Hello,
Is there a way to pass the parameters and access them from onload of the form to the Xrm.Navigation.navigateTo({pageType:”entityrecord”, entityName:”contact”, formType:2} or send data to auto populate the data when the form opens in the modal likewise we have it in the Xrm.Navigation.Openform?
If you want to have a step by step guide how to populate data into a form using the "navigateTo()" function, please feel free to have a look at this blog entry:
Hello Ravi,
You can use 'openForm' function which will help you to open a quick create form.

var pageProperty = {
pageType: "entityrecord",
entityName: "account",
formType: 2,
data: ???? // what need to goes here if I need to set name or primarycontact on account
};
var navigationProperty = {
target: 2,
width: { value: 80, unit: "%" },
position: 1
};
Xrm.Navigation.navigateTo(pageProperty, navigationProperty);
This works
function LaunchMyForm() {
var extraqs = {};
extraqs["new_firstname"] = GetText(_formContext, "firstname");
extraqs["new_lastname"] = GetText(_formContext, "lastname");
extraqs["new_mobilephone"] = GetText(_formContext, "mobilephone");
extraqs["new_city"] = GetText(_formContext, "address1_city");
extraqs["new_homephone"] = GetText(_formContext, "telephone2");
extraqs["new_otherphone"] = GetText(_formContext, "telephone1");
extraqs["new_personalemail"] = GetText(_formContext, "emailaddress2");
extraqs["new_state"] = GetText(_formContext, "address1_city");
extraqs["new_zippostalcode"] = GetText(_formContext, "address1_postalcode");
var pageInput = {
pageType: "entityrecord",
entityName: "new_myform",
createFromEntity: "",
data: extraqs
};
var navigationOptions = {
target: 2, // 2 is for opening the page as a dialog; 1 is inline
height: { value: 80, unit: "%" },
width: { value: 80, unit: "%" },
position: 1 // 1: Center. 2: on the side
};
Xrm.Navigation.navigateTo(pageInput, navigationOptions).then(
function success() { }, //A function to execute on successful navigation to the page when navigating inline and on closing the dialog when navigating to a dialog.
function error() { } //A function to execute when the operation fails.
);
}
where GetTest() ==
function GetText(formContext, attributeName) {
var textValue = "";
try {
var oAttribute = formContext.data.entity.attributes.get(attributeName);
if (oAttribute !== null) {
textValue = oAttribute.getValue();
}
}
catch (err) { /*do nothing*/ }
return textValue === null ? "" : textValue;
}
Hi Vamsi,
I don't see the "data" parameter in your code?
It's required to pass parameters:
data: (Optional) Object. A dictionary object that passes extra parameters to the form. Invalid parameters will cause an error.
For information about passing parameters to a form, see Set field values using parameters passed to a form and Configure a form to accept custom querystring parameters.

Thanks for that info henry. Actually I have tried some thing like below but no luck ?
Any thing missing or is it actually correct way of passing ?
Hi Vamsi,
Yes, navigateTo supports passing parameters.The docs page hasn't been updated yet to document how, yet.
I've obtained a draft of the new docs page, where the "data" parameter is mentioned.
Please use at your own risk while the docs page gets officially updated:
| Name | Type | Required | Description | ||||||||||||||||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| pageInput | Object | Yes |
Input about the page to navigate to. The object definition changes depending on the type of page to navigate to: entity list, entity record, or HTML web resource. ---------------------------------------------------------------- entity list The object contains the following attributes:
---------------------------------------------------------------- entity record The object contains the following attributes:
---------------------------------------------------------------- HTML web resource The object contains the following attributes:
|
||||||||||||||||||
| navigationOptions | Object | No |
Options for navigating to a page: whether to open inline or in a dialog. If you don't specify this parameter, page is opened inline by default. The object contains the following attributes:
|
||||||||||||||||||
| successCallback | function | No |
A function to execute on successful navigation to the page when navigating inline and on closing the dialog when navigating to a dialog. |
||||||||||||||||||
| errorCallback | Function | No |
A function to execute when the operation fails. |
