Device Compatability in Field Service Wave One Release:
One of the requests that we always had from customers was the ability to use a field service app on a device like a Microsoft Surface. Well, with the latest update that will become possible with Microsoft Dynamics 365 field service mobile application being compatible with Windows 10 and Windows 11 and, in addition, so will offline support.
You can look at outlook style booking calendars as well as receive a tailored user experience with the new PowerApps component framework (PCFs). Also, you will be able to use the onboard device camera to take pictures and scan bar codes.
Customer Service Portal In Field Service Wave One Release:
An item that was delayed slightly from Wave 2 2021 was the ability to allow customers to schedule service visits using a customer service portal. Using the self-service portal customers can request, track, and get email updates from the portal with the progress of their request. For Field Service, this will be a game-changing moment and very welcome addition.
