Honor global data restriction in child WO table control

Scenario - table control doesn't honor global data restriction: (WOTRACK-->Plans/Actuals tabs-->Child WO table control) I created a data restriction that would make the WO.PARENT attribute read-only -- WHERE ISTASK=0. https://i.stack.imgur.c...

Prevent tasks from being converted to WOs (optional setting)

This RFE was recently declined: Converting task to child WO: WOCLASS remains as 'ACTIVITY' (incorrect) It's my understanding that the devs at IBM agree that Maximo is designed incorrectly, but that it would take too much effort/change/risk to impl...

Instead of hiding invalid statuses, make them available, but pop up an error/explanation

There is OOB functionality and configurable functionality in Maximo where certain statuses are hidden from the change status picklist. Example: If a WO has unapproved actuals, then the CLOSE status is hidden from the change status picklist. The fa...

Use classification drilldown/tree on custom persistent fields

It would be helpful if we could use the classification drilldown/tree on custom persistent fields. Currently, that's not possible because the Java class is hard-coded to only work in specific parts of Maximo (like the Advanced Search). We want to ...

WOs filtered in the list view: select their child WOs too

Scenario: A user has filtered for some WOs in the WOTRACK list view. Some of the WOs are parent WOs, so the user wants to select any children of the WOs too. Currently, there isn't a way to "select the child WOs too" in WOTRACK. Could IBM consider...

Report Administration list view: Intuitive way to filter for ad-hoc reports

Report Administration: We need an intuitive way to filter for ad-hoc reports in the list view. Currently, there isn't a field in any of the report tables that clearly tells us if a report is ad-hoc or not. So we don't have any good options for con...

Add a description field to *attribute* formulas

For attribute formulas: It would be helpful if we could add comments to complex formulas that we’ve written…to describe what the formulas do and how they work. In other words, could IBM please add a DESCRIPTION field to the ATTRFORMULA table. (Thi...

Create native db views via Maximo db config -- for the purpose of *importing* views

For those of us who don't have CREATE VIEW privileges in the database: It would be helpful if there could be a way to create native db views via Maximo. The native db views would later be imported into Maximo as imported view objects. While we do ...

Exclude Attributes Mode should be automatically set to read-only for Report Object Structures

From the IBM Support (Case #TS007660791): "This behaviour is not a Bug. This is because the “Exclude Attributes Mode” option in Object Structures was made for Consumed By = INTEGRATION, but not for Consumed By = REPORTING. The documentation in a f...

Add a OOB default value to WORKORDER.ANYWHEREUNDO
