Dispatchers benefit from seeing the exact location of a Resource on the Schedule Board Map. Some other users (say Field Service Engineers) need to access the schedule board but not be able to display map pins for the Resources for data privacy reasons. This needs to extend to the address and long/lat fields on User records which should not be accessible unless you have a specific requirement. We can do this through Column Level Security but this is complicated.
We extremally recommend Microsoft reconsider not removing the feature, our business process is relying 100% on the blue plus icon to guide the users through the required fields for completing the process. Making the fields mandatory will prevent the record to be saved, blocking the user to save incomplete records.
