Parameters

ParameterDescription
etn
The logical name of the entity.
ImportantImportant
Do not use the etc (entity type code) parameter that contains an integer code for the entity. This integer code varies for custom entities in different organizations.
extraqs
Optional for forms. This parameter contains encoded parameters within this parameter.
Use this parameter to pass values to a form. For more information, see Set field values using parameters passed to a form.
When an entity has more than one form defined, you can use this parameter to specify which form to open by passing the encoded parameter formid with the value equal to the ID value of the form. For example, to open a form with the ID of ‘6009c1fe-ae99-4a41-a59f-a6f1cf8b9daf’, include this value in the extraqs parameter: formid%3D6009c1fe-ae99-4a41-a59f-a6f1cf8b9daf%0D%0A.
pagetype
The type of page. There are two possible values:
  • entityrecord

    Displays an entity record form.
  • entitylist

    Displays an entity view.
id
Optional for forms. Use this when you open a specific entity record. Pass in the encoded GUID identifier for the entity. The encoded version of the GUID substitutes opening and closing brackets “{“ and “}” with “%7B” and “%7D”, respectively, for example {91330924-802A-4B0D-A900-34FD9D790829} is %7B91330924-802A-4B0D-A900-34FD9D790829%7D.
viewid
Required for views. This is the ID of the savedquery or userquery entity record that defines the view. The easiest way to get the URL for a view is to copy it. For more information, see Copy the URL for a View.
viewtype
Defines the view type. Possible values are as follows:
  • 1039

    Use for a system view. The viewid represents the Id of a savedquery record.
  • 4230

    Use for a personal view. The viewid represents the Id of a userquery record.
navbar
Controls whether the navigation bar is displayed and whether application navigation is available using the areas and subareas defined in the sitemap.
  • on

    The navigation bar is displayed. This is the default behavior if the navbar parameter is not used.
  • off

    The navigation bar is not displayed. People can navigate using other user interface elements or the back and forward buttons.
  • entity

    On an entity form, only the navigation options for related entities are available. After navigating to a related entity, a back button is displayed in the navigation bar to allow returning to the original record.
cmdbar
Controls whether the command bar is displayed.
noteNote
This capability supports requirements for the Unified Service Desk for Microsoft Dynamics CRM application.
Using this to display an entity form within an IFrame embedded in another entity form is not supported.

  • true

    The command bar is displayed. This is the default.
  • false

    The command bar is hidden.
Example:
We want to open the project quote entity in the new window and when we click save& close, the window must be close.

Open the project quote entity in a new window and have close window when click save & close
//Open the project quote in a new window
  var strURL = "main.aspx?etc=10046&pagetype=entityrecord&newWindow=true&histKey=888185290&extraqs=";
//histKey=888185290:  If histkey is not available then if you click save & close window will close instead it just show the list of projectquote in grid.
 // When you give histkey in the URL then click save & close button window itself close.
//Form the parameter when the form is open set the default value to fill in the form.
//Set projectstatus as draft when the form is open.
  var strQuoteId = "kti_projectquotestatus=963548";
//you can also pass multiple parameter with & symbol.
  var strQuoteStatus = "&Description='new value filled'";
   var strExtras = strQuoteId + strQuoteStatus;
    //Set features for how the window will appear.
   var features = "location=no,menubar=no,status=no,toolbar=no";
   window.open(strURL + encodeURIComponent(strExtras), "_blank", features, false);

Open a new account record using the default form
