8 weeks · About 7 hours per week

Week 1

Manage work orders and customer assets

  • Configure work order types, priorities, statuses and substatuses so each status maps to a step in the work order lifecycle you can name from memory.

  • Build incident types that bundle required service tasks, products and services, then attach them to work orders and verify the lines auto-populate.

  • Create the customer hierarchy: account, functional location, customer asset, and a child asset, and link each work order to the right asset record.

  • Trace a work order from creation through scheduled, in progress, completed and closed, recording which fields and settings change at each step.

Your checkpoint

A written end-to-end narrative of one work order in a trial environment that names every configured setting used, plus a table mapping each of your incident types to its service tasks, products and estimated duration.

Week 2

Manage work orders and customer assets & Configure field service applications

  • Configure customer assets with warranty dates, parent-child relationships and subcomponents, then test what changes on a work order when an asset is under warranty.

  • Set up agreements and entitlements that generate recurring work orders and that apply a discount or free service line under defined conditions.

  • Configure bookable resource types, resource roles and characteristics, and add at least three resources with skills, territory and hourly rate defined.

  • Create organizational units and territories that match a two-city service area, and assign resources to them.

Your checkpoint

A 12-question self-written quiz covering work order configuration and resource setup, answered without notes, with any wrong answer rewritten as a corrected note; score must reach 10 of 12 before moving on.

Week 3

Configure field service applications

  • Walk through Field Service settings and change at least ten options (geo-coding, booking, time zone, resource scheduling) while writing the effect each change has on scheduling behavior.

  • Configure security roles and field security so a technician can read and update assigned work orders but cannot create price lists or delete customer assets.

  • Set up crews, facilities and equipment as bookable resources and confirm each appears correctly as a schedulable candidate.

  • Configure the schedule board settings that belong to app configuration, including board views, resource filters and requirement filters.

Your checkpoint

A settings comparison sheet listing at least 15 Field Service configuration options with default value, your chosen value, and a one-sentence justification tied to a business scenario.

Week 4

Schedule and dispatch work orders

  • Configure schedule board tabs and views for two different dispatcher personas, one focused on territory and one on resource type.

  • Build requirement groups with multiple resource requirements and explain when a requirement group is required instead of a single requirement.

  • Perform move bookings, split bookings, crew bookings and substitute-resource bookings, and document the effect of each on the original work order.

  • Set up and run Resource Scheduling Optimization on a small set of requirements, then review the booking results against manual scheduling.

Your checkpoint

A dispatch scenario log: eight work orders needing different skills, durations and territories scheduled across one day with six resources, showing each booking decision, the constraint that drove it, and the final board outcome.

Week 5

Schedule and dispatch work orders & Manage the Field Service mobile app

  • Configure scheduling parameters such as fulfillment preference, promise windows and booking duration rules, then test which work orders get blocked by each.

  • Set up the Field Service mobile app project, including offline profile, entities stored offline, sync settings and conflict resolution behavior.

  • Configure mobile app features: barcode scanning, photo capture, geolocation and push notifications, then document which require extra tenant configuration.

  • Build an inspection attached to a work order, complete it in the mobile app, and verify the answers flow back into the work order record.

Your checkpoint

A mobile readiness checklist covering offline profile configuration, enabled device capabilities and inspection setup, with each item marked tested or blocked and the reason recorded.

Week 6

Manage inventory and purchasing by using the built-in inventory management system & Implement Microsoft Power Platform

  • Configure warehouses and product inventory, then record an inventory adjustment, a transfer between warehouses and consumption of a product on a work order.

  • Create a purchase order, receive the products, and process a return for unused product back into stock using the built-in inventory module.

  • Configure the default warehouse, inventory settings and unit groups that govern how product quantities appear on work order product lines.

  • Build a Power Automate flow that triggers on work order status change and posts a message to Teams, and a Power Apps canvas app screen for a technician checklist.

Your checkpoint

An inventory ledger you produce by hand for one product across three transactions (receive, transfer, consume) that matches the product inventory counts in the app, plus one working flow whose run history you screenshot.

Week 7

Implement Microsoft Power Platform & Manage the Field Service mobile app

  • Extend a model-driven Field Service app with a custom table, form changes and role-based access, then verify a technician sees only the new components intended for them.

  • Build a Power BI report that shows booked versus completed work orders by territory and technician, and explain which table and relationship supplies each measure.

  • Re-test two Domain 2 and Domain 4 weak spots identified by earlier quizzes, and rewrite the notes for any item you still miss.

  • Configure one business process flow or business rule that enforces a required field before a work order can move to completed.

Your checkpoint

One Power BI report with at least two visuals and a supporting note explaining the data source, relationship path and refresh approach, plus a scored re-quiz of the previously missed items.

Week 8

Manage work orders and customer assets & Configure field service applications & Schedule and dispatch work orders

  • Complete two timed full-length practice sets, then classify every missed question by domain and root cause (unknown setting, misread scenario, sequencing error).

  • Rebuild from scratch, in under 45 minutes, a working configuration covering one incident type, one resource with characteristics, one territory and one warehouse.

  • Recite the work order lifecycle, the scheduling constraint order and the inventory transaction types from memory, checking each against the product documentation.

Your checkpoint

A one-page final review sheet: domain weights, your last practice scores per domain, the three weakest topics with the exact fix for each, and a pass or delay decision.

Milestones

Week 2: You can create a work order with an incident type, attach a customer asset with warranty information, and explain the resulting product and service lines without consulting notes.

Week 4: Domain 2 self-assessment scores at or above 80 percent, and you have scheduled a full day of requirements on the schedule board using at least two different booking methods.

Week 6: You can complete the full inventory cycle (purchase order, receive, adjust, transfer, consume, return) unaided, and one Power Automate flow and one Power Apps screen run against live work order data.

Week 8: Two timed practice sets completed, every domain scored at or above 80 percent, and no open items left on the weak-topic list.
