FS mobile (dynamics 365) - bar code scanning

Posted on by 15

Hello

I am looking for the ability to use bar code scanning with Field Service Mobile (Dynamics 365). is it doable? how?

I have been demoing the mobile app with Resco’s Woodford solution up to now but knowing that MS will stop supporting with this app in a near future, how do we migrate the scanning feature to the new mobile app.

thank you for your guidance

Y.

    We're currently configuring the Dynamics 365 Field Service Mobile App (Power App) for a customer. It seems as though the barcode scanning function is only available on Entities enabled in the Global Search.

    In other words, if I enable the Product entity, I can scan a product barcode and my mobile resource can then see if the barcode matches the master product.

    HOWEVER, the scanning I don't think is available when you want to use it to add a Work Order Product. This is relatively problematic in our scenario.

    To add, we've also enabled the Work Order Product entity as a global search entity, but this doesn't enable the scanning feature on the Work Order when you want to scan a product to add on a Work Order.

    Indeed... I'll play with it and see how it could be used by a technician that does not have time to look for tiny icon ;)

    thank you

    Have you looked at docs.microsoft.com/.../mobile-power-app-configure ? Use the binocular icon from the top toolbar and select Categorized Search, this should give you a barcode button.
