Allow PERSONID to be different than USERID

When we manually create a user in MAS, or if the user is synchronized from LDAP, there is no way to set the PERSONID to a different value than the USERID. MAS User administration only has USERID and USERNAME (which translates to maximo.loginid). I...

Replace the MAXDEMO database

It would be helpful if IBM could invest in a new MAXDEMO database where the data has actually passed through the MBO business logic and dates are not 30 years old. The existing MAXDEMO data isn't very useful because the data is messy. The demo dat...

Export report to XLSX as single table/sheet

Currently, when exporting a report to XLSX, the data gets split into multiple sheets. It would be helpful if there were an option to export to XLSX where the data is all in a single table/sheet. We understand why .pdf format was designed to retain...
