Work Order Power App Improvements

Work Orders Power App got a few new functionalities:

  • support to 2 additional Form Question TypesPicture and Documents
  • possibility to view Maintenance Request connected to the Work Order
  • possibility to upload Documents related to Work Order

From now on, Work Orders Power App supports 2 additional Question Types in Forms, which means that checklists with Picture and Document questions will show up on the Work Order card.

Questions, that require adding a picture allow you to Take picture by opening the camera of your device or by using Add photo from the device's gallery. Add file action in the Document type questions works similarly as Add photo. It is possible to add pictures and files in offline mode and then synchronize them with Business Central.

On the Work Order screen you can now see related Maintenance Request. You will find there such information as number, description, type, status, to whom it's assigned to, who requested it and comments. In the comments section, you can add new comments, this is possible only when you're online, but you can check details of the Maintenance Request even in offline mode.

Now you can also add Documents to the Work Orders. This functionality is available in the online mode and when you use SharePoint as your Default Storage Provider, otherwise you wouldn't see the Documents action on Work Order screen. On the Documents screen you can Take photo or Add file (or picture) from your device. Both actions works similarly as on the Forms mentioned above, with one difference to the Add file. If in the SharePoint location already exists a file with the same file name as the one you try to upload, then you can link the file from SharePoint to the current Work Order or upload your file with a different name.
