Supported Developer Scenarios

The initial release of Connected Field Service supports the following two primary development scenarios:

Future releases will provide additional support for predicative and prescriptive maintenance capabilities.

  • Provide an IoT Platform that ISVs and partners can build on to IOT-enable their Dynamics 365 custom entities and managed solutions.

To enable the first scenario, the following capabilities are supported:

  • Enable any CRM entity to be IOT-enabled, enabling straightforward IoT integration within existing business processes by using Connection entities.

  • Receive service alerts and automating their response with a customized workflow

  • Send remote commands to IoT devices, for example after diagnosing a problem to correct a malfunctioning device

  • Analyze incoming device data, and displaying aggregate, trend and other metrics in custom dashboards
