Business Value

Frontline workers face variable network conditions while working on remote job sites. They need a reliable offline-enabled application that can work seamlessly with or without network connectivity. By using the offline-enabled Field Service mobile application, data the technicians can access is limited by the mobile offline profile configured for their environment.

However, the unpredictable nature of frontline workers' day-to-day activities often requires broader data access than what is defined in their mobile offline profile. With this feature, frontline workers can access online data when the network is available, giving them full access to the data stored in Dataverse.

Feature Details

When frontline workers have network access with their mobile device, they can choose to switch the application to online mode, giving them access to Dataverse data in the cloud.

  • Users can switch between online and offline-first mode.
  • Devices automatically switch back to offline-first mode when the network connectivity is lost.
  • A sync icon indicates the application mode for users at a glance.

Enabled for:

Users by admins, makers, or analysts
This feature must be enabled or configured by administrators, makers, or business analysts to be available for their users.

Business Value

Makers can now select the columns of tables that are downloaded on mobile devices for offline use. The fewer columns you select, the faster the app downloads the data on the device for usage without connectivity.

Feature Details

While configuring your mobile offline profile, you can now selectively choose which columns are downloaded for each offline-enabled Dataverse table.

  • Updated mobile offline profile configuration interface shows how many columns are selected along with the ability to select individual columns for each table.
  • The system shows which columns are required by the application.
  • Users can select columns required for unique business scenarios or customizations.

Business Value

Empower your workforce to follow protocols, collect data efficiently, and use checklists to enhance first-time fix rates. The data collected can help boost operational visibility, enabling organizations to optimize processes and elevate customer satisfaction.

Feature Details

Service organizations often have numerous procedures, forms, and checklists stored in various formats like paper or PDF files. With Copilot in Field Service, makers can quickly digitize these documents and integrate them into Field Service work orders.

Copilot converts the uploaded documents into draft inspection templates that can be edited and published for technicians to fill in when completing work order tasks in the Field Services mobile app.

Inspection Builder converts a PDF or image into a Field Service Inspection template.

Business Value

With work order summaries generated by Copilot, service managers, dispatchers, and technicians can quickly get an overview and understanding of the key points of the work to be done. Organizations now have more control to include specific data in the summaries for their users, which can lead to more useful and actionable summaries.

Feature Details

Copilot in Dynamics 365 Field Service lets makers configure the Copilot summary of work orders and bookable resource bookings to meet the specific business needs of their organization.

  • Makers can choose which tables and columns Copilot uses to generate the summary in natural language.
  • After configuring the summary, you can generate a preview summary from an existing record with real data before saving the configuration.

Business Value

The reimagined technician experience enables frontline workers to use Copilot to help plan their work. Copilot in Field Service provides technicians with a quick summary of their work orders with key details, so they don't have to spend time finding that information across multiple forms and tabs. It reduces the number of interactions and time spent in the mobile app, which helps technicians be more productive.

Feature Details

Technicians get the ability to summarize their work orders with Copilot within the Field Service mobile application. The summary provides them with meaningful context of the work they are about to perform. It can include notes, diagnostic information, key events in the work order lifecycle, and recommendations.

AI-powered work order recaps help service managers quickly access a summary of the work order and its related data, boosting efficiency and improving customer satisfaction.

Feature Details

Work order recaps highlight important information about a work order such as notes, products, services, tasks, activities, and more to help users catch up without having to dig through all the information in a work order. At any point, a user can ask Copilot in Field Service to generate a recap and avoid clicking through the user interface to get caught up.

Business Value

With improved usability and performance, technicians and dispatchers can manage schedules more efficiently, leading to increased productivity and employee satisfaction.

Feature Details

We've encountered issues with the updated schedule board that we recently released. As a result, we are temporarily disabling the updated board to address these issues before reenabling. We are fully committed to delivering this update and will communicate our plans to roll it out once the issues have been resolved. In the meantime, the board will revert back to its prior functionality. If you have manually installed Universal Resource Scheduling solution version 3.12.144.84, we will remotely disable the update with no further action required on your end. If you are on any other prior version of the Universal Resource Scheduling solution, there will be no change to your schedule board.

  • Enhanced user experience: The improved schedule board architecture signifies a shift from extJS to React, which allows for a more responsive user interface, leading to a more intuitive and satisfying user experience for technicians and dispatchers.
  • Improved performance: An efficient diffing algorithm and a virtual Document Object Model (DOM) result in improved update and load times. The schedule board loads faster and reacts instantly to user interactions, even under heavy load.
  • Future-proof: The new architecture is up to date with the latest advancements in web technology, which improves maintenance and upgradability.
  • Usability and modernization improvements: The updated schedule board will bring highly requested customer asks such as a working-days-of-the-week selector, week numbers, ability to reorder tabs per user, day line visibility, and accessibility improvements.

Enabled for:

Users by admins, makers, or analysts
This feature must be enabled or configured by administrators, makers, or business analysts to be available for their users.
Note:
  • The update from extJS to React will break any unsupported customizations such as DOM manipulations.
