Objective
After reading this article, you will understand how to setup Salesforce Field Service Mobile with Youreka to allow working with Youreka forms inside the Salesforce Field Service mobile app.
Before you get started
This article might be helpful before you read further:
Note: Available in the Newton release
The Salesforce Field Service LWC workspace allows a user to work on existing Youreka forms while remaining inside the Field Service mobile app. This feature is useful because it eliminates the need for a user to switch between the Field Service Mobile app and the Youreka Mobile app to access and work with your Youreka Forms.
Once you have setup the Salesforce Field Service with Youreka you be able to:
- Load a basic form in the SFS mobile app
- Submit a basic form in the SFS mobile app and have the data saved back to Salesforce
- Load a cached basic form in the SFS mobile app

To Create Service Appointments, and Setup Work Orders and Forms

- Create a new Form from that template and add the previously created Work Order in the Work Order lookup
Launch the form in Field Service Mobile
