Best Practices - Client Script

Best Practices - Client Script


Hello everyone!

We are thrilled to share a selection of top-notch practices for optimizing your experience with Client Script in Zoho CRM.

  • Always review your code for accuracy and optimal performance before implementation.
  • Prefer Static Resources to manage the common and utility scripts for reusing code segments, enhancing maintainability, and reducing redundancy.
  •  Create a single page event instead of multiple field events with conditional statements (if-else/switch) whenever necessary.
  • Use the "log" statement to debug the flow of execution.
  • Ensure the third-party domain requests triggered from Client Scripts are verified and added as Trusted Domain in CRM.
  • Always choose the appropriate event that best fits the use case that you're trying to implement.
  • Always design a low-latency and optimal solution for any use case.
  • Elevate your programming skills by using the latest features of Javascript and enhance the performance and compatibility.
  • Use the custom loaders for time-consuming APIs to manage timeouts. 
  • Implement environment-free (sandbox/ production) code design for increasing compatibility and continuous delivery.
  • Regularly update and optimize your scripts according to the evolving needs of your organization.
  • Track changes over time using the Revision Control System on our IDE to monitor the history of your script modifications.
  • You can live preview the script execution before even saving it. Run your code before saving the script to preview its functionality and ensure its quality.

Should you have any further best practices to add beyond what has been outlined here, we welcome you to share them in the comments section.

Your insights are truly valued!
