Important

The Asset Management mobile app is now available on GitHub as an open-source sample at microsoft/scmsamples-EnterpriseAssetManagement. It provides the same functionality as the original app and is freely customizable. The existing app remains available for installation through Dynamics 365 apps in the Power Platform admin center until November 30, 2026, with critical fixes from Microsoft during this transition period. After that date, the app is no longer distributed through the admin center. Existing installations continue to work in customer tenants.

Until now, canvas-app customizations made in Power Apps Studio weren't preserved across official updates. Releasing the source code as open source removes that limitation: you can build from the source, customize it freely, and deploy under your own publisher without your changes being overwritten by Microsoft updates.

Open-source release timeline

The following table summarizes the key milestones in the open-source release of the Asset Management mobile app.

Date Milestone
June 1, 2026 Source code released as open source. The app enters a 6-month transition period during which it remains available for installation through the Power Platform admin center, with critical fixes from Microsoft.
November 30, 2026 End of the transition period. Microsoft maintenance concludes and the app is no longer distributed through the Power Platform admin center. Existing installations continue to function in customer tenants.

Guidance for existing installations

Continue using the installed app

Existing installations require no action. Microsoft delivers any critical fixes during the maintenance window through the same Power Platform admin center channel as previous versions. After November 30, 2026, the installed app continues to function in the customer tenant. Customers who plan to evolve the app beyond that date should follow the Build from the open-source code guidance.

Customize the app for in-tenant use

For additive customizations to the data model (such as adding new fields, tables, or security roles), use solution layering in the Power Apps maker portal. These customizations live in the customer tenant's unmanaged solution layer and are preserved when Microsoft delivers managed-solution updates during the maintenance window.

For customizations to the canvas app itself (such as screens, formulas, or UI changes), we recommend that you build from the open-source code so your changes persist. Customizations made directly in Power Apps Studio aren't preserved across Microsoft updates during the maintenance window.

Build from the open-source code

To customize the app and make it your own, build from the open-source code provided on GitHub at microsoft/scmsamples-EnterpriseAssetManagement. The source code is licensed under the MIT license, which permits free use, modification, and redistribution.

By default, builds from the open-source code use a Microsoft-branded sample publisher (AssetManagementMobileSample, display name "Microsoft Asset Management Mobile Sample") in Microsoft Dataverse. This publisher is distinct from the first-party Microsoft publisher used by in-market Dynamics 365 products. The default publisher is appropriate when you customize and run the app in your own organization's tenant. If you plan to distribute your custom build to other organizations, change the publisher and customization prefix to your own brand before building. The repository README documents this process.

After producing a custom build under your own publisher, transitioning an existing tenant requires that you delete the existing solutions (msdyn_EnterpriseAssetManagementMobileV2 and msdyn_EnterpriseAssetManagementMobileAnchor) and import the custom-built solution. For details on deleting solutions, see Work with solutions in Power Apps.

Guidance for new installations

For Supply Chain Management customers who need field-level work order management, we recommend that you build a custom solution from the open-source code provided on GitHub at microsoft/scmsamples-EnterpriseAssetManagement. The MIT-licensed source can be customized freely and deployed under your own publisher to fit your needs. Alternatively, evaluate Microsoft AppSource for partner-built alternatives.

The existing app remains available for installation through the Power Platform admin center until November 30, 2026. For new deployments, build from the open-source code instead.

Support

For product issues during the maintenance window, use your existing Microsoft support agreements and Dynamics 365 support channels. After November 30, 2026, Microsoft doesn't provide product support for the app. Issues filed against the open-source repository aren't triaged.
