  HI Krithi,

  Please try below functions instead of crmGrid.Refresh().

  //refreshes the entire element in the parent window that contains the view
  window.parent.opener.location.reload();
  
  //refreshes just the grid control that contains the view
  window.parent.opener.document.getElementById("crmGrid").control.refresh();

  Hi KriSree,

  I found another workaround.

  on load of the entity call this function.

  function mainGrid(){
  window.setInterval("window.parent.opener.location.reload();", 10000);
  }

  
  

  Regards,

  Saad

  Hi Saad, 

  thanks  for the  code.

  This will  refresh  the  grid  only  after opening  a  record   from the  grid  .    We  have to  write  this  on the  onload  of the  opening  form . 

  The  requirement  is  to  reload  the  view  for every 3  sec  with  out  any  manual  intervention 

  thanksKr

  Hi KriSree,

  First time to trigger this code we have to open the record. After that it runs automatically.

  Anyways, you can add this refresh function homepage.aspx page of root folder and try.

  Regards,

  Saad

  Hi,

  Kindly comment whether following operations can be performed or not

  Is it  possible  to  write  custom  FETCH XML  query  on the  OOTB  view   ?

  Generally Fetch XML is used to retrieve values, whether it can be customized to update any field values /perform operations(arithmetic,aggregate) on it?

  Hi,

  Like you mentioned, FetchXML can only be used to retrieve values, true! It CANNOT be used to update any fields, you must use oData for that.

  Hi  ,

  We  are  not   able  to  achieve  this  using  Manual  intervention  .  

  After the  first  Contact  record  is  opened  ,  the  timer  is set  on  in the  Contact.js   to  refresh the  parent  view  .

  thanks

  Krithi
