Dynamics 365 Field Service: Personal View and Security on Schedule Board

By | September 24, 2018

Introduction:

Schedule Board provides an overview of the resource availability and bookings. It is a feature within Dynamics 365 Field Service module.

Schedule Board by default provides all schedulers with an “Initial Public View” that includes all resource types, territories and unscheduled work orders.

Users have the ability to create their own tabs by bringing the data from the CRM views and also use them according to the needs. These tabs can be made public to all users or keep private for the user that created them.

When you create views within the Schedule Board, you can determine who can see your view.

In order to see how you can determine the view, follow the below steps, Navigate to Field Service -> Schedule Board.

      Hi,

      Once you create a tab and select a view on that tab in schedule board with the “Shared With” field set as “Specific Users” then that tab only be available to the user who created it and system administrator user.
      Then the user who created the tab needs to open the Advanced Find and select the entity as “Schedule Board Settings” and click Results.
      Double tap the schedule board setting record belonging to that tab created and click “Share” button. There you can select the users who would have the permission to view the tab. Unless and until this last step is not followed the other users won’t be able to see the tab other than the system administrator and the user who created the tab.
      Hope this helps.

      Thanks!
