About this tag
The schedule assistant tag on WindowsForum.com collects discussion of scheduling and dispatch tooling, most visibly Microsoft's Dynamics 365 Field Service. Tagged coverage follows roadmap items and interface changes that affect how dispatchers book work orders, including a requirement-selection step planned for work orders carrying more than one resource requirement. That change targets a real dispatch problem: a work order is a parent record, while the details determining who can perform a job, such as duration, service window, territory, skills, resource type, and preferences, live on related records. Expect roadmap tracking, release timing, and practical scheduling workflow notes here.
