How to schedule single resource optimization when considering new requirements on Dynamics 365 Field Service

uk365guy

Hello Everyone,

Today I am going to show how to optimize single resource when a resource completes a work order earlier than expected timelines.

Let’s get’s started.

Dispatchers schedule work orders but sometimes disruptions happens due to delay in resource being ontime at the site or may finishes the work order below the set time, so in that situations dispatches becomes unbalanced and causes disruptions to schedules.

How do we do that?

With the introducion of the Single Resource Optimization on Dynamics 365 Field Service Schedulers can reschedule the resources to optimization.

Distruptions or exceptions during the day that affects a resource’s schedule are fairly common:

1. A technician finishes a booking earlier than estimated, and now has idle time before the next booking.

2. A technician is stuck in traffic and can’t make it to the next booking on time.

3. A customer cancels an appointment at the last minute, and now there’s a gap in the resource’s schedule.

Dispatchers need an efficient way to fix such disruptions. This include re-optimizing bookings to make sure there’s no overlap, or to schedule new work to cover idle time, or to optimize travel time.

Note: Allow resource optimization to pull in additional requirements to fill gaps in the technician’s schedules, create a more optimized route or address high priority requirements.

Microsoft Dynamics 365 Field Service Break down long-duration or complex requirements

uk365guy

Hello Everyone,

Today I am going to share new feature which Microsoft releases for Dynamics 365 Field Service Resource Scheduling so making the work items into smaller chunks.

Let’s get’s started.

Microsoft Dynamics 365 Field Service Resource Scheduling when working with long-duration or complex requirements, it’s often necessary to specify the patterns(sometimes called the work contour) for how the work will break down into the bookings when the requirement in scheduled.

Improve the experience for breaking down requirements into requirement details.

Key Improvements are:

1. Modernize the existing specify pattern control, improving performance and stability and aligining it with the new schedule board.

2. Allow bulk operations for requirment details, including the ability to bulk edit at various timesales.

3. Enable split and move operations to easily make updates as schedules and capabilities change.

That’s it for today.

I hope this helps.

Let’s get’s started.

Login into Dynamics 365 Field Service.

Go to Settings > Collaborations.

Microsoft Teams Collaboration and chat:

2. Turn on Enhanced Microsoft Teams Integration
3. Turn on Confidential Labels.

Turn on Microsoft Teams chats inside Dynamics 365

1. Turn on for all Dynamics 365 Apps

You want to turn on for only specific selected Dynamics 365 apps

1. Turn on for selected Dynamics 365 apps

Then switch to the Settings and Field Service Settings.

Enable Copilot for work order, Copilot in Microsoft Outlook: This feature will suggest the users when using the work oders on Outlook or Microsoft Teams.

Add the Dynamics 365 Field Service for Outlook add -in to your outlook.

Details:

Field Service customers typically modify the work order form by adding, removing, rearranging form fields based on their needs.

Field Service Admins can now create or customize a view in the Power Apps Maker experience, and sync the view with the Field Service Outlook add-in and Teams app. The view then automatically renders the user interface in the outlook add -in and Teams app to construct the customized work order form.

Copilot follows the data schema of the view and helps populate the work order form according to the email context and customized work order table.

That’s it for today.

I hope this helps.

{Do you know} Strength of Connection types on Dynamics 365 Sales

uk365guy

Hello Everyone,

Today I am going to show strength of the connection types on lead record in Dynamics 365 Sales.

Let’s get’s started.

Normally when we nurture the leads with the interactions with the contacts within their business and there is predefined visibility how is the relationship with the leads.

With the introduction of the Who knows Whom and hierarchy of graph view, you can see how is the strength of the connection types.

Connection Types:

1. Strong
2. Fair
3. Weak.

With the visibility of the strengths of the connections types, the sales team focus on the weak and fair connections to strengthen the interaction with the contacts.

So there will be more chance of the requirement of the customer and convert the Lead to Opportunity.

That’s it for today.

I hope this helps.
