Dynamics 365 Field Service : Add service tasks to incidents

Dynamics 365 Field Service :  Add service tasks to incidents

In Dynamics 365 Field Service, incidents represent predefined sets of work that technicians perform during service visits—like repairing an air conditioner or installing a network router. These incidents can include various elements such as products, services, and most importantly, service tasks.

What Are Service Tasks?

Service tasks are step-by-step actions that technicians should follow when working on a service call. Think of them as a digital checklist embedded into your work orders. These tasks improve consistency, ensure quality, and help with time tracking and compliance.

Example:

If the incident is “Air Conditioner Maintenance,” the service tasks might include:

  • Inspect air filter
  • Check refrigerant levels
  •  Tighten electrical connections
  •  Test system operation

Why Add Service Tasks to Incidents?

Adding service tasks to incidents helps you:

  •  Standardize service delivery across technicians
  •  Improve customer satisfaction by ensuring all required steps are completed
  •  Capture detailed service information for reporting and audits
  •  Reduce training time for new technicians

How to Add Service Tasks to an Incident:

1. Go to Field Service App

  • Navigate to the Field Service area in Dynamics 365.

2. Open the Incident Type

  •  In the menu, go to “Incident Types” and choose the incident you want to add tasks to.

3. Navigate to Service Tasks Tab

  •  In the Incident Type form, switch to the “Service Tasks” tab.

4. Add a New Task

  • Click + New Incident Type Service Task. Enter the task name, description, estimated duration, and order.

5. Save and Publish

  • Save the changes. The next time a work order is created based on this incident, the tasks will automatically be included.

 Tip:

You can also use inspection templates for more structured forms like yes/no, measurements, or image captures. This takes your service tasks to the next level.

By adding service tasks to incidents, you bring structure, quality, and efficiency to your field service operations. It’s a simple feature—but it delivers big impact!
