Capturing Save Event Arguments using Execution Context Parameter in CRM2011

When working with Dynamics CRM form scripting, there are several occasions where one needs to know the execution event for performing manipulation through scripting. For this reason Dynamics CRM provides execution context as an optional parameter that can be passed to a JScript library function through an event handler.

In below screenshot you can see “Pass execution context as first parameter” check box checked which passes execution context to the script function in CRM form.

There are different ways an entity record gets saved in Microsoft Dynamics CRM. This can be determined by getEventArgs() in execution context parameter as below:

function Form_onsave(executionObj) // exectuionObj passed as First Paramter

{

var eventmode=executionObj.getEventArgs().getSaveMode();

if (eventmode==2) { // returns 2 for Save and Close.

///

// Do the necessary logic

///

    }

}

The above code is an example to check “Save and Close” to perform some action. Similarly we can detect different save by return value from getSaveMode(). Below is the list of different save modes.

Entity	Event Mode	Value
All	Save	1
All	Save and Close	2
All	Save and New	59
Activities	Save as Completed	58
All	Deactivate	5
All	Reactivate	6
User or Team owned entities	Assign	47
Email (E-mail)	Send	7
Lead	Qualify	16
Lead	Disqualify	15
