Suppose we have configured the Entity List view for showing Contact records

https://nishantrana.me/2017/02/02/using-entity-list-to-show-crm-data-in-portal-in-dynamics-365/

Next we want to update the record in the list, for this we need to configure Web Page for Details View field of the Entity List record.

Here we have specified Contact Details Page web page, this web page has Update Entity Form for Contact in it.

This adds the link for opening the edit page.

Edit Page: –

On Submitting the update, the record gets updated.

Similarly, we can associate a create page having Insert Entity Form in it.

https://nishantrana.me/2017/02/02/using-entity-list-to-show-crm-data-in-portal-in-dynamics-365/

Now we want to add some JavaScript to it. For this we can use the Custom JavaScript field in Options tab of Entity List.


$(document).ready(function () {

$("#EntityListControl").on("loaded", function () {

$('#EntityListControl td').filter(function () {
return this.textContent === "SYSTEM"
}).css("color", "red");

});
});

We can make use of jQuery for this. The above code selects the TD with text System and highlights it with red font colour.

Add Attach File additional settings in Entity Form in Portal in Dynamics 365

For attaching files along with an entity form through the portal, we can make use of the Add Attach File section in the Additional Settings tab of Entity Form.

For e.g. in the below Contact Us form, we have checked Attach File check box which basically add the File Control to the web page in the portal.

Allow Multiple Files lets the user attach multiple files. Label would be the label for the control.

Attach File Required option makes attaching a file mandatory and the Required Error message shows the associated error message.

Attach File Save Option– Notes i.e. files are stored as attachment to notes.

Let us see how the settings effects the display and functionality in the Portal.
