    var saveEvt = context.getEventArgs();
    if (Xrm.Page.getAttribute("fieldname").getValue() == null) {
        saveEvt.preventDefault();

Dont forget to click “Pass execution context as first parameter” on Form Properties.

preventDefault : Cancels the save operation, but all remaining handlers for the event will still be executed.

• For Online CRM, maximum Batch Size is 1000. So, for Online CRM, maximum 1000 requests can be executed at a time.
• For On Premise, Batch Size can be increased.

// Create an ExecuteMultipleRequest object.
    requestWithResults = new ExecuteMultipleRequest()
    {
        // Assign settings that define execution behavior: continue on error, return responses. 
        Settings = new ExecuteMultipleSettings()
        {
            ContinueOnError = false,
            ReturnResponses = true
        },
        // Create an empty organization request collection.
        Requests = new OrganizationRequestCollection()
    };

    // Create several (local, in memory) entities in a collection. 
    EntityCollection input = GetCollectionOfEntitiesToCreate();

    // Add a CreateRequest for each entity to the request collection.
    foreach (var entity in input.Entities)
    {
        CreateRequest createRequest = new CreateRequest { Target = entity };
        requestWithResults.Requests.Add(createRequest);
    }

    // Execute all the requests in the request collection using a single web method call.
    ExecuteMultipleResponse responseWithResults =
        (ExecuteMultipleResponse)_serviceProxy.Execute(requestWithResults);

    // Display the results returned in the responses.
    foreach (var responseItem in responseWithResults.Responses)
    {
        // A valid response.
        if (responseItem.Response != null)
            DisplayResponse(requestWithResults.Requests[responseItem.RequestIndex], responseItem.Response);

        // An error has occurred.
        else if (responseItem.Fault != null)
            DisplayFault(requestWithResults.Requests[responseItem.RequestIndex], 
                responseItem.RequestIndex, responseItem.Fault);
    }

Here is another example of changing the State and Status of records by ExecuteMultipleRequest.

for (int i = 0; i < records.Entities.Count; i++)
{
    SetStateRequest setStateReq = new SetStateRequest();
    setStateReq.EntityMoniker = new EntityReference();
    setStateReq.EntityMoniker.Id = records.Entities[i].Id;
    setStateReq.EntityMoniker.LogicalName = records.Entities[i].LogicalName;
    setStateReq.State = new OptionSetValue(0);
    setStateReq.Status = new OptionSetValue(1);
    req.Requests.Add(setStateReq);
}
 
var res = service.Execute(req) as ExecuteMultipleResponse;

Xrm.Page.data.save(saveOptions).then(successCallback, errorCallback)

Saves the record asynchronously with the option to set callback functions to be executed after the save operation is completed.

With Microsoft Dynamics CRM Online 2015 Update 1 or later you can also set an object to control how appointment, recurring appointment, or service activity records are processed.

Open different or same entity form after save :

Xrm.Page.data.save().then(
    function() {
       console.log("success");
       Xrm.Utility.openEntityForm(entityname,recordId);
    },
    function(errorCode,message) {
       console.log(message);
    }
);

Reload form after save

Xrm.Page.data.save().then(
    function() {
      //save worked...
      Xrm.Page.data.refresh();
    },
    function() {
      console.log("save failed");
    }
);

window.location.reload(true); or location.reload(); or window.location = document.url;

These scripts cannot work for CRM 2013 and higher version. So you have to use callback functions after saving.

Normally there is no CRM Developer Toolkit installation file for Visual Studio 2013. But you can install it with some customization.

• Firstly Download the installation files.
• Open Visual Studio folder and Run Microsoft.CrmDeveloperTools.vsix file
• 
• Run the crmSDKFix.reg file
• Copy contents of the CRM MSBuild folder to “C:\Program Files\MSBuild\Microsoft\CRM” or “C:\Program Files (x86)\MSBuild\Microsoft\CRM”
• If there is no CRM folder in MSBuild folder, you can create this CRM folder.
• Now open Visual Studio and you can create CRM Toolkit Project.
