Business value

Annotations are a core piece of the Dynamics 365 Remote Assist functionality because they enable technicians and remote collaborators to easily specify an area or particular asset to look at or manipulate, rather than trying to verbally convey this to an inexperienced technician. By updating the algorithm used, the accuracy and ease of adding annotations will allow users to better use the Dynamics 365 Remote Assist mobile experience.

Feature details

This feature includes the following capabilities for 2020 release wave 2:

  • Modifying the annotation placement algorithm that better detects non-planar surfaces and allows better placement of annotations in your environment.
  • Improved arrow and ink scaling in your environment.
