You implemented Microsoft Dynamics 365 Field Service for an electronics company. The technician reports that they are unable to view the customer asset hierarchy and the functional location at the customer s location. • While setting up the Dynamics 365 Field Service mobile app, you assigned the Field Service Resource security role to a technician. • While working at the customer site, there were some internet connectivity issues and so the technician had to work offline. Why was the technician unable to view customer asset hierarchy and functional location?

Answer options

A: The security role assigned needs to be Field Service Admin

B: Internet connectivity is required.

C: The functional location still needs to be assigned to the work order.

D: The offline profile still needs to be published. Correct answer

Correct Answer:

D. The offline profile still needs to be published.

Explanation

The Field Service mobile app requires proper offline profile configuration and publishing for technicians to access data while working offline. When offline profiles are not published or properly configured, users cannot access critical data like customer asset hierarchies and functional locations in offline mode. The Field Service Resource security role has sufficient permissions to view these entities, so the issue is related to offline data synchronization rather than security permissions.

Why Incorrect

A. The Field Service Resource role has adequate permissions to view customer assets and functional locations; admin role is not required.
B. The mobile app is designed to work offline when properly configured; internet connectivity is not mandatory for viewing synchronized data.
C. Functional locations are associated with customer assets, not work orders, so this assignment is not relevant to the viewing issue. References
