Resco Power Components for Microsoft Power Platform & Dynamics 365
Scheduler
Use this PCF control to easily manage team members or other resources on a drag-and-drop scheduling board.
It has three parts: The left pane displays a list of resources, the center pane is a timetable where you schedule activities (meetings, inspections, repairs, work orders, phone calls), and the right pane lists sources, such as work orders or accounts. Works best on larger screens.
Scheduler also lets you view a list of available resources, display a history of completed tasks, filter by skill or territory, and more. Launch it in your browser as a web app from Microsoft Power Platform.
Tip: Download the Scheduler Configurator to simplify setup.
