Client scripting in Customer Engagement using JavaScript
Client-side scripting using JavaScript is one of the ways to apply custom business process logic for displaying data on a form in Dynamics 365 Customer Engagement (on-premises). Forms in Customer Engagement (on-premises) help display data to the user. A form in a Customer Engagement (on-premises) org can contain items such as fields, a quick form, or a grid.
You can also use business rules, which provides a way for someone, who does not know JavaScript and is not a developer, to apply business process logic in a form. More information: Create business rules and recommendations to apply logic in a form
Dynamics 365 Customer Engagement (on-premises) provide you a rich set of client APIs to interact with form objects and events to control what and when to display on a form.
Important
The client-side scripting concepts in Dynamics 365 Customer Engagement (on-premises) are similar to what is applicable in the model-driven apps in Power Apps. Refer to to the client API docs in the model-driven apps section of the Power Apps documentation here: Apply business logic using client scripting in model-driven apps using JavaScript
Some client APIs are deprecated in the current release of Dynamics 365 Customer Engagement (on-premises). Ensure that you are aware of these APIs as you write your client-side code for Customer Engagement. More information: Deprecated client APIs
