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 OOB default value to WORKORDER.ANYWHEREUNDO

When creating a non-imported view on WORKORDER via the Maximo UI (Database Configuration application): We get an error - BMXAA8772E - The Default Value field for object TESTWOVIEW attribute ANYWHEREUNDO requires a value. To avoid getting that erro...

Download additional columns when exporting to Excel from the list view (optional setting)

When downloading to Excel from the list view: It would be helpful if we could let the user download additional columns -- other than what's shown in the list view. (optional setting) We want to use the list view for this, not Application Export (A...

Dynamic collections (based on SQL where clause)

Enhance collections to make them "dynamic" / have them maintain their own COLLECTDETAILS. Add two attributes for a SQL where clause (one for ASSETS one for LOCATIONS) that would then evaluate the list against that where clause and remove any COLLE...

Collections: Batch select assets

In the Collections application: We need to batch-select assets via a filter, etc.. We don't want to manually select individual assets. https://i.stack.imgur.com/Rd5Tx.png
