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...

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...
