One of the Interesting thing in UCI is the way URL changes while navigating between pages examples
If we navigate to Entity form PageType = Entity , ent=logicallname , ID = guid
If we Navigate to Entity List PageType =EntityList , ViewID =GUID
If we navigate to Dashboard PageType = Dashboard with ID
As per the above image, the URL contains 3 parts
- URL of Environment:Â when we talk about the dynamic Record URL it should also consider when we move from UATto production we should not change it in the Production manual it should automatically take the URL of Environment.DVMSKEUAT.CRM.Dynamics.com to DVMSKEPROD.CRM.Dynamics.com
- App ID:Â Each App has it unique Id if you want that Entity to open in a specific App we need to Define it in the URLappid = GUID
- CMD Bar: CRM Bar is the bar where we navigate throw cmd buttons. We can remove/add-in from window by putting cmdbar= false/true
- NavBar: This is the Blue bar of CRM where we navigate app and entity history, We can Remove/add in form window by setting navbar=on/off
- PageType: it is used to define type of page , Example pagetype=dashboard , pagetype=entitylist , pagetype=entity E.T.C
- ENT:Â ent stands for Entity where we define the name of entity example account, contact, incident in our case
- ID: this defines GUID unique id of the page type or entity we want to retrieve data for example if we using pagetype= Dashboard it will need GUID of Dashboard
