Schedule Board - Optimize Day View

Scenario: we are planing service jobs in a heavy industry solution for multiple days! As soon as we choose the day view. This view shows on each resource / day cell an aggregation of the numbers of booked hours. We don't need to see the hours, we need to see the Service Job name! Like it is in...

Update 2/4/2021. 

On the new Schedule Board, you would be able to see the Booked hours aggregation and the Name of the job on the Bookings itself. However, the ability to show a custom field on the Bookings in the Days view, is still something on our roadmap, not yet available in the schedule board. 

Thanks,

Vinay

Update 04/07/2020.

Same dispaly of schedule board booking tooltips view for hourly, daily, monthly view

Booking Tooltips view is differently displayed (hover by mouse over reservation) within the schedule board hourly view setting vs daily and weekly views setting. The Idea is to allow to set up the same booking tooltips for hourly, daily, weekly scheduling calendar view.

The booking tooltip in the new schedule board has been updated to be the same display for all calendar views hourly, daily, weekly, and monthly.  Additionally, when you customize the booking tooltip it will change across all calendar views. 

Thanks for the feedback!

Booking Template Extensibility available for Multi-Day views, not just hourly board

Currently you can only extend the booking templates for the Hourly Schedule Board. Any updates to Booking Templates that you want to see on DAY, WEEK, MONTH will not show as it's not available. Recommendation is to make that extensible throughout the product. EXAMPLE: I have the following Book...

Hi Scott,

We have updated the new schedule board booking tooltip to be the same across all views.  If you customize the booking tooltip, the customization will be applied to all calendar views. 

Thanks

Update 03/31/20

We released "Auto Update Booking Travel" feature in April 2019, to support the Calculation of travel time when booking is created by Drag and Drop on the Schedule Board. Please find more details here, https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/dynamics365/common-scheduler/schedule-travel-time#add-travel-time-with-manual-scheduling

We intend on shipping this short term. There are many details to work out such as, what happens when travel is 30 hours, or impossible, such as traveling across the globe. But we intend on handling the primary use cases short term.

We look forward to you trying this out and sending feedback.

Thanks again,

Allow resources to travel before work hours start or after they end

Especially in urban areas, there is often the requirement to start the first job with the beginning of the work hours. The resource is responsible for traveling there outside working hours. The same at the end of the day. We could define this at resource level, so that the first job of the day...

Organize Schedule Board tabs

When users/administrators handle a significant number of schedule boards (this gets even worse when using RSO, because that adds boards per RSO scope) they are faced with a long row of tabs and need to scroll left and right to find the respective board. Suggestion: Introduce a 2-level hierachy...
