allow update of Mbo in SqlFormat

psdi.mbo.SqlFormat needs a performance enhancement. It needs to allow instance owners to change the Mbo used to format strings, perhaps on the basis of individual calls to simpleFormat(). Right now, the only way to change the Mbo in a SqlFormat in...

Table domain: Need an easier way to define what column from the table is returned as the field value

Example: I've created a table domain on the WORKTYPE table. The lookup is returning the value from WORKTYPE.WORKTYPEID field (since it's the tables' unique column). But that's not the field/value I want. I want the value from WORKTYPE.WORKTYPE to ...

Make ROS / ad hoc report editing rule smarter

There is a rule where we can't edit an ad hoc report if its ROS has been edited after the report was created. That rule makes sense, but only for certain kinds of ROS edits. There are lots of changes we could make to the ROS -- that wouldn't ever ...

Job Plan Conditions should work with PM/JP/Route

Currently, Job Plan Conditions aren't honored when WOs are created from a PM that has a Job Plan and a Route. It would be helpful if Maximo could be enhanced so that Job Plan Conditions work in that scenario.

Easier way to run cron task on demand

Object Structures: Exclude Attributes Mode should work for Report Object Structures too

In the Object Structures application: Currently, Exclude Attributes Mode isn't designed to work for Report Object Structures (Consumed By = REPORTING). Exclude Attributes Mode is only is designed to work where Consumed By = INTEGRATION. See case #...

Ad-hoc report text fields: Align-left instead of align-right (optional setting)

Maximo aligns ad-hoc report text fields to the right, instead of to the left. Screenshot: https://i.stack.imgur.com/KrbtZ.png That's different from most software platforms. Other programs like Excel, MS Access, and SQL clients align text to the le...

DB Config: Only discard pending changes for specific objects

When making changes to several objects in DB Config: Often, we want to discard the changes to one of the objects before applying the changes. Currently, there isn't a way to discard the changes to specific objects. Instead, we need to discarding t...

Importing a view: Don't make the attribute fields be read-only

When importing a view: (not to be confused with creating a view in Maximo directly via the UI) With imported views, there is a limitation in the DB Config application —> Attributes tab where the attribute fields become arbitrarily read-only, de...
