How can I get the form mode (New, Edit, Display) using jquery (NFW$)?

[vigneshvdm]

I used the below line to check

(window.location.href.toLowerCase().indexOf("mode=1")>0)?NWF$("input.user").val():NWF$("div.user").text()

mode=1 is for edit mode and mode=2 is for display mode

I can confirm that this method works. (Nintex 2016 / SharePoint 2016 On-Premises)

NWF.FormFiller.Events.RegisterAfterReady(function () {

    if ({Common:IsNewMode}) {
        alert('New Mode');
    }

});‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍

Thanks for this confirmation

One caveat: if you are not embedding custom JS but instead linking to a JS file on the server in your form's Custom JavaScript Includes, then these functions will not work automatically. I am assuming that the ({Common:______}) reference is translated into a real function by something in the NWF library, but it's not obvious what would do this.

Thanks for the details

Hi there,
I get an erorr while debugging JS:
SCRIPT5009: 'IsNewMode' is undefined

The start of the JS is simple:

NWF$(document).ready(function () {
if ({Common:IsNewMode}) {
GetUser();
}

...

How come?!

You can detect the form mode in JavaScript using the following syntax:

':IsNewMode'
':IsEditMode'
':IsDisplayMode'

For example:

if ':IsNewMode' {
  alert('Form is in New mode');
}
if ':IsEditMode' {
  alert('Form is in Edit mode');
}
if ':IsDisplayMode' {
  alert('Form is in Display mode');
}

For example:

if ':IsNewMode' {
  alert('Form is in New mode');
}
if ':IsEditMode' {
  alert('Form is in Edit mode');
}
if ':IsDisplayMode' {
  alert('Form is in Display mode');
}

You can always use

var isNewMode = window.location.pathname.indexOf('NewForm.aspx') > -1;

var isDisplayMode = window.location.pathname.indexOf('DisplayForm.aspx') > -1;

var isEditMode = window.location.pathname.indexOf('EditForm.aspx') > -1;

Or use

if(window.location.pathname.indexOf('mode=1') > -1) {

    // edit mode

}

in Nintex Forms for Office 365

Where mode=1 is Edit-Mode and mode=2 is Display-Mode
