CRM 2011 Custom Form Notification

The notification area on the CRM Form is a nice place to put information, warnings and critical information.

This can be easily done with the following javascript function:

 addNotification = function (message, level) { 
 var notificationsArea = document.getElementById('crmNotifications'); 
 if (notificationsArea == null) { 
 alert('div not found'); 
 return; 
 } 
 
 if (level == 1) { //critical 
 notificationsArea.AddNotification('mep1', 1, 'source', message); 
 } 
 if (level == 2) { //Info 
 notificationsArea.AddNotification('mep3', 3, 'source', message); 
 } 
 if (level == 3) { //Warning 
 notificationsArea.AddNotification('mep2', 2, 'source', message); 
 } 
 if(message == "") 
 { 
 notificationsArea.SetNotifications(null, null); 
 } 
 
}

This will result in the following...

  Hi Faisal. This is the using the OOTB notifications area so you can't relocate it. But you could put a web resource on the page in another location that works like the notificaiton area.

  Hi John- If I want to display on the Opportunity Form based on a Picklist option, how would I do this? Create Webresource with code, then do I need to create message? Thanks for any guidance.

  You will put the function that I have above into a common Java Script library. You will associate that library to the opportunity form. Then add JavaScript to the OnChange event of the picklist field that you want to trigger the message. In the on change event you will look at the value of the picklist and set the message using the addNotification function above.
