Create custom dialogs via Application Designer UI

Rumor has it that Control Desk has a way to create custom dialogs from the UI in Application Designer. Can we get that functionality in core Maximo too? It would be a lot easier to create dialogs in Application Designer, compared to doing it in XM...

I have a custom dialog in the Classifications application that I created manually in ASSETCAT.XML (via XML export-->Notepad-->XML import). Screenshot: https://i.stack.imgur.com/67plY.png As mentioned, I did need to create that dialog via XML...

Add a WORKTYPE field to JOBPLAN

It would be helpful if there were a Work Type field in Job Plans. Scenario: I apply a pothole JP directly to WOs. That pothole JP always has the same work type: Corrective Maintenance . So it would make sense to put the work type in the JP. I've n...

Need an exist() method in MboSetRemote()

It would be helpful if an exist() method could be added to the MboSetRemote() class. Currently, we need to use a double negative, which is confusing: if not mboSet.notExist(): More information here: Automation Script to do equivalent of "if exists"

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.

Action to delete records

It would be helpful if there were a Maximo Action that could be used to delete records. Would honor Maximo business rules. Would be used by an escalation; the condition in the escalation would be used to determine what records to delete. Would be ...

Automatically remove Report Object Structure Security when the object structure is deleted

It would be helpful if Maximo could automatically remove Report Object Structure Security records when an object structure is deleted. Currently, if I delete an object structure, the Report Object Structure Security remains intact as an orphan (in...
