Open forms, views, and dashboards in mobile client with a URL

Use the new application handler for mobile clients to directly link to forms, views, and dashboards from external applications so that when you click on the link in an external application, the target element opens in Dynamics 365 for phones or Dynamics 365 for tablets. You can also open an empty form for creating a table record.

If you are already signed in and have a model-driven app opened in Dynamics 365 for phones or Dynamics 365 for tablets, the target record is displayed in the mobile client when you click the link in external application. Otherwise, a login screen or the application list is displayed and link opening is cancelled. You must have Dynamics 365 for phones or Dynamics 365 for tablets installed on your mobile device to use this feature.

Query string parameters for the URL

Use the following application handler and query string parameters to compose the URL.

ms-dynamicsxrm://?pagetype=<VALUE>&etn=<VALUE>&id=<VALUE>  

The query string parameters shown in the following table are used.

Query string parameter	Description
