Dynamics 365: Page reload after setTimeout

Question

I have a scenario in Quote form, where when the record is on a status, to display a Progress Indicator, but when status changes (from another procedure), this indicator must close.

function showIndicator(executionContext){
    var formContext = executionContext.getFormContext();
    var status = formContext.getAttribute('statuscode').getValue();
    var message = 'Quote is being processing'
    if(status == 493430001){
        Xrm.Utility.showProgressIndicator(message);
        setTimeout(function () {
                //Refresh Form
                formContext.data.refresh(false);
                });
        }, 3000);
    }else{
        Xrm.Utility.closeProgressIndicator();
    }
}

This function executes on load of the page. I want to refresh page after 3sec and check again the status of the record, if it's still processing, to display the message, and then again refresh after 3sec

Answer 1

Instead of setTimeout, use setInterval

function showIndicator(executionContext){
    var formContext = executionContext.getFormContext();
    var status = formContext.getAttribute('statuscode').getValue();
    var message = 'Quote is being processing'
    if(status == 493430001){
        Xrm.Utility.showProgressIndicator(message);
        setInterval(function () {
                showIndicator(executionContext);
        }, 3000);
    }else{
        Xrm.Utility.closeProgressIndicator();
    }
}
