In our earlier posts, we had explained number of Sage CRM Client Side techniques that can be used to customize Sage CRM Screens, Grids, and Fields etc. In this blog, we will explain how to identify the mode of the screen using Client side API method.
New Stuff: Display Custom Tool tips in Calendar Tab
The two basic modes that we can identify using Client Side code are View and Edit mode. Sometimes we come across the scenario of hiding the field or performing some action on View mode (onload of page) or in edit mode of the screen.
In Sage CRM v7.1sp2 and earlier, we use the method getElementById to detect mode in Client Side code. Refer the sample code below.
<SCRIPT>
if (window.addEventListener)
window.addEventListener(“load”, ScreenMode, false)
if (window.attachEvent)
window.attachEvent(“onload”, ScreenMode)
function ScreenMode ()
{
var e=document.getElementById(“comp_name”);
if(e)
{
//Mode is edit
else
{
//Mode is view
}
}
</SCRIPT>
Now with the introduction of new client side API things have become fairly simple if you are using Javascript or JQuery functions in your program.
Sage CRM 7.2 Client Side API offers a method to identify the mode of the screen. All we need to do is write a simple code on the custom content of the screen to identify the mode of the screen. Refer the below code.
<SCRIPT>
crm.ready(function()
{
var sMode = crm.fields(“comp_name”).getMode();
if (sMode ==”edit”)
{
crm.infoMessage(sMode);
//’handle your operation in edit mode
}
else
{
crm.infoMessage(sMode);
//’handle your operation in edit mode
}
}
</SCRIPT>

Screenshot 2: View Mode Screen
In the above sample code snippet we are considering Company Screen as example and the field name comp_name as the identifying field factor to identify the mode. Similarly you can use other field as example, but ensure the field does exist on the screen.
