In Dynamics CRM, you have the ability to hook onto the OnLoad and OnSave events of an entity. We will go through a simple example.
Open the entity in Customizations. Let’s do this with Accounts. Go to Form Properties:
Under UI Events, you will see the two options for OnLoad and OnSave.
Let’s start with adding a new JavaScript library. Select Add:
And then New:
Enter a name and select JScript:
Select Text Editor:
Add the following code. We will have 2 functions for OnLoad and OnSave:
Save and Publish the JavaScript resource:
Click Add:
We now have our JavaScript script in our library available to the Account form:
Next, let’s add the functions to the OnLoad and OnSave events.
Let’s start with OnLoad.
Click Add:
Select the JavaScript library and enter the function created above:
Repeat with OnSave:
Save and publish the form customizations.
Create a new account. The OnLoad and OnSave will actually run before anything else is done – you will see the alerts displayed. Now, enter some details and press Save. Again we see the OnLoad event runs first, then OnSave:
