With usability enhancements in the Field Service (Dynamics 365) mobile app, your frontline workers will get access to mobile-friendly experiences that will bring important information to the forefront, making it easier to edit information on mobile and tablet touch screens and reduce the number of taps needed to perform various common tasks. These enhancements help reduce the time frontline workers need to spend in the app, and lets them focus on the task at hand, whether it's fixing an asset or addressing customer concerns.

Feature details

The following usability enhancements will be available as part of this feature:

  • Ability to add up to three custom fields on the mobile booking calendar control. Users will be able to see at a glance the information they need to prepare for upcoming service visits.
  • Multiline text boxes will now expand to fit the amount of text entered.
  • Date and time input will leverage default input controls provided by the device operating system. Use the same input patterns that you are familiar with in other apps on your mobile device.
