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: Security role

Microsoft Dataverse uses a role-based security model to help secure access to the database.

Scenario:

You must prevent users from changing inspection order data once an inspection is marked as final.

Supervisors must be able to modify standard checklists. Other employees must be prevented from modifying checklists.

Box 2: Data flow

Dataflows are a self-service, cloud-based, data preparation technology. Dataflows enable customers to ingest, transform, and load data into Microsoft Dataverse environments, Power BI workspaces, or your organization's Azure Data Lake Storage account.

Scenario: Provide a visual representation of the testing measurement limits for each step. Include an indication of how the measured value compares to measurement limits and whether the measurement is within tolerance. Users must be able to configure the visualizations to display the minimum value and maximum value, and whether the reading is within the tolerance of a single targeted value. It must also be able to be used for maintenance inspections once the machine has been installed.

Scenario: Ensure that employees can sign in to all Microsoft apps by using one set of credentials per employee.

Synchronized identity. Synchronize on-premises directory objects with Microsoft 365 and manage your users on-premises. You can also synchronize passwords so that the users have the same password on-premises and in the cloud, but they will have to sign in again to use Microsoft 365.
