Microsoft Dynamics 365 Fundamentals Flashcards

Dynamics 365 Field Service is used by a corporation. The inspections function needs to be used by service technicians. You draft inspection logs that include the right queries and checklists. What should you do next?

This ensures technicians perform the appropriate checks for each service, streamlining the inspection process.

Dynamics 365 Field Service is implemented by a corporation. You must use data that already exist to generate a work order. Which two records from the table can be changed into a work order? Select all applicable answers.

Answer: Case

In Dynamics 365, both 'Case' and 'Opportunity' records can be converted into 'Work Orders'. A Case often represents a customer issue requiring field service, making it a logical precursor. An Opportunity, especially for service contracts or installations, can also directly lead to a work order for service delivery or setup.

Dynamics 365 Field Service is employed by a corporation. The business intends to conduct inspections as a part of the related work orders. Which two inspection capabilities are those? Select all applicable answers.

Answer: version management

Dynamics 365 Field Service inspections offer 'version management', allowing organizations to track and update inspection templates while ensuring technicians use the latest version. 'Offline support' is also a critical capability, enabling technicians to complete inspections in areas without internet connectivity, with data syncing once online.

Dynamics 365 Field Service is employed by a corporation. The business arranges maintenance for a client. Which two elements are necessary? Select all applicable answers.

Answer: Resources

To arrange maintenance in Dynamics 365 Field Service, 'Work Orders' are essential as they define the scope of work, tasks, and required resources.

Without both a defined work order and assigned resources, maintenance cannot be effectively planned or executed.

To support customer equipment, you employ Dynamics 365 Field Service. Which feature can you employ to offer preventative service?

Answer: Connected Field Service

'Connected Field Service' (CFS) integrates IoT capabilities with Dynamics 365 Field Service to enable preventative maintenance. By monitoring equipment health and detecting anomalies through IoT sensors, CFS can proactively generate alerts or work orders for service before failures occur. This shifts maintenance from a reactive to a predictive model.

Dynamics 365 Field Service is employed by a corporation. For a customer who requests a specific technician, you create a work order. Where should you record the request?

Answer: Resource Preference

In Dynamics 365 Field Service, a 'Resource Preference' is used to record a customer's request for a specific technician or a preference to avoid certain technicians. This preference can be linked to an account or a work order, influencing the scheduling assistant to prioritize or exclude particular bookable resources during dispatch.

Dynamics 365 Field Service is employed by a corporation. A new dispatcher needs to have the capabilities of a scheduling board explained to them. How should a scheduling board be described?

Answer: Export a dynamic worksheet to Excel.

To ensure an Excel workbook always reflects the current collection of open cases, you should export a 'dynamic worksheet to Excel'. A dynamic worksheet maintains a live connection to Dynamics 365, allowing users to refresh the data directly within Excel to display the most up-to-date information without needing to re-export.

Dynamics 365 apps are used by a business. The business must offer document collaboration for users without Dynamics 365 licenses. Which Microsoft application should Dynamics 365 be integrated with?

Answer: Microsoft Teams

Microsoft Teams is the ideal integration for document collaboration, especially for users without Dynamics 365 licenses. Teams facilitates real-time co-authoring of documents stored in SharePoint (which integrates with Dynamics 365) and supports guest access, enabling external users or those without D365 licenses to participate in collaborative document workflows.

The Dynamics 365 Sales app is used by a business. You must use a single column as an app user to find accounts. The column is not shown in the current accounts view. Which should you employ?

Answer: Edit Filters

If a required column for finding accounts is not visible in the current view, the 'Edit Filters' option allows you to add criteria based on any available column for that entity. This enables you to filter and search for accounts using specific data points, even if those columns are not displayed in the current view, providing precise search capabilities.
