID=" + rdlName + "&id={" + reportGuid + "}&records=" + entityGuid + "&recordstype=" + entityType;
openStdDlg(link, null, 800, 600, true, false, null);
}
openStdDlg() is the wrapper around window.open() MS Dynamics CRM uses it itself, so do I.
To add it to a ribbon button you need to do like in this post How to start a Dialog from Application Ribbon (CRM 2011) except you need to call report instead a dialog.
After the RDL name the Guid should be RecordGuid not EntityGuid

I have an online html form that uses a select field to choose a record from an existing record list (postcodes specifically) which then auto-populates other fields on the form with the rest of the address. This all works fine except that the dropdown list on the form only goes up so far. I need to know if this a limit on the html dropdown or how many records can be passed to the list in the first place?
Also, ideally, it would be great if there was a way to do it via auto-complete so as you start typing the postcode, it only shows those beginning with said characters - is this possible?
I would set up a custom html template for your online form. You can then hide your standard field and include a custom text input field. Attach an event handler to the custom field to do the lookup via a suitelet. If the auto-population is already working then your event handler can update the hidden standard field once a match is made so Netsuite's built-in sourcing works.
A sample suitelet. The get... functions return anything that can be JSON used by your page.
function service(request, response) {
var obj = {
success: true
};
try {
var step = request.getParameter('step') || 'start';
switch (step) {
case 'start':
obj.choices = getChoiceRoots(request.getParameter('itemid'), request.getParameter('treeName'));
break;
case 'other':
obj.choices = getChoiceChildren(request.getParameterValues('choiceIds[]') || request.getParameterValues('choiceIds'));
break;
default:
throw "Unexpected step: " + step;
}
} catch (e) {
obj.success = false;
obj.message = e.message || e.toString();
nlapiLogExecution('ERROR', "error getting choices", (e.message || e.toString()) + "<br> " + request.getURL() + (e.getStackTrace ? "<br> " + e.getStackTrace().join("<br> ") : ''));
}
_sendJS(request, response, obj);
function _sendJS(request, response, respObject) {
response.setContentType('JAVASCRIPT'); //'application/json');
var callbackFcn = request.getParameter("jsoncallback") || request.getParameter('callback');
if (callbackFcn) {
response.writeLine(callbackFcn + "(" + JSON.stringify(respObject) + ");");
} else response.writeLine(JSON.stringify(respObject));
}
}
Then on your page you'd have a script that uses the suitelet. (the suitelet needs to be available without login and the audience needs to be All.
The code on your custom template or associated script file would look something like:
//suiteletURL will look like https://forms.netsuite.com. RegExp makes that root relative to the domain you are on.
//This is not actually necessary when using JSONP but it can be useful in some circumstances so I left it in this example.
$.getJSON(suiteletURL.replace(new RegExp(".*://[^/]+/"), '/')+"&"+$.param(params) +"&callback=?",
function(d, txtStatus,xhr){
if(d.errorCode){
if(fail){
fail(xhr, txtStatus, null);
}else{
showMessage("#appMessage", d.errorMessage || ("Request Failed with code: "+xhr.responseJSON.errorCode));
}
}else{
success(d, txtStatus, xhr); // your custom success handler. d is already an object; no parsing necessary.
}
});
The main problem is that I have a dropdown menu whose options should be updated dynamically.
The workflow is as follows:
I have an input element connected to an ng-model called toSubmit that when longer than 3 characters should fire an http.get call to fetch the list that should populate the dropdown menu.
So this list will change everytime the toSubmit variable changes. Let's call this list database (in the controller it is $scope.database.
What I am trying right now is a very simple solution that doesn't work most probably because the html DOM that contains the dropdown list is loaded at the very beginning and does not keep track of the changes in the options.
In my controller I have the following part which watches over toSubmit:
$scope.toSubmit = '';
$scope.$watch('toSubmit',function(query){
if (query.length >= 3){
getQueryDatabases.companyNameService({'field':'name','query':query,'numberOfHits':'10'},'CIK').prom.then(
function(dataObject){
$scope.database = dataObject;
// dataObject.forEach(function(item){
// $scope.databaseString.push(item.cik + ' ' + item.companyName);
});
});
}
});
And my html looks like the following:
<label for="nameCompany">Name:</label>
<input type="text" ng-model="toSubmit"></input>
<select ng-model="database" ng-options="line in database"></select>
Now my take was take by binding database with ng-Model I would get the result but I am most likely wrong. Can someone please help me?
I recommend you to use select2 that'll handle things like limiting input before server request and have great look and extendibility.
You need to add angular-ui-select2 to your project.
Here is code for you:
Html:
<input class='form-control' data-ng-model='position.company' data-ng-required data-placeholder='Company:' data-ui-select2='employerSelect2Options' id='company_name' type='hidden'>
JavaScript:
$scope.employerSelect2Options = {
minimumInputLength: 2,
query: function (query) {
var _query = query;
var companies = Restangular.all('companies').getList({query: query.term});
companies.then(function(data) {
var results = {results: []};
_.each(data, function(element, index, list) {
results.results.push({id: element.id, text: element.name});
})
if(!_.contains(_.map(data, function(element){ return element.name; }), _query.term)) {
results.results.push({id: _query.term , text: 'Create company "' + _query.term + '"'});
}
_query.callback(results);
})
}
};
My example also contains logic for add "create company" if zero results returned. In this case position.company will contain text of non found company name in id field and you can check it on server side and create one before assigning id.
This logic in
if(!_.contains
condition.
I am using the SSRS 2008r API to create and manage SSRS from a webform application. When creating a folder I see where I can add a folder name as well as specify additional meta data (custom properties) that can be a part of the folder. My question is how do I populate additional fields in the catalog database via the api. When I look at the CreateFolder method the only properties I can add at the insert are folder name, path, and custom properties:
rs.CreateFolder(folderName, "/", props); // foldername is a string passed in from the form
However I would also like to set at this time the description, and hidden value.
I'd appreciate any suggestions on how this is accomplished. Every example I have seen within MSDN only shows setting the folder name, path, and custom properties.
thanks in advance
Set the item properties (Description and Hidden) by initializing a Property class for each. Never done it before, but I'm guessing it would look something like this (assuming C#):
...
// description property
Property description = new Property();
description.Name = "Description";
description.Value = "Your description here.";
// hidden property
Property hidden = new Property();
hidden.Name = "Hidden";
hidden.Value = "True"; // not sure on value here, may be True/False, Yes/No
// build properties array
props[0] = description;
props[1] = hidden;
// create folder
rs.CreateFolder(folderName, "/", props); // foldername is a string passed in from the form
I am struggling to figure out how to do this with MVC,
I have an entity framework object that has a comma separated list from the db, (can't change the fact that its a horrible csl in the db). I can easily display the list and let them edit it manually. This is rather error prone and would like to split them up and display a list of them in the view. Then allow the user to click a link / button and have them removed from the string and db and the page refreshed to reflect this.
My first thought was to use JQuery to do a ajax json post to do a delete for each item the click an #Html.ActionLink for. I could get it to do the async post back and it would delete the item and would send back a string representing the new string list which I could update the UL with. The second time they clicked a link it would give me a 404, the script I used is:
<script type="text/javascript">
$(document).ready(function () {
$('.viewSeasonsLink').click(function () {
var data =
{
item: $(this).parents('li').first().find('.flagName').text(),
deploymentId: #Model.Id
};
$.post(this.href, data, function (result) {
var list = $("#testme");
list.empty();
var items = result.split(",");
$(items).each(function(index) {
// /* var link = '"' + #Html.ActionLink("Remove", "RemoveItemFromList", "Deployment", null, new { #class = "viewSeasonsLink" }) + '"'; */
var link = '<a class="viewSeasonsLink" href="/SAMSite/Deployment/RemoveItemFromList">Remove</a>';
list.append('<li><span class="flagName">' + items[index] + '</span> - ' + link + ' </li>');
/* list.append('<li><span class="flagName">' + items[index] + '</span> - ' + '\'' + #Html.ActionLink("Remove", "RemoveItemFromList", "Deployment", null, new { #class = "viewSeasonsLink" }) + '\'</li>'); */
});
}, "json");
return false;
});
});
</script>
I could not get the action link to work with the jquery script, so tried hard coding it, still not success.
I then thought I would just try and do a simple actionlink back to a method to remove it and return the normal view, again this posts and will update the db, but will not refresh the webpage at all.
<ul id="testme2">
#foreach (string flag in ViewBag.FeatureFlags)
{
<li><span class="flagName">#flag</span> - #Html.ActionLink("Remove", "RemoveItemFromListTest", "Deployment", null, new { #class = "viewSeasonsLink" })</li>
}
</ul>
public ActionResult RemoveItemFromListTest(string item, int deploymentId)
{
Deployment deployment = db.Deployments.Single(d => d.Id == deploymentId);
ViewBag.CustomerId = new SelectList(db.Customers, "Id", "Name", deployment.CustomerId);
List<string> featureFlags = deployment.FeatureFlags.Split(new[] { ',' }, StringSplitOptions.RemoveEmptyEntries).ToList();
featureFlags.Remove(item);
deployment.FeatureFlags = ConvertBackToCommaList(featureFlags);
ViewBag.FeatureFlags = featureFlags;
//db.SaveChanges();
return View("Edit", deployment);
}
EDIT
released I was being a bit daft at one point:
The second test to get it to do a full post back and do the update was still getting caught by the jquery, (also was not passing in the values). I changed the line to this:
<li><span class="flagName">#flag</span> - #Html.ActionLink("Remove", "RemoveItemFromListTest", "Deployment", new { item = #flag, deploymentId = Model.Id }, null)</li>
which does work, but is a bit naff, it would mean any changes made to the form before the remove link clicked would be lost.
I think I see two issues. One is the initial .Post on the viewSeasonsList click event. You are posting back to the Action that loaded the page, not the Action that will handle the delete. I doesn't seem to me that they would be the same Action base on the approach you described.
var url = '/SAMSite/Deployment/RemoveItemFromList';
then
$.post(url, data, function (result) {
Second, in the Ajax response, when you are rebuilding the list, you are including an href attribute for the links. Why? you are not navigating with those links, you are initiating an Ajax request, which has already been set up.
var link = '<a class="viewSeasonsLink">Remove</a>';
ultimately I had one main problem with the jquery solution. When I added a new LI element it was not being hooked up to the ajax call as this was just happening at document.ready. I now replaced the simple .click with a delegate that will also hook up all elements that are added after the ready event, credit to this page for help with it:
$('#featureflaglist').delegate('.removeflaglink', 'click', RemoveFlagFromList);
i have used "GO To Url" property of RDLC set to below value;
=parameters!ParamUrl.Value +"ReportUIs/MonthlyReport.aspx?SpecDate=" + Fields!SpecDate.Value.ToString() + "&TrainPK=" + Fields!TrainNo.Value.ToString() + ""
And it works fine with same tab or form. I want make this URL opened in new tab or window?
How can i give like Target=_blank option for this ?
tried this; works well but issue with the main form(first form):->
="javascript:window.open('"+parameters!ParamUrl.Value +"ReportUIs/MonthlyReport.aspx?SpecDate=" + Fields!SpecDate.Value.ToString() + "&TrainPK=" + Fields!TrainNo.Value.ToString() + "');"
Set the "HyperlinkTarget" property of Report viewer to -> HyperlinkTarget="_blank"
