Ad-hoc report text fields: Align-left instead of align-right (optional setting)

Maximo aligns ad-hoc report text fields to the right, instead of to the left. Screenshot: https://i.stack.imgur.com/KrbtZ.png That's different from most software platforms. Other programs like Excel, MS Access, and SQL clients align text to the le...

DB Config: Action to duplicate relationship

In the DB Config-->Relationships tab: We often need to duplicate relationships. Reason: We need to make a minor adjustment to an OOB relationship, but don't want to alter the OOB relationship. So we make a duplicate relationship instead (with a...
