Pictures for Resources other than Users
Currently today only Users have images next to their names on the schedule board. It would be nice to be able to assign photos to other resource types and have them displayed on the Schedule Board.
Schedule board default focus setting
When working with the hourly view in the schedule board, opening the schedule board will always set the focus of the calendar to the start of configured work day of resources. However, when using many smaller resource requirements, as the day progresses, this will result in having to scroll th...
Thank you for your feedback. That is a great idea!
Seems like you are trying to quickly reach to the current time on the board, and take action on the board. There are few settings on the current board that could help you do this.
- You could configure your scheduler settings to only show the working hours, for example 6 AM to 6 PM, so that you don't have to scroll through all non-working hours.
- There is also a blue vertical line which shows the current time of the day

The ability to change default booking method on schedule board
At the moment, we are unable to change the default "booking method" using schedule board, which is set to "Full Capacity". If we could change this default, it might save time when creating many booking at once.

Currently this is not in our roadmap; however, we are tracking it and if we get more feedback and votes, we may consider it in the future.

Currently, it is possible to show travel in the beginning of a booking however it should also be possible to indicate travel back to office. In cases, where travel can take 6-24 hours it is important for coordinators to see also the time it will take for the resource to arrive back in the offi...

[Field Service] Ability to create Bookable Resources with the same name
Please consider removing the limitation for Bookable Resource which prohibits us creating resources with same names. By default, "Name" of Bookable resources cannot be be duplicated. There's a OOB plugin (Microsoft.Dynamics.FieldService.FieldServicePlugin) to prevent this. But, there're likely...

Provide more styling flexibility for booking cells, resource cells and resource cards
Today a user is able to modify the HTML that generates the resource cell and the booking cell. It is however not possible to use styles, making it very hard to impossible for example to visualize option sets or Boolean attributes. Suggestion: Provide the ability to use

Many customers face the situation that their customer call and ask about a scheduled service visit (i.e. a booking). Currently they need to open a separate browser tab, navigate to bookings and try to find the booking based on a combination of different fields. Suggestion: Provide an integrate...

Provide time-only field or control to capture time windows in URS
As of today, time window start and end are capture and displayed as date/time fields, which is often confusing for the user. Suggestion: Similar to date-only fields, also provide time-only fields. Workaround could be the ability to only show the time portion of a date/time field in standard vi...
