subcontractor management

Subcontractor management on WindowsForum.com currently centers on Microsoft's planned Subcontractor Agent for Dynamics 365 Field Service, which would let approved external workers report on assigned jobs by email without needing a separate Dynamics 365 user license. According to the roadmap entry discussed, an internal dispatcher or service coordinator still applies changes to operational records, so oversight stays with the organization. The feature is described as targeting an October 2026 preview and February 2027 general availability, and it remains in development. For teams coordinating many subcontractors, the stated benefit is reduced application-access administration for workers who only need to send progress or completion information.
