Microsoft Dynamics 365 Field Service Resco MobileCRM project publish points to remember

Hi Everyone

Today i am going to share few points which needs to be considered when publishing the Resco MobileCRM Project.

Open the Project you want to publish.

Be you are publishing to the correct version
  > In the Field Service Mobile Application, click about
  > Publishing to a higher version will break the mobile app.
  > You can publish multiple projects as needed.

Please note: If you are not seeing your changes in the mobile application, verify that a security role you are a member of had the appropriate permissions.

When you are publishing the changes make sure you select the correct the version otherwise you will the solution, but it can corrected by selecting the right version like 9.10 or 9.20 etc depends up on the different no of projects you have on the Field Service.

One more point to remember is if you are system administrator and you make changes to the solution and try to see the changes on the MobileCRM but if you can’t that might be the security role issue.

Go back to the MobileCRM and assign the sys admin role to yourself then you should be able to see the changes.

If you don’t publish the correct Mobile Version you will run into issues like “Metadata Error”, it could be any issue  and ultimately not going to push appropriately.

Final important point is to select the correct Mobile Version before publishing as the Field Service version is different from Resco Mobile CRM.

Then you open the Mobile App and re sync the metadata and check the changes made.

I hope this helps.

Editing Resco MobileCRM Project in Microsoft Dynamics 365 Field Service

Hi Everyone,

Today i am going to share my finding on the Resco MobileCRM Project Configuration.

Editing Resco MobileCRM Project:

Select a project and click edit:
You can edit can configure many items including:
   The application home screen.
   Entities available in the mobile application.
   Forms, view, and dashboards displayed in the app.
   Application theme color.
   Password policies and initial configuration.

Note: The Microsoft Dynamics 365 Service and Field Service entities are by default enabled and OOTB sales entities are not enabled for the Resco MobileCRM based on the License agreement between Microsoft and Resco. Custom Entities can be enabled for Resco MobileCRM but we are limited to 10 custom entities.

The Field Service entities are by default enabled and we can edit the Fields, Forms, Views and Dashboards on the Mobile App.

If you need to add more fields on the Mobile App then drag the “Available Items” from the right hand side on the image and place at “Home” side and Save the changes, if you don’t save the changes then the changed customization is not reflected on the Mobile App.

When you drag down the bar on the right hand side you can see all the entities enabled for Resco Mobile App, for example the “Work Order” have the “Forms”,”Views”, “Charts”, “Fields” and “Indexes”.

Let’s see what is inside the Work Order entity and what are the permissions enabled for the Mobile App user.

As you can see from the above image the check marked fields are enabled for the Mobile App and permissions are granted to the Mobile App users.

for example: if you have a requirement to attach a barcode code scanner then you can go ahead and attach that.

When you click on the “Views”, can see the views for that “Work Order” Entity, you can modify by double clicking on the view you want to modify.

Double click the view make changes you need anything to be changed see below image:

If you want to change the color of the view then you can make changes by clicking on  the color and select the color to reflect.

Also with the “Work Order” entity Form, if you need to make changes to the fields then double click on the “Form” and  you can see the different type of sections like “General”  with all the fields available in that section.

when you click on the other sub section like “Service Type”  are of sub grids, you can move the fields you need those fields on the sub grid, also when you click on the Signature section and click on the “add media” button on the navigation button and pop up will come up, then you can select the signature, photo, etc.. see below image.

Click ok and save the changes.

Application theme color can be changed according to business requirements on the Mobile CRM  by clicking on the “Color Theme” on the Mobile Solution, you can make changes to the look of the Mobile CRM by modifying the colors.

Once the changes are made then click on the “done” button and save the changes.

Password policies and initial configuration can be customized.

Configuration Settings in Resco MobileCRM

Open Mobile Project > Configuration
> Picture files
> Auto Sync
> Online Mode
> Auditing

The configuration area is a place to look  passwords are remembered at how often they synchronizing, these are things helps to control on what type of environment people see when they start working in the application.
Finally save the changes and publish all and ready to see all the changes on the Resco MobileCRM.
I hope this helps.

How Resco Mobile App User have different Security roles on multiple projects in Field Service

Hi Everyone,

Today i am going to share quick tip on how to check the Microsoft Dynamics 365 Field Service Mobile App Users security role levels and how they are varied in terms of  Mobile App users access to various projects within the Organisation.

So let’s get’s started.

Let’s assume an Organisation have multiple projects of Field Service, so the users might be the resource in that project. There are different security roles to each resource.

In order to check the security role on  Resco MobileCRM  Woodford Solution:

Go to Dynamics 365 >  Settings > Woodford > MobileCRM Woodford >

Click on the “show users” button on the navigation pane. New pop up comes up with the list of users with their security roles.

See below image:

Microsoft Dynamics 365 Field Service Mobile App User security role  points to remember as follows:

1) we must assign the security roles we want the project to apply to the user.
2)All users with that role are added to the project.
3)Users added to the multiple projects will receive the project  with the higher priority.
4) See the users associated with a project using show users.

I hope this helps.
