Sample: Xrm.Page.data.process.getActivePath

Applies To: Dynamics CRM 2015

This sample demonstrates the data returned when you use the **Xrm.Page.data.process.**6b79eb8c-8293-4d3a-a3a7-ea35157cde37#BKMK_getActivePath method.

Requirements

The Sdk.formOnLoad function in the sample JavaScript library must be set as the OnLoad event handler for a form.

Demonstrates

The **Xrm.Page.data.process.**6b79eb8c-8293-4d3a-a3a7-ea35157cde37#BKMK_getActivePath method returns a collection of stages that represent any previous stages, the current active stage, and the predicted future stages taking into account the branching conditions and the current form data. Each stage has a getSteps method that you can use to retrieve information about each step in the stage.

This sample illustrates the use of some of the methods in the Xrm.Page.data.process API. It doesn’t represent using this API to meet a business requirement; it’s only intended to demonstrate how the key property values can be accessed in code.

Example

The Sdk.formOnLoad function uses the Xrm.Page.data.process.getActivePath method to retrieve a collection of stages. Then, the sample code uses the forEach method of the collection to loop through each stage. The code then writes key properties of the stage to the console using the Sdk.writeToConsole function defined in this library. The code then accesses a collection of steps for each stage using the getSteps method. Finally, the sample uses the forEach method of the steps collection to access each step and write key properties of the step to the console.

var Sdk = window.Sdk || { __namespace: true };
(function () {

 // A function to log messages while debugging only
 this.writeToConsole = function (message) {
  if (typeof console != 'undefined')
  { console.log(message); }
 };

 //Code to run in the OnLoad event 
 this.formOnLoad = function () {
  //Enumerate the stages and steps in the active path
  var activePathCollection = Xrm.Page.data.process.getActivePath();
  activePathCollection.forEach(function (stage, n) {
   Sdk.writeToConsole("Stage Index: " + n);
   Sdk.writeToConsole("Entity: " + stage.getEntityName());
   Sdk.writeToConsole("StageId: " + stage.getId());
   Sdk.writeToConsole("Status: " + stage.getStatus());
   var stageSteps = stage.getSteps();
   stageSteps.forEach(function (step, i) {
    Sdk.writeToConsole("    Step Name: " + step.getName());
    Sdk.writeToConsole("    Step Attribute: " + step.getAttribute());
    Sdk.writeToConsole("    Step Required: " + step.isRequired());
    Sdk.writeToConsole("    ---------------------------------------")
   })
   Sdk.writeToConsole("---------------------------------------")
  });
 };
}).call(Sdk);

When the sample runs in the browser, you can use the developer tools of the browser to view the text written to the console. For example, when this sample is run in the Lead entity form with the Lead to Opportunity Sales Process, the following is written to the console:
