add the ConsiderOutlookSchedules feature to the schedule board
The problem we are facing right now is that while there is an API to consider the availability of the Outlook calendar, this functionality is not implemented in the existing Schedule Board. The "Consider Outlook Schedules" flag is only available through the public Search Resource Availability ...
Reflect the "first day of the week" setting also in Schedule Board
Under Advanced Settings | Administration | System Settings | Select Formats | Customize | Date we're able to set the first day of the week. However this setting is not reflected in calendar pop up on top of the schedule board.
Ability to apply JavaScript to Requirement Panels views on the Schedule Board
It would be great if we could apply JavaScript to the views applied to the requirements panel. Normal Dynamics views are able to be colour coded etc by using JavaScript. It would be nice if views enabled on the Schedule Board applied the same JavaScript.
Hi Thomas, Thank you for your feedback!
It is a good idea, not something in our roadmap; however, we will track it and triage it. More votes would definitely help us push this idea through.
Thanks,

Field Service - Time Off Request removal
When a Time Off Request is created, it makes Working Hours become Non-Working Hours. There appears to be no easy way to restore the Time Off Request's hours from Non-Working to Working in case of a change of plans. For example, consider the case of a Personal Time Off (PTO) day, or a Doctor's ...
Boris, thank you for your feedback, it is a great idea! The current design of Time Off request has this limitation due to the way how time off requests are stored via Calendar rules. We will consider this request for the calendar improvement effort, more votes would definitely help prioritizing this ask. You definitely already know this, but for others on this thread, as a workaround, you could leverage a custom entity to track the Time-Off as a booking to block time and could be also easily cancelled.
Thanks,

[Field Service] Ability to set change default view of Schedule Board
When you open Schedule Board of Field Service, you will see two types of default view depends on how to reach Schedule Board.
There is no feature to set default view.
1. Open [Work Order] -> Click [BOOK]
Horizontal View
Schedule Assistant View <-default
Ver...
Thank you for your feedback.
The Schedule Board (Field Service -> Schedule Board) and Schedule Assistant (Work Order -> Book) behave differently based on the scenario you are trying to accomplish. The view on the Schedule Board is remembered and is presented with the same view when accessed the next time. however, when using Schedule Assistant, the duration/Search Start/Search End fields on the Requirement/Work Order determines the View (Hours/Days/Weeks/Months).
I hope that answers your question.
Sincerely,

Adjust default booking method
By default the booking method is set to "Front load hours" but it should be possible to define what the default booking method is via a parameter. Reason is that some of our customers will always use the booking method "Remaining capacity". In this case they will always need to adjust this ma...
