Advanced [Print in Word]-Button Configuration

Basically, the default [Print in Word]-button contains JavaScript code in the background.

If you are familiar with CRM and JavaScript you can add your own custom buttons to increase the usability of your CRM system. If you are using Dynamics 365, please also have a look at this article here

e.g., you can predefine a template that should be always used to perform the merge. 

You can modify the JavaScript code, so that - based on certain criteria - a template is automatically selected without user interaction.

The following article contains a description of how to change, modify and extend this feature.

First of all, to get access to the Advanced Button Configuration, you have to start the DocumentsCorePack Server Configuration Tool.

On the bottom of the General-tab, you will find the [Advanced Button Configuration]-button.

When clicking on this button, the Advanced Button Configuration-dialog appears.

In this dialog, you can select the entity that you want to manage.
E.g. Already existing custom [Print in Word]-buttons will be listed and can be deleted.

If you press the [Add]-button, the following Edit button-dialog apprears.

The Add-functionality gives you the possibility to define a custom name for your button and you can select
the JavaScript function that should be executed if you hit the generated button.

The DocumentsCorePack Configuration Tool already includes a few Javascript-templates you can use to get started.

The following functions are predefined:

- CustomPrintInwordActionAcount

- PrintQuoteWithSpecificTemplate

With a click on the [Modify JavaScript]-button the JavaScript webresource (ptm_dcp_custombuttonactions.js) is opened in a new CRM window. 

The CRM window allows you to see the detailed JavaScript code by clicking on the [Text-Editor]-button.
