Warning that modifying ROS will make ad-hoc reports un-editable

When making a change to a report object structure (ROS): If the ROS is used by any ad-hoc report, warn the user that saving a change to the ROS will make the ad-hoc reports un-editable. It's quite a headache when an admin forgets about this limita...

Prevent WO from being closed if missing actuals

Suggestion: Add a setting in the Organizations application where we can prevent WOs from being closed if the WO doesn’t have actuals. For bonus points, add a WO where clause so that we can specify exceptions to the rule. I know this can be done vi...

Make it more obvious if task is viewed as standalone record in WOTRACK

Users sometimes accidently view tasks as standalone records in WOTRACK (a task is viewed on it's own, not through the main WO). The user doesn't always notice the ISTASK field is checked. This causes a lot of confusion. The issue continues to happ...

Batch-update custom Maximo tables on a schedule

It would be helpful if there were an OOB mechanism that could be used to batch-update custom Maximo tables on a schedule. For example, update a custom WOCOSTROLLUP table each night. Either truncate and reload all rows each time. Or, only merge/upd...

Ad-hoc report window: Indicate ROS name via mouseover

It would be helpful if the ROS name could be indicated in the ad-hoc report window -- so that Maximo admins could easily know the ROS name and find that ROS in the Object Structures application. Currently, only the ROS description is indicated in ...

Add custom persistent field to CLASSSTRUCTURE without outage

It would be really helpful if we could add custom persistent fields to the CLASSSTRUCTURE table -- without the need for a db config outage. More information in this IBM Community post: https://community.ibm.com/community/user/iot/communities/commu...

Filter where field is null OR equals value

When filtering in the list view: It would be helpful if ~null~ would work with the OR operator. For example, search for ~null~ OR a value. Currently, ~null~ can only be used by itself when filtering. While that is possible when using the SQL WHERE...

Pare down the WORKORDER table (it's too big)

The WORKORDER table is too big, especially when Maximo add-ons are installed (~300 columns). Some of the old/extra columns should be retired. This would improve Maximo performance.
