Workforce in the Windows 10 App Store

RichardLittlefield — Tue, 18 Sep 2018 16:05:00 GMT

I'd like to have Workforce available as an app in the Windows 10 App Store. My organization uses ruggedized Windows 10 devices in the field and I'd like to have them be able to use Workforce with the Collector App that is already available.

Some of our inspection workflows use Workforce and Collector and this works seamlessly on iOS in the field. You can switch back and forth between applications without having to go outside the apps. I'd like that similar experience with Windows 10 in the field. I know Workforce can be used through a web browser, however when you're also using Collector as an app it makes sense to have Workforce as an app.

I'm also aware that Windows is the least popular mobile platform. I personally like iOS, however my Organization chose Windows 10, so I have to support that. I think at minimum three apps need to be available across all three platforms (iOS, Android, & Windows): 1: Collector (already available) 2: Explorer (separate idea) 3: Workforce (this idea). Thank you.

Did this ever get any response? We currently have the same problem. We want to utilize a Surface Pro to catch assignments instead of phone for assignments and Surface for all other things. Just curious about the outlook (pun intended).

No never heard anything. Since this post I've changed jobs and haven't really been following what's available in the Windows platform. I remember hearing officially that they were going to bring Field Maps to Windows, but don't know if that's actually happened. I have no idea about Workforce.
