DB join fields: Improve the ALT+F1 field help

There are fields in Maximo applications that are related to joins. It would be helpful if the ALT+F1 help for those fields could be improved so that it's clearer what the purpose of those fields is (the joins in question are INNER JOINs): Object S...

Imported db view: SEARCH TYPE other than NONE

For imported view objects—>text attributes: It would be helpful if we could set the SEARCH TYPE to values other than NONE (such as WILDCARD or EXACT). SEARCH TYPE is read-only for imported views. That would allow us to do things like search on ...

Check if session is interactive (formulas and MBR)

When configuring formulas or MBR scripts (as well as conditional expressions): We need a way to check if the session is interactive. This could be solved with a new bind variable or a new OOB function.

Condition on actions in action groups

Could IBM add a condition field to actions in action groups? That would give us greater control over if/when an action is used in an escalation.

Edit imported view object's attribute datatype after saving -- but before db config

Scenario: Create an imported view object in db config. Save the object. We need to change a field type, but can't because the fields are read-only. It seems like it should be possible to edit saved object attribute datatypes -- before db config is...

autoscript performance enhancement: provide method to check current logging level

The service object now sports log_debug() and log_info() methods. Maximo autoscripters are thankful for the option to choose the level we log messages at. The next step is to allow us to optimize performance by allowing us to choose when we try to...

Allow administrators to enter free-form expressions in ad-hoc reports

variable assignments in autoscripts should logged at the TRACE level

I believe it is good practice for automation scripts to log approximately 1 message at the INFO level per execution -- just enough to give a support person a clue that the script is running and that it did something. In addition to that, a script ...

Honor crossover domain when creating WO from PM/JP/Route

Currently, Maximo doesn't utilize crossover domains when creating a WO from a PM (the PM includes a JP and a Route). It would be helpful if Maximo could be enhanced so that crossover domains are honored in that scenario.
