Box 1: Schedule board

The Dynamics 365 Field Service schedule board provides an overview of resource availability and bookings you can make.

Box 2: Azure IoT Central connector

Information about each machine produced must be transferred to Dynamics 365 Field Service.

The difference between IoT hub and IoT central is that IoT is an application platform that simplifies the creation of Internet of Things solutions. IoT central helps to reduce the challenges of implementing IoT development, operations, and management. IoT Central is a fully managed Software as a Service solution.

Note: There are three ways you can use to connect IoT-enabled devices into the Field Service solution:

Connected Field Service for Azure IoT Central

Connected Field Service for Azure IoT Hub

Connected Field Service for non-Azure IoT providers using the extensible IoT provider framework

Box 1: Schedule board

Note: The Dynamics 365 Field Service schedule board provides an overview of resource availability and bookings you can make.

When you’re looking at the schedule board for the current day, you’ll see a blue line that indicates the current time of day. You can also see a picture of all the resources listed on the schedule board. To quickly view contact information for a resource, hover over their name to view the contact card.

Box 2: Azure IoT Central connector

Azure IoT Central makes it easy to connect, monitor, and manage your IoT devices at scale. With the IoT Central V3 connector, you can trigger workflows when a rule has fired, and take actions by executing commands, updating properties, getting telemetry from devices, and more. Use this connector with your Azure IoT Central V3 application.

This connector is available in the following products and regions:

Box 1: Create a lookup to Dynamics 365 Field Service

Scenario: Machines are assigned serial numbers and placed in stock until they are shipped to customers.

Entity lookup: Allows technicians to choose a Dynamics 365 record. In the inspection designer interface, admins must select an entity and a field to display. For a chosen entity, the Name field and mandatory fields are the entity attributes that can be displayed in the lookup.

Box 2: Create a one-to-many relationship and set the behavior to Parental

Scenario: Inspection orders must:

Allow entry of quality ratings of passed or failed for each quality metric identified for the machine being rated.

Be automatically marked as failed if one inspection step rating is marked as failed.

Each inspection order can have one or many inspection steps, and each inspection step has a rating.

Note: Each pair of tables that are eligible to have a 1:N relationship can have multiple 1:N relationships between them. Yet usually only one of those relationships can be considered a parental table relationship.

Box 1: Create and embed a Power Bi radial gauge

A radial gauge chart has a circular arc and shows a single value that measures progress toward a goal or a Key Performance Indicator (KPI). The line (or needle) represents the goal or target value. The shading represents the progress toward that goal. The value inside the arc represents the progress value. Power BI spreads all possible values evenly along the arc, from the minimum (left-most value) to the maximum (right-most value).

In this example, you're a car retailer tracking the sales team's average sales per month. The needle represents a 140 cars sales goal. The minimum possible average sales is 0 and the maximum is 200. The blue shading shows that the team is averaging approximately 120 sales this month.

Box 2: Add an inspection order to the work order form

You can add inspections to work orders in Dynamics 365 Field Service.

Field Service inspections are digital forms that technicians use to quickly and easily answer a list of questions as part of a work order. The list of questions can include safety protocols, pass-and-fail tests for a customer asset, an interview with a customer, or other audits and assessments performed before, during, or after a work order.

Example:
