Field Service Copilot – Outlook experience (preview)
I’m sure many of you have already heard about the preview of Field Service copilot that was announced by Microsoft a few days ago. We had to wait until August 11th (at least for the environments in the NA regions) to get access to this. If you are not familiar with Field Service Copilot and haven’t heard or seen any of the announcements, let me explain what this is. FieldRead More

In my first article, I mentioned that I had the opportunity to review them, and as a result, I’ll be writing a series of articles discussing the new features and updates included in this release.

Another feature for Dynamics 365 Field Service that is part of 2023 release wave 1 is the ability to use trades to group services together. There are a lot of benefits to using trades in D365 Field Service, but before I get into that, let me first explain what trades represents in Dynamics 365 Field Service.

D365 Field Service: Not-to-exceed values
This month there are a bunch of features that are part of 2023 Release Wave 1 that will roll out. One of them is the not-to-exceed functionality in Dynamics 365 Field Service. This is functionality we have been waiting for and I am excited that it’s finally rolling out!

D365 Field Service: Add child assets to an RMA
A few weeks ago I was talking to someone about Dynamics 365 Field Service and they asked me about a couple of requirements which were not standard functionality in Dynamics 365 Field Service. He wanted to know if it was possible to build logic around assets that are brought to a warehouse for repair. The scenario was that when a part is picked up from a customer to send toRead More
Dynamics 365: 2022 Release notes for wave 2 are here!
Earlier today Microsoft published the release notes for the 2022 Release wave 2! I always tell people to keep in mind that this is a living document, meaning that these updates are not set in stone. Microsoft is continuously updating the release notes by changing, adding and even removing functionality from the plan. This is also one of the reasons I will not post any preview or GA dates here.Read More

This feature is also part of 2022 Release Wave 1 and has been generally available since April 1st of this year. It’s interesting to note that this feature is showingRead More
Interact with Dynamics 365 records in Teams Chat(Preview)
I feel like I’ve been repeating myself, since this is yet another article where I talk about additional functionality in the Microsoft Teams and Dynamics 365 integration. As a recap, previously I wrote two articles on the embedded Teams chat in Dynamics 365 which allows users to access Microsoft Teams chat from the Dynamics 365 application (if you haven’t read the articles yet you can do so here and here),Read More
Access Dynamics 365 data in Teams meetings (Preview)
Microsoft is investing more and more in the integration between Microsoft Teams and Dynamics 365 which I believe sets Dynamics 365 even further apart from the competition. I’m sure you are familiar with some of the features we have access to today, like the ability to view Dynamics 365 data from within Microsoft Teams or the ability to access a Teams chat from within Dynamics 365, but there are aRead More
Power Automate: Copy and paste image field in D365
In this article I am going to discuss how you can copy the data inside an image field from one record to the image field of another record. This could come in handy in different ways but what I am trying to accomplish here is to show related ‘hobby’ data on a contact record in Dynamics 365. In the example I am using for this article, I want to showRead More
