Users export CSV data from reports. When Maximo exports the data to CSV, the DB column names are used as the CSV column headers, instead of the report labels. It would be helpful if there were a way to export the report labels instead: https://i.s...

Only automatically approve/lock inside labor actuals once the WO is completed (optional setting)

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...

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...

Use a CLASSIFICATION multiple times within a hierarchy path

There is an arbitrary limitation in Maximo where we can only use each CLASSIFICATION once in a given hierarchy path. It would be helpful if we could use a CLASSIFICATION multiple times within a hierarchy path. Related info here: CLASSIFICATION table

Manage/cancel back-end processes from UI (i.e. pmwogen)

Need a way to manage/cancel back-end processes from Maximo UI (i.e. pmwogen) More information here: How to interrupt PM-->Generate WOs? We would prefer to do this via the Maximo UI instead of WebSphere. And we don't want to restart the whole JV...
