Only automatically approve/lock inside labor actuals once the WO is completed (optional setting)

There is a Organizations application setting that automatically approves inside labor actuals -- when saved. That setting is useful; it cuts down on effort/confusion when labor actuals need to be manually approved for each WO. However, to us, it d...

Allow supervisors to edit an approved labor actual (while the WO is still INPRG)

In WOTRACK: It would be helpful if IBM could add an action/dialog that would allow supervisors to edit an approved labor actual while the WO is still INPRG. To us, it doesn't make sense that labor actuals become locked forever when they are approv...

PR item: Worklog dialog before deleting (optional system setting)

Could IBM please consider implementing a worklog dialog when a user deletes a PR item? (as an optional system setting) Screenshot: https://i.stack.imgur.com/SS9wR.png So that we will have a record of the deletion details in the worklog: Who delete...

List aggregation function for formulas

There is an exceptionally useful aggregation function in SQL called LISTAGG(). It can be used to aggregate a list of values together as a delimited string. And the values can be sorted alphabetically too. Example: select listagg(objectname, ', ' )...

Ad-hoc reports shouldn't fill in gaps on right side of join (YORN field)

Scenario: I have a view object in Maximo that only selects WOs, not tasks (ISTASK=0). I effectively have a left join from the WORKORDER table to the view. If I were to mock up what Maximo does, but in an SQL client, it would look like this: select...

JSON Mapping: It would be helpful if there were a way to store conditional values globally Example: We have JSON Mappings for 10 integrations. All 10 integrations have the same field, with the same conditional value list (exact same values). It wo...
