    I have a HTML web resource that I want to display the name of an account. I can do this within the form via: 

    var accountName = window.parent.Xrm.Page.getAttribute('accountname').getValue();

    However, this doesn't work in the Dashboard view. Anyone have any ideas on what method I should be using?HTML

    Hello,

    Could you share some more details what you are doing in html dashboard, you can't access fields directly as you are not in entity form, so you need to query account entity using service call and then you can get this attribute value to display it.

    Check SDK for REST samples.

    You need to write retrieve call to get account information using SOAP or REST.

    Following code works only when your HTML web resource is placed on Form :

    var accountName = window.parent.Xrm.Page.getAttribute('accountname').getValue();

    I'm familiar with REST and SOAP and can retrieve records; I've also sped up work by using the XRMSVCTOOLKIT, so my REST call is similar to this:

     
function getAccountName()
{
var data; 
XrmSvcToolkit.retrieve({ 
    entityName: "Account", 
    id: GUID, 
    async: false, 
    successCallback: function (result) { 
        data = result;
        var accn = data.FullName;
    }, 
    errorCallback: function (error) { 
       alert("Error");

    } 
});
}


    But once I have the result, how do I use variable accn?

    You could return accn variable or entire data object.

    Or instead of using async. call use sync. call to get account information.
