Dynamics 365 Guides

A&R solution is configured for Hierarchy.

All the contacts ( Hierarchy has 3 stages )I just scrolled 3 steps (Parent child, grand parent)

In the Account form we have added a rollup field Number of contacts which calculates all contacts in the account A and R solutions.

I added one contacts now it is 22

All these 22 contacts need to be displayed in contact entity view ( Any thing personal or System)

But the desired result is not matching with the number of contacts its mismatching.

However, I have referred a document and found that

I am bit Unsure about that, but based on my understanding condition cannot be connected by OR in the filter of a view, because they are all in the related entity. Only the fields in the same entity can be connected by OR.

We need to modify the fetch xml in order to get all contacts, we wish we need a OOB feature to add in the views

In order to simplify the creation of complex guides, it makes sense to introduce the function of managing and creating holograms and their position via the PC Guides application.

A 3D object or an image of the object could be used to place the holograms. 

When copying steps, the information of the holograms is also copied. These would then only have to be managed.

Scenario: I am using Guides to instruct on assembling a physical collection of parts.

I have given a supplementary list of numbered parts: "Overview of parts." which has pictures of all of the parts in the scene.

I would like to bring this "Overview of parts" list with me as an interactable hologram throughout the Guide, so that I can manually position the list near my workspace, and refer to it throughout the Guide steps.

• This idea is similar to, "Anchor a Hologram across multiple steps, except that I want to place a 3D part in 1 Step, and then set it as interactable + persist throughout the remaining steps at its user-specified location.

What is the best way to open persistent content throughout a Guide, without opening it in a separate Slate window application?

I want to display the Parts Overview page across all of the guide steps, but only utilize the interface built-in to Guides, and wondering if a persistent hologram could be a potential solution.

-Add Task option to display set up before Anchor | QR Code scan.

With Guides that are ADHOC and can be set up anywhere with an available table surface.

It would be helpful to create a task to show Set up and QR code position before scanning.

Thanks,

Could we add a few more features?

Desktop Dynamic 365 Guide Software Task Tab Improvement

• Ability to color code tabs
• Ability to see a thumbnail image of the media panel when viewing overall task flow.
• Ability to duplicate task and steps.

HoloLens Guide Author usability.

• Ability to lock assets during author mode so that assets can be set close together without accidentally moving the previous set asset.
• Ability to see an angle marker or a ghost image of previous position to get better accuracy in placing objects.
• Ability to gain a keyboard to make notes or adjust task within HoloLens.
• Ability to delete hologram asset within HoloLens Guide.
• Ability to speed hover over button click speed time.

Thank You,

My tenant has two environments (Development and Production).

The production environment contains 1:1 copies of Guides from the Development environment.

When I use the Dynamics 365 Guides (for Windows) app to "Copy link to this guide" (E.G. ms-guides://productionEnvironmentURL/g/xxxxxxxxxx) I try to scan the URL with the headset, but the headset enters the guide within the Development environment, despite the fact that the Production URL is embedded inside of the ms-guides:// link.

The Guides headset user has full permissions to switch over to the Production environment, but the HoloLens 2 Guides app does not heed the productionEnvironmentURL inside of the link to the Guide and simply enters the 1:1 copy of the guide inside of the Development environment.

I wonder why the environment URL is encoded inside of the link, if it does not tell the Guides app to switch environments?

Thank you for taking a look!!

For Guides containing 3D animated steps, there is no way to repeat the current step animation after it has finished looping.

The user could say "Go back" and then "Next Step" to repeat the animation, but this method causes unnecessary loading of assets.

A "Replay step" button or corresponding voice command could be useful in allowing the user to restart the animation loop!

The Step card can contain images/videos but they are fixed in size and locked to the left of the step card.

Similar to Remote Assist, it would be nice to grab the image to resize it in case there are details which may be too small to read.

Hello Microsoft Dynamics 365 Dev Team,

It would be great to have an option to manually re-adjust the 3D model position once its placed using QR Code anchor.

This feature is quite useful when :

1. 3D models are not positioned accurately using QR Code scanning (as placement varies based on users view angle of the QR code).
2. QR codes are placed in at an angle or cured surface.
3. When model must be placed with high accuracy (less than 5mm tolerance levels) - Users can manually adjust the position by a few millimeters after object is placed using QR code san.

Let me know if I must share any other information regarding this request.

Thank you.

I would like to suggest this MIT article about automatic assembly and disassembly of manufactured parts and suggest you could integrate with Microsoft Guides.

Assemble Them All - Physics-Based Planning for Generalizable Assembly by Disassembly

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2Xw01yyg5So

The most common use case would be to embed this functionality into Microsoft Guides Desktop App to really revolutionize HoloLens step-by-step learning process by shifting from a mostly 2d card based aproach to a easy to use and implement 3D Virtual Learning Assistant. 

The process of Assembly by Disassembly allows the creation of assembly steps of, for example a 60 parts motor, in just five minutes of processing. 

Even the Microsoft Guides tools in hologram library, used to manually integrate arrows and other visual aids for movement instructions, could be created automaticaly and accordingly on the fly due to the movement generation of the assembly/disassembly tool that MIT developed.

You could even, in desktop app, after the assemble/disassembly movement generation, pin the needed movements for the learner and remove all other movements and related parts/objects that aren't needed. This will increase 3d model performance in HoloLens and would be in sync with Optimization best practices of 3D models for Microsoft Dynamics 365 Guides.
