The Salesforce FSL Highlights
Upload Multiple Images to Get the Full Picture
AdVic Overview: Easy to add multiple pictures from the phone.
Salesforce Description: Use your image upload flow to capture and select several images at once. Swipe to move between images or see all of them together in the gallery view. In each image’s detail view, you can add a description or delete the image.
Note: This change applies to Field Service Lightning for Android and iOS in Enterprise, Performance, Unlimited, and Developer editions.
Create and Manage Service Crews with Crew Management*
AdVic Overview: A better view for Service Crews.
Salesforce Description: Quickly create and manage service crews using the crew management tool, which was previously in beta. Use the new service crew wizard to create a crew, and find the right crew members for the job with smarter search results. Search now considers resources’ operating hours and availability in addition to their skills.
Select a Scheduling Policy When Booking Appointments*
AdVic Overview: Improve appointments.
Salesforce Description: Enjoy greater scheduling flexibility by choosing a scheduling policy directly from the Book Appointment and Candidates Chatter actions.
See Further into the Future on the Gantt*
AdVic Overview: Better insight and scheduling.
Salesforce Description: View up to six months of your team’s schedule on the Gantt with the new long-term view. Choose how many months to display, highlight weekends to aid scanning, and apply a multi-day appointment filter. Keep things tidy by showing only appointments and absences over a certain length. We’re also introducing a two-week view for mid-range planning.
*Applies to Lightning Experience and Salesforce Classic in Enterprise, Performance, Unlimited, and Developer editions with the Field Service Lightning managed package installed.
