CRM 2015 – Javascript – Opening an Entity Form from Javascript

http://www.dynamicsmonster.com/blogs/post/CRM-2015-Javascript-Opening-an-Entity-Form-from-Javascript/

Digging in the JavaScript to create my own framework that will make my live and my colleagues live easier. Sometimes we need to open entity records windows, and the most common way of doing that if you ask a JavaScript developer is window.open.  However, as best practices Microsoft says to use the CRM own framework to do that. So, instead of doing: function openDialogProcess(dialogId, entityName, objectId) { var url = Xrm.Page.context.getClientUrl() + "/cs/dialog/rundialog.aspx?DialogId=" + dialogId + "&EntityName=" + entityName + "&ObjectId=" + objectId; window.open(url); } Do: Xrm.Utility.openEntityForm("account","A85C0252-DF8B-E111-997C-00155D8A8410"); More detail about what you can do: From: https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/72a66f93-92df-42b9-a8fd-b6125c7fe83b#BKMK_OpenEntityForm Opens an entity form.
