Field Technician Canvas App Development

Project Concept: A comprehensive Canvas app for field technicians to conduct inspections, report issues, and manage assets on-site. The app will be offline-capable, feature-rich, and integrated with a backend database for real-time reporting and analytics. Core Features:

Dynamic Inspection Forms: Create a Canvas app where the inspection checklist fields change dynamically based on the asset type (e.g., electrical panel, HVAC unit) selected by the technician. This demonstrates complex data modeling and conditional logic.

Offline-First Data Capture: Build robust offline capabilities using collections. Technicians can complete inspections in areas with no connectivity, with data automatically syncing to Dataverse/SQL once back online via a Power Automate flow.

Integrated Media and Signatures: Allow technicians to capture photos of assets, annotate them (using the HTML control and JavaScript), and capture customer signatures directly within the app for proof of service.

Barcode/QR Code Scanner: Implement a barcode scanner to quickly pull up asset information, reducing manual entry errors and saving time.

Power BI Dashboard Integration: Embed a Power BI report directly within the app to show the technician their performance metrics or the service history of the asset they are inspecting.
