Introduction
The Dynaway Maintenance Requests Power App allows you to create and get an overview of maintenance requests in your company from your mobile device.
- Prerequisites
Setup is completed.
Dynaway Maintenance Requests gives you the possibility to change your Business Central company from within the app and select your preferred language. What's more, you can change scanning mode of the barcode reader in the app.
- On the Home screen or any screen that has a footer, select the cogwheel icon.
- On the Settings screen you can choose the scanning mode, your company, and language. If you select Scan automatically, the barcode reader will automatically scan the first code it will be pointed at. In a situation where you have multiple codes close one to another, you can uncheck this option to be able to select by yourself which one should be scanned, and not have to worry that the wrong code was scanned. A company always has to be selected. By default, the default company set up in the Dataverse is selected. You can also select one of the supported languages as your preferred one.
