New 365 Environment: How to enable Word Templates on Work Order?

(1) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 35

I just created a new environment, but Word Template is not available when I open a Work Order record. It is available when I open other tables, such as Case.

How do I enable Word Templates on Work Orders?

    Hi AlexEisenhart,

    This is because there is an enable rule(FieldService.Form.msdyn_workorder.EnableRule.ShowSimplifiedCommands) of work order entity to hide it. If you want to enable it, you could delete the enable rule or set invert result to true.

    Note: Please backup your solution before you modify it.

    Please follow the steps:

    1.Add Work Order entity to solution and load it with Ribbon Workbench.

    2.Find the word template button and customize the command.

    3. Delete the FieldService.Form.msdyn_workorder.EnableRule.ShowSimplifiedCommands rule or  modify it  like this:

    4. If the Mscrm.WordTemplatesFCBEnabled is empty, add a step in it.

    Hello AlexEisenhart ,

    Thanks to   for providing the above steps.

    There is also another simple way is to enable "Show Simplified Work Order Commands" from Field Service settings.

    Please find below a screenshot:

    Hope the above will help.

    Thank you!

    Thank you   and EBMRay! I tried using Ribbon Workbench, but I didn't see any rules on Work Order or the Word Template button in my environment. Clearly the FieldService.Form.msdyn_workorder.EnableRule.ShowSimplifiedCommands rule was somewhere that I couldn't find though, because disabling the Show Simplified Work Order Commands resolved the issue.

    Thank you again! While I have you here, would you mind if I asked you about another Word Template issue that I've run into? Any idea why Case Resolutions wouldn't be populating for templates on Case? community.dynamics.com/.../when-creating-word-template-for-case-case-resolution-is-missing-from-1-n-relationship-list
