Sample: Query the working hours of multiple users

This sample shows how to retrieve the working hours of multiple users by using the QueryMultipleSchedulesRequest message. You can download the sample from here.

This sample requires additional users that are not present in your system. Create the required user manually as is shown below in Microsoft 365 before you run the sample. Replace yourorg with the OrgName of your organization.

First Name: Kevin
Last Name: Cook
Security Role: Sales Manager
UserName: kcook@yourorg.onmicrosoft.com

How to run this sample

  1. Download or clone the Samples repo so that you have a local copy.
  2. (Optional) Edit the cds/App.config file to define a connection string specifying the Microsoft Dataverse instance you want to connect to.
  3. Open the sample solution in Visual Studio and press F5 to run the sample. After you specify a connection string in cds/App.config, any sample you run will use that connection information.

If you do not specify a connection string in cds/App.config file, a dialog will open each time you run the sample and you will need to enter information about which Dataverse instance you want to connect to and which credentials you want to use. This dialog will cache previous connections so that you can choose a previously used connection.

Those samples in this repo that require a connection to a Dataverse instance to run will include a linked reference to the cds/App.config file.

What this sample does

The QueryMultipleScheduleRequest message is intended to be used in a scenario where it contains data that is needed to search multiple resources for available time block that match the specified parameters.

How this sample works
