Question

You are extending a model-driven app for a sales team. On the Account main form, you must add a ribbon command button that opens a full-screen custom page (a Power Fx canvas-based page) as a centered dialog, passing the current account's GUID so the custom page can load related data. What is the recommended approach to implement the button's action?

Accepted Answer

Configure the command with a JavaScript action that calls Xrm.Navigation.navigateTo with pageType 'custom', the custom page name, and an entityName/recordId, using a navigationOptions target of 2 for a centered dialog.

Answer

Use Xrm.Navigation.openForm and pass the custom page name as the entityName so the platform resolves it to the canvas page.

Answer

Add a URL command that points to the custom page's absolute app URL with the account id appended as a query string parameter.

Answer

Call Xrm.Navigation.openWebResource with the custom page's logical name and set the data parameter to the account GUID.
