Introduction<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Often we use Dynamic 365 Time Control when we want to keep track of time based on a certain date.<\/p>\n

E.g. Whether a Lead has been qualified before the estimated close date etc.<\/p>\n

In this blog, we will see how we can programmatically get the status of the Time Control using form scripting.<\/p>\n

To know more about Time control and how to configure it, please follow this link<\/a>.<\/p>\n

In this example, I have configured the Time Control for Case Entity and on the load of the Form it will check the status of the Timer Control and show the Status as a Form Notification.<\/p>\n

If the case is resolved before the Resolve By<\/strong> period then it is considered under Success<\/strong> and similarly, if the case is in the Cancelled<\/strong> stage then it is considered as Failure<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

\"GetState<\/a><\/p>\n

Syntax: formContext.getControl(\u201c<Your Timer Control Name>\u201d).getState()<\/strong>;<\/p>\n

The name property of the Timer Control would be the logical name.<\/p>\n

\"GetState<\/a><\/p>\n

Code: <\/strong><\/p>\n

To check and show the Timer Control as Form Notification, I have registered a script on Load of the form.<\/p>\n

Note:<\/strong><\/p>\n
As per Microsoft docs<\/a> the Get State method returns the values as shown in the below table:<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
Returned Value<\/th>\nStatus Value<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<\/thead>\n
1<\/td>\nNot Set<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
2<\/td>\nIn progress<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
3<\/td>\nWarning<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
4<\/td>\nViolated<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
5<\/td>\nSuccess<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
6<\/td>\nExpired<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
7<\/td>\nCanceled<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
8<\/td>\nPaused<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n
Conclusion<\/strong><\/h2>\n
Thus by using the Get State method we can get the status of the timer control and use it as per our requirement, as we have used it to notify the user in\u00a0our example. In the below screenshot we can see the final result i.e. when the Timer control is set to the Nearing Expiry<\/strong> status a form notification gets set accordingly.<\/p>\n
